Kia ora, I'm Scott Parekowhai, a passionate photographer, videographer & live streamer dedicated to sharing stories and capturing precious moments.
Specialising in event photography and videography, I have a keen eye for capturing the beauty and āhua of all occasions, including kaupapa Māori, weddings, portrait sessions, and many others.
My offerings are tailored to your needs, with personalised services such as candid photography, immersive event videography, audio recording, and aerial/drone services. The experience of my clients is paramount, which is why I provide a comprehensive package encompassing photo and video editing, sound engineering, and timely delivery of all work.
My commitment to te ao Māori fuels my work. Proficient in te reo and grounded in tikanga Māori, I am passionate about weaving our culture into each story I tell. My comfort within te ao Māori and know-how in our spaces allows me to effectively capture our stories while honouring our sacred spaces and ceremonies.
Beyond technical expertise, I bring a warm and inviting āhua to every shoot. Creating a relaxed environment is essential, especially for our whānau who can be a bit camera-shy. My professionalism and easygoing demeanour ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all.
Born and raised in the heart of Tāmaki Makaurau, I call this stunning city my home base. However, I'm always up for new adventures and experiences and am open to travelling near or far to capture your special moments.

Within te ao Māori, the meaning of the word auaha (pronounced: au-aha) embodies shaping, creating, innovating, forming, and fashioning. It beautifully captures what I aim to do with my media - shaping narratives, capturing moments, and fashioning visual artistry.
I've got quite the arsenal of gear in my toolkit! From a mix of mirrorless and DSLR cameras to gimbals, GODOX flashes, RODE microphones, DJI drones, tripods, and beyond. When it comes to editing, I swear by Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, and Premiere Pro - they're my absolute ride-or-dies!
