HI, WELCOME TO THE BLOG OF ST CLAIR PHOTOGRAPHY

We are wedding and portrait photographers based in Hamilton, New Zealand. We currently skip back and forth between Japan and New Zealand shooting everything from weddings to model portfolios and portrait sessions. We are available to shoot nationwide including Waikato / Auckland / Wellington / Christchurch / Dunedin, and also internationally. We shoot both medium format / 35mm film, and also some digital. Have fun looking through our photos, come back often and see what we're up to. We hope to hear from you whether you're interested in meeting with us, or just want to chat about photography.

Zojoji Temple New Years Eve 2009
