Avodah Photo + Cinema

We have been lucky enough to collaborate with Avodah on a couple of projects and their expertise, creativity and professionalism was nothing short of exceptional. We would happily recommend Avodah to anyone looking to use their services. Thank you Nathan and the team for producing some incredible video content and working with us to make it happen. We're looking forward to the next opportunity to do it all over again!

The team at Avodah were amazing to work with. From the get go Nathan and his entire team were so understanding and had so much knowledge about how things would work for both our weddings. They were extremely helpful in navigating the process of photography and videography for our big day. The photos and videos were incredible and even the teasers were outstanding. When we asked for additional bits from our big day they were more than happy to provide that for us. They made the whole process smooth and seamless. We’re so glad we were recommended to use Avodah for our big day (s) and that they were able to take us on as their client. Thank you so much to the entire time for capturing our special moments.

The whole team from Avodah were so wonderful throughout the entire wedding process! We greatly appreciated how genuine, professional and warm they all were. They made everything so easy and enjoyable! The photographs were amazing and everyone commented on how professional and high quality they were. Would highly recommend Avodah to anyone getting married or wanting photography for any occasion:)

Nathan, Breanna and Team are amazing.
Extremely skilled and highly professional photographer/videographers. I would thoroughly recommend you contact these guys and have a chat. We used them for our wedding and they are lovely to have around on our special day. We captured some amazing memories thanks to them and they will be cherished for a life time.

We engaged Avodah for our photography and cinema for our wedding over the weekend and we were blown away. The weather was wet but that didn't stop them or stop their amazing creative ideas. They really took care of us and each member of the team was friendly and down to earth - something really special. They integrated well within our special day and with our other vendors, families, friends and guests. Everything went smoothly. Having done some recent weddings we know of we knew they would produce something spectacular. We cannot recommend them enough. Thank you and we can't wait to see the end products!

We have found Nathan and his Team to be professional, prompt and efficient at all times. Our photo shoot was fun and the results made all of us look good. No small feat. Thanks Team.

Nathan & the Avodah Team have created some great content for us, the standard is excellent and the level of professionalism is second to none. We get a lot of positive feedback on the work - a snapshot video of our company including a time-lapse of the factory in action, a fantastic before and after showcase video and a kitchen installation time-lapse which certainly has the wow factor. Would not hesitate in recommending Avodah Photo & Cinema.

Second time working with these people, very professional and are good at what they are doing. Highly recommend the team.

We were very pleased with the service we received from Avodah Photo + Cinema. They provided great advice on setting up the videos for their best effect. The finishing they added in terms of additional text and zooming in on the images increased the educational value of the videos hugely. The turn around and the support they gave while editing the videos more than met expectation. I would have no hesitation to recommend to others to use their service.

Avodah have been an essential part of our business marketing strategy. I was able to communicate the heart of our school and they have been able to transfer that into amazing visual stories, that show exactly who we are. They are able to catch the vision, and the very heart of our core business and portray that in an exceptional way. Extremely talented, trustworthy yet they are focused on a happy and successful result.

I absolutely recommend Nathan and the team from Avodah for your next video or photo project. They executed a pretty large community focused project in a short timeframe to a high standard. They go above and beyond to make your final product look amazing. Highly recommend.

The Avodah team are some of the loveliest people you can ever hope to work for. From the minute we talked to Nathan and B on the phone - they made the entire experience of having our wedding videod and photographed wonderful. We had a slightly more challenging wedding with 3 different events. The team went out of their way to capture all elements of what felt like a wedding festival. The final products we received were beautiful and we are so grategul to have these forever. It was so easy to trust the entire team. Thank you so much to the team and we will always recommend you <3

Nate and Bebe are absolutely outstanding. They were our wedding videographers and were absolutely the best to work with. They are true professionals, from meeting at the venue a couple of days before to work out the set up, to offering to capture a small pre-wedding event the day before, to how nice it was on the day being able to relax and know these two have you covered.
Not only that, but the videos we’ve got have completely and utterly floored us –100% blowing away our expectations and they have given us memories that will last us and our families forever. Again, the videos they have produced are second to none.
Nate and Bebe are genuinely the nicest people, complete professionals, first class cinematographers, and I could not possibly recommend them any higher. Thanks so much team! Matt & Sukhi.

