Another lap around the sun for our legend behind the lens!

If you’ve worked with us, you already know… Emmet is the calm in the chaos, the steady hand on shoot day, and the one who helps to make every single person feel more comfortable the second the camera comes out.

He’s grown up with a love of film, he’s the biggest gear geek I know, and he’s worked damn hard to create the way he does, at a level entirely his own.

And beyond all that?
He’s a loving dad to our two kiddos, a dedicated hubby, and a mighty fine BFF.

He’s a big part of the reason our clients look and feel like themselves on screen.
He’s the reason our edits land the way they do.
And he’s the reason Riddle Media even exists in the first place.

So today, we’re hitting pause to celebrate the man who’s usually making everyone else look good.

Happy Birthday, Emmet!
Wouldn’t want to build this wicked Welly biz with anyone else!

Come on team - drop some Birthday love below!

Another monthly content shoot wrapped with the legends at today ✅

From workshop action to Friday team banter and a bit of in-house training to round out the month! It’s these everyday, behind-the-scenes moments that really show who a crew is.

So good seeing the culture, the mahi and the humans behind it all. Northstar are such a fun and cohesive team, and this is the kind of content that actually tells the story 🙌🏻

Thanks for having us round yours today! Look forward to the next shoot! 🎬

Here’s just some of the good sorts we’ve been lucky to work with this year…

And honestly? What a crew to kick this little spotlight series off with.

We always say you attract the kind of clients who align with you. Hardworking, down-to-earth humans who genuinely care about the people they serve. These legends welcomed us into their world, backed themselves with video & photo content, and let us capture the real heart behind their business.

Here’s who we’re celebrating first:
📸 Talesha + Ryan .overland &
The ultimate duo keeping Wellington rolling! Through Action Tyres, they look after everything from family cars to 4x4s, commercial fleets and heavy machinery — tyres, alignments, puncture repairs, the works.
And then there’s Action Overland, their adventure-filled side of the business, kitting out off-road rigs and bringing together a community of people who love exploring our backyard.
📸 Dhillon
Such an awesome & quality focused expert in the industry, leading a solid team keeping Wellington builds safe and moving! Scaffolding, wraps, the works — done right, done safely, & done with precision & care.
📸 Susan + Digby
Builders with soul. These two & their crew honour the character of Wellington homes while weaving in the new. Craftsmanship, communication and genuine care, that’s their whole vibe.
📸 Stu — Pro Waterblasting Porirua & Kapiti Coast
The guy who makes everything look brand new again. Reliable, meticulous, and just an all-round top human. Houses, roofs, driveways… he brings the shine back.

These are the types of business owners who show up, work hard, treat people well, and make Wellington better in their own unique way.

We’re grateful they chose to work with us in 2025 so they could show up loud and proud, and if you ever choose to work with any of them, just know you are in very, very safe hands.

Keep an eye out for more local legends coming your way soon!

If you don’t prioritise your content… no one else will.
And honestly? That’s why so many small businesses stay stuck.

Content is the first thing to fall to the bottom of the to-do list...
Because you’re busy, you’re wearing 18 hats, and you’re just trying to get through the week.
But also because of the sneaky stuff that gets in the way:

✨ “I don’t know where to start.”
✨ “I hate seeing myself on camera.”
✨ “Who am I to show up online?”
✨ “It’s not perfect yet.”
✨ “I’ll do it when things slow down.” (spoiler: they won’t)
✨ “No one wants to hear from me.”

But here’s the thing… your business needs you to show up.
Visibility builds familiarity.
Familiarity builds trust.
And trust is what drives clients to choose YOU.

This is exactly why we do what we do.
At Riddle Media we’re here to support you end to end:

👉 Content strategy sessions that make your ideas feel doable
👉 Monthly shoots that give you an actual bank of content (not just good intentions)
👉 Compiled BTS clips, Reels, stills, and B-roll that make showing up consistent and EASY
👉 A creative partner who gets what you’re trying to build and helps you actually show people!

You don’t need to do it all alone.
You just need to stop pushing your content to “later” and let us help you make it happen.

If you want 2026 to look different, it starts with taking that first step.
Connect with us! And let's chat through just how easy, fun & painless crafting great content for your business can really be!
