Big news from the Moose — Happy Moose has new owners. We’ve joined MEA, a team we’ve worked with for years and who value the same things we do: beautiful prints, careful craft and making sure your photos look amazing. The important part is simple — everything you love about our high quality photo printing in NZ stays exactly the same.
What this means for you
Your prints are still made in our Dunedin studio by the same team, using the same archival papers and colour processes you already trust. You can continue to order your favourite products — including collage posters and photo books made in NZ — just as you always have.
- Same Dunedin studio. Every order is still produced locally.
- Same team. The makers, colour specialists and finishers you know are all still here.
- Same quality. True-to-life colour, archival papers and a handcrafted finish.
- Same products. Nothing disappears or changes unexpectedly.
So why new owners?
MEA supports us behind the scenes. They help improve the website, speed up development, and give us room to grow our product range over time. They’re the kind of team who say “keep doing what you do — let us help you do even more of it.”
This means:
- A smoother online ordering experience coming soon
- New product ideas become easier to launch
- More capacity during busy seasons
- More ways to bring your photos to life
And yes — Monty is still here, triple-checking your prints.
You may have seen the news elsewhere
The acquisition has also been covered by imaging and tech publications such as Photo Imaging News, TechDay and The Dead Pixel Society. It’s not every day a New Zealand print studio gets international attention — we’re pretty chuffed about it.

Thanks for supporting a small NZ print studio with a big heart (and antlers). We’re excited for what’s ahead — and we’re here, as always, to print your favourite moments beautifully.
