Hi, my name is James Coralde
I am a photographer / film maker based in the Manawatu, New Zealand. I am passionate about creating timeless visuals + films & to lead a team of the finest creatives.
Coralde Studio is dedicated to delivering the best results for every special occasion, events & wedding celebrations. I am all about capturing those special moments in the most authentic way imaginable.
Help! I am struggling to find the right photographer!
I know it can be very difficult to find the right photographer & it can be daunting at times. Well, I am here to the rescue!
I am so easygoing & very confident in my craft & do my utter best to deliver exceptional results with the occasional 'dad-jokes' on tap.
I will always try my best to keep the couple entertained as I understand one can be very shy & not so confident while posing. I totally understand your concerns. Over the years, I have gathered enough experience to have the ability to ease the couple I have had the privilege of working with.
I am very precise in directing without leaving you clueless as I will be with you every step of the way. I will ensure that you will come out feeling comfortable, satisfied, & feeling like a million once you have the opportunity to view your images/galleries. You are in good hands!
3 Fun facts about me:
1. I have been a part-time dance/choreography teacher for the last 10 years. I also have had the privilege to put my two cents in choreographing for couples' first dance from time to time. If you would like advice on perhaps any dance tips + tricks please feel free to ask. It has certainly been a humbling experience seeing the effort the couple puts in from start to finish. Always get a kick out of it when they execute it with ease on their epic day! Also, don't be surprised if you find me on your wedding day dancing on the D-floor while capturing those epic dance shots. I get amongst it alright!
2. When I am not behind the camera lens I run another business in the Engineering/Technician field specializing in Civil/Structural. It can certainly be a juggle from one bizzo to another in the busy season. But if you were to ask me which I favour the most it's definitely the creative side.
3. Being Filipino, I can understand Tagalog (my native language).
