Introducing Jason & Nancy from Bad Panda Productions. They film weddings and turn your day into an epic time capsule. They don't over complicate things. Fun, candid, and cinematic pretty much sums up a Bad Panda wedding film. If their vibe of film is your vibe of film, then why don't you vibe together and along with L'Orangerie, create something that will make you laugh your ass off, get through a box of tissues and justify the price tag of all those flowers and empty champagne bottles.

New Found

I’m Bryony, a photographer based in Mount Maunganui and the owner of NEWFOUND. With over a decade of experience working across weddings, architecture, and spaces, my approach is calm and observational. I look for natural light, honest moments, and the details that often go unnoticed.

I keep things simple, give gentle direction when needed, and let the day unfold without interference. The goal is to create images that feel real. Not overly styled or staged, just a true reflection of the people and the place.