The team at Avodah - Nathan, Bebe, Sophie and Kent were wonderful.

Professional through and through, their communication was great throughout the entire process. Nathan spent hours working with me prior to the wedding day to make sure that we were on the same page around timeline and details. Informative, He outlined a clear timetable for their requirements, to enable them to deliver what we were wanting. Nathan responded quickly even during the busy wedding season. Prior to the wedding day Nathan and Bebe came out to our venue twice - first to scout for locations, then to the rehearsal. I felt at ease with them and trusted them with our big day.

And when it arrived they did not disappoint! The team did an amazing job. As well as being lovely to be around, they were professional and great with our guests. Despite our cozy ceremony area, the Avodah team of 4 were inconspicuous (out of everybody’s way) while still catching amazing shots. So many guests commented on this. When Avodah did address the guests to direct photos they were awesome - I had so many guests say “your photographers were great! ”
We had a wonderful time with them on the day.

Afterwards we received a sneak peek just under a week later. It was great to get a bulk amount of amazing photos so soon after the wedding. Nathan communicated clear timeframes around photos/videos and met/exceeded these. And man the quality is amazing! Stunning photos and cinematic film with everything captured as we wanted. We have our photos, our teaser, highlight and feature films as well as the ceremony and reception. Having so much content has been great to relive the experience and I would highly recommend getting videography from Avodah as their products are stunning. We’ve absolutely loved the Avodah experience and would highly recommend them to everyone. Thank you Avodah for providing us with amazing memories that can be revisited time and time again.

Avodah were the best photographers we could ask for. They were super helpful throughout the whole process offered heaps of options like doing our invitations and had our photos ready two weeks before we expected them! Plus they are just the nicest couple and made being photographed a great experience. Highly highly recommend!

The first thing I spent the endless hours wedding planning was on finding the right photographer/videographer. The wedding was based in Auckland and Hamilton so I started my search in these areas. After going through what felt like hundreds and hundreds of photos and videos with "trendy filters" of different companies I came to the conclusion I couldn't find it locally and widened my search to the North Island. That's when I came across Avodah, not only were their photos not super filtered, but their videography and story telling was next level. They traveled up to Auckland for our Engagement shoot and Wedding day. On the days Nathan and Bebe knew exactly what they were doing and their diversity along with the rest of the team made us fall in love with photo after photo and fill us with the same joy we felt on the day every time we watch our videos. I highly recommend Avodah if you're after timeless photos and videos as they have mastered their craft and will deliver on time too! Would happily do it all over again!

Highly recommend the Avodah team, they are amazing! We used them for our wedding and from the beginning through to the end they offered endless support, advice and guidance. On the day itself we felt in safe hands and their experience and professionalism shone through and allowed us to relax and enjoy the best day of our lives!
The photos and video are just beautiful, it’s like re-living the moment, truly first class and is something we will treasure forever.
Thanks Avodah for your outstanding work in capturing our wedding day so perfectly.

Avodah have got your back!
Nate and Bebe were available the day before our wedding to take a look around the venue and check out photography spots with us when we discovered a small issue with the outdoor aesthetics.
With 3/4 of the angles taken up with temporary eyesores (a giant stage and shipping containers for a concert) Nate and Bebe managed to find us a beautiful new ceremony spot that worked perfectly with the sunlight, as well as on-site bridal party photo locations, and managed to keep us calm at the same time! We are so grateful.

The following day, the team worked seamlessly, sneaking around us and our guests, capturing our day (our teaser video is amazing, the talent in this team is next level, and we are so excited to see the full video!). We also had nothing but lovely comments from our guests about Avodah.

We had so much fun with you all - thank you for being a part of our special day! A + J

From the very start Nathan & Breanna at Avodah Photography & Design were awesome. They worked out a package that suited our needs and budget and were open and flexible about making it work for us and listened to what we wanted out of our big day. From our first meeting to receiving our final images they were very professional and made the whole process very easy and enjoyable. Thanks N & B!

These guys are brilliant! New, fresh, and innovative ideas in photography and in their design. Very professional, and yet very friendly to deal with. I would highly recommend these guys for any photography and design needs. I am personally going to be using them for both photography and design for marketing myself in my profession. This will range from photography and design for marketing material, website design, to brochures etc.
