Our Commitment
At Wanaka Studio, we are dedicated to redefining excellence in professional photography equipment rentals. We prioritize reliability, transparency, and exceptional customer experiences, constantly refining our services to support the creative vision of photographers and filmmakers.
Who We Are and What We Do
Genesis and Development
Founded in 2012, Wanaka Studio was born from a passion for supporting visual storytellers. We recognized the challenges artists face in accessing high-quality, affordable gear—and built a solution. Today, our curated inventory and intuitive digital platform serve photographers and content creators across the United States, offering same-day delivery in major metro areas and a seamless rental experience from browse to return.
Solving Real-world Problems
We didn’t just open another rental shop—we reimagined it. Wanaka Studio was designed to eliminate the friction photographers often face:
Fragmented Supply Sources
We aggregate thousands of top-tier cameras, lenses, lighting, and accessories into one easy-to-navigate platform.
Unreliable Equipment Availability
Our real-time tracking and reservation system helps ensure the gear you need is ready when you are.
Complex Logistics
We offer flexible pick-up, delivery, and shipping options so you can focus on shooting—not scheduling.
Built Around You
At the heart of Wanaka Studio is a simple idea: empowering creatives. Everything we do—from our gear maintenance standards to our customer support—revolves around you. That’s the meaning behind our motto: Built around you®. It’s more than a tagline; it’s our promise to listen, adapt, and support each client’s unique journey.
