Portrait & Wedding

 

kia ora, nau mai.

Hello and welcome to my photography website.

Here you can see images of clients I have had the pleasure of capturing and also the services I provide.

After 18 years as a photographer I have come back to the main reason I started photography.

The moment, the people, the memories.

My biggest goal is to make you, the person in front of the camera, feel relaxed and able to laugh. That’s what makes for true, honest, still image memories.

I just happen to be a photographer as well…

Matty was amazing and went above and beyond to help us feel comfortable and relaxed on our wedding day. The pictures are gorgeous, they couldn’t have turned out better! We’re so glad that we chose to have him as a part of the day, it wouldn’t have been the same without him and we can’t recommend him enough. Thanks Matty! - Tanya T

Matty went the extra mile to achieve a fantastic photo despite bad weather on the day. I would highly recommend Matty's services to anyone looking for a photographer in the Queenstown area. - Claire N

Matthew is great, he really makes you feel comfortable during the shooting and the result is amazing! Thank you! - Cindy M

Matthew Pester

Hi, I’m Matty.

I have a great passion for capturing people.

From candid to posed, and all those off the cuff moments in between. The opportunity to share those moments with you and capture them for you to look back on in the future, is what gets me kicking!

I have used many camera systems over the years and still shoot Film as well as my trusty full frame DSLM’s that I use for almost everything you see here in my galleries.

Queenstown based, Portrait and Wedding photographer.

My Gear

Having a passion for photography has lead me to acquiring many different, and sometime quirky cameras.

From older Canon and Pentax in my younger years of photography, to the now where I predominately shoot with Sony.

I also use a 35mm Olympus OM-2 SLR, and a Yashica MAT124G 6x6 TLR Medium Format film camera.
