"Michelle did an excellent job photographing our work event. She captured so many natural, candid moments without ever being intrusive, blending into the background so everyone could relax and enjoy themselves. The final photos were fantastic quality, and we're really pleased with the results. We'd happily recommend her for any event photography."
Angie Butler | Potentia Christchurch

I'm Michelle (or Chelle, as most people call me) - a Samoan/Tuvaluan creative, born and raised here in Ōtautahi, Christchurch. I provide a range of video, photo, content creation and marketing support services for everyday people, here in our city.
A bit of background - I've always loved the creative space. From after-school creative writing classes in primary, to media studies and musicals in high school; from designing Bebo skins for people in my early teens (IYKYK), to studying digital media in my mid-20's; from film blogs & amateur freelancing, to a five-year career in marketing - the creative space has always been where I've felt most like me.
Chelle Teo Creative was the natural next step. It's the amalgamation of my creative background, the skills and experience gained over the course of my working career and the wonderful connections I've made over the past 10+ years. Best of all, it's my opportunity to give back - to use what I love doing to support local, collaborate with friends and fellow creatives and contribute to projects & events that make a difference - and make people happy. 😊
