CORALDE STUDIO Visuals + Film

James was great to work with. He made me feel very comfortable on the day and everything flowed nicely. He kept in contact before and after the day so that we knew what was happening and he was very approachable with any questions or query’s that I had. I would highly recommend and would work with James again in the future.

James was great to work with and delivers such wonderful photos for you to remember the special moments. We got to do both an engagement shoot and our wedding with him. We were put at ease during our engagement photos with his relaxed and fun way of going about the whole shoot. We're so happy we have such beautiful pictures to remember our special day.Highly recommend Coralde Studio :)

From the early stages of planning to the final delivery of the video, James was an absolute pleasure to work with. He took the time to understand our vision, preferences, and unique love story, ensuring that every precious moment was beautifully captured. His professionalism and attention to detail were truly commendable.On the wedding day itself, James blended into the background, allowing us and our guests to feel at ease and natural in front of the camera. He effortlessly captured all the candid moments, joyous celebrations, and heartfelt exchanges that unfolded throughout the day. His discreet presence made us forget we were being filmed, resulting in authentic footage that perfectly reflects the atmosphere and emotions of our wedding.The final video that James delivered surpassed all our expectations. It was a breath-taking video that beautifully weaved together the highlights, emotions, and intricate details of our special day. The editing was flawless, and the personalised voice overs complemented the visuals, creating a truly cinematic experience that moved us to tears.Our family and friends were equally captivated by the wedding video. Many of them mentioned how it felt as though they were reliving the day with us. Guests also reported that they enjoyed James' company, many saying how funny and kind he was. Our video is a treasure we will cherish for a lifetime, and we cannot thank him enough for preserving our memories so exquisitely.Thank you, James, for immortalizing our wedding day in such a breathtaking way. Your talent, passion, and dedication have left an indelible mark on our hearts, and we will forever be grateful for the incredible gift you have given us.Many thanks,The Crofts

James was our wedding videographer and we can't recommend him enough!! Start to finish he had fantastic communication and was incredibly professional while still remaining relaxed and friendly, he made sure he knew exactly what we were after with our video-and delivered it brilliantly, the timeframes were far better than expected (especially given how busy he was) and his prices really reasonable. Will definitely be recommending!

James is someone who truly loves photography and has a gift for capturing the authentic moments and expressions seen in memorable events like weddings. From our first coffee meeting with James to discuss him coming onboard as our photographer for our Wedding, we were blown away by his professional yet down-to-earth personality. Nothing was in the too-hard-basket for him. On the Wedding Day, he was super helpful in coordinating our bridal party and ourselves in where to stand, how to pose etc whilst cracking jokes and bringing out our natural reactions which he somehow managed to capture so beautifully on camera. If you are Manawatu or New Zealand based and in need of a photographer, we would highly recommend James Coralde!

James was integral to the success of our wedding. We feel privileged that we had James not only photograph our wedding but also gently point us in the right directions. He is an outstanding photographer and superbly managed all of our friends and family. On the day James stepped in to help us out at a number of key moments. The children loved him. We cannot recommend Coralde Studio more highly.

James was the photographer at our wedding in December. He was such a big part of organising the day and ensuring everything flowed smoothly as well as capturing such amazing moments in photos. We trusted him completely on the day and felt well looked after.

James is a fantastic photographer and the results we got were amazing. Our expectations were exceeded and we're very pleased with his work. Super easy to work with and very capable at directing camera-clumsy folks like us to get the best shots possible. Very excited to see what you can produce at our wedding later this year!

Wow! Where do we begin? James was amazing from the start. He even helped bring the planning together in the early stages of the wedding, with his event planning expertise too.On the day he was wonderful and everyone was asking where we'd found him! In the morning he was even helping to finish off my bead flowers while I went to get my hair done.He is so professional yet friendly and fitted in so well. It was seamless.We've just had a sneak peak of our photos and they are exquisite!We can not recommend him highly enough. Thank you James with all our heart. Amanda and Lance.
