Hi! Thank you for viewing my website. I’m Aimee’ Jules Macquet and I'm a professional photographer based in Nelson, New Zealand.
My Story
My Dad was that classic parent always following us around with a camera capturing all those precious moments that we now look back on fondly. At the time I remember finding it annoying and would roll my eyes when he would yell ‘smile!’, although this is probably what first sparked my interest in photography.
After graduating high-school I made the move to Wellington to study Industrial Design at Victoria University. Early on in my course I was pleasantly surprised with the emphasis my teachers made on photographing/videography our designs, so I borrowed my brothers Canon 700D and before I knew it I was capturing everything around me. It lite a fire inside me and I literally took that camera everywhere with me, eventually I saved up enough money and brought my own. I would stay up into the early hours of the morning watching YouTube tutorials then find anyone that would let me take their photo and experiment with different techniques. My passion grew strong and I found myself enjoying photographing and presenting my designs more than I did designing them! So when I finished my degree in I decided it was time to turn my passion into my career.
Over the past several years I have worked hard to refine my style and distinguish what sets me apart from others. Letting the love and drive of my passion guide me I have had the privilege of travelling all over New Zealand working for clients in a variety of industries as well as individuals with incredible stories. Continuously growing and expanding my knowledge of photography, videography and business.
My intentions are to keep working on projects and with individuals that align with my values, working hard to bring their visions to life. I am always willing to go that little bit bigger, crazier and wilder to achieve something that gives you that desirable feeling of wonder.
WONDER - ‘a feeling of amazement and admiration, caused by something beautiful, remarkable, or unfamiliar.’
