Jo Grams
PHOTOGRAPHER
Jo Grams is an award-winning New Zealand wedding and portrait photographer based in Christchurch, specialising in documentary, editorial, and fine-art photography for couples, families, and creative brands.
With more than two decades behind the camera, Jo brings a rare balance of experience, intuition, and artistry to every session. Her signature style is shaped by the interplay of light and shadow — using contrast, composition, and atmosphere to create images that feel cinematic yet deeply personal. Blending refined editorial aesthetics with honest documentary storytelling and fine-art composition, Jo’s work captures not just how a moment looks, but how it feels.
Photography for Jo is never just about beautiful images — it is about preserving meaning. Whether she is photographing a wedding day, a growing family, or a personal brand, Jo works quietly and intuitively, allowing moments to unfold naturally. The result is imagery that feels authentic and unforced: fleeting glances, quiet connections, laughter between loved ones, and the subtle details that often become the most treasured memories.
Jo’s approach is rooted in storytelling. Every photograph is created as part of a wider narrative — a visual legacy that honours relationships, emotion, and time. Her images are designed to live beyond the screen, becoming heirlooms in albums, framed art on walls, and keepsakes passed through generations.
From intimate elopements and luxury weddings to family portraits and editorial-style branding sessions, Jo creates work that celebrates individuality and connection. Clients are drawn to her ability to make people feel at ease, seen, and beautifully themselves — resulting in photographs that are elegant, emotive, and timeless.
Based in Christchurch and serving clients throughout Canterbury, New Zealand, and internationally, Jo Grams offers a photography experience that blends artistic vision with heartfelt storytelling — transforming fleeting moments into lasting legacy.
