Your Day, Your WayWānaka & Queenstown New Zealand Elopement Photographer
So you're thinking of an elopement?
What is an elopement?
Simply put, it's a wedding your way. Just the two of you, or a small handful of special people there to celebrate your commitment and love. Elopements can be as simple or as elaborate as you like, (hello, helicopter). It's all about what best suits the two of you. You can flag the seating charts and the three-course meal, no long speeches, and no uncle who always has something to say. It’s all up to you.
If you need an explanation for the older generation
An elopement is still a legal marriage. You still get the rings (well, actually that's up to you), there are still vows and certificate of marriage. You just skip the parts that were never really for you anyway.
“Natalia was absolutely incredible to work with on our elopement day and the photos turned out beautiful!
She was also just a joy to be around and definitely helped with the nerves”.
Harry + Emily
Why Wānaka or Queenstown?
Eloping doesn't have to mean extreme… but a beautiful location is never a bad idea. Wānaka, Queenstown and surrounding areas deliver on that front effortlessly.
Both are a hub for love stories. The vendors here are well versed in marriage ceremonies. So you're in good hands.
Then there's the landscape. Lake and mountain views in every direction, many stunning hiking tracks, and backdrops that look incredible in every season. Autumn brings golden leaves and winter gives you snow covered mountains. Take your pick.
And if you're dreaming even bigger. How about a mountaintop ceremony, a heli-wedding? Yes, let's talk about that too.
I'm here not just to photograph but to help plan your day, connect you with the right people, and make sure everything comes together so you can just show up and enjoy it.
The Holiday That Included Vows.
Wondering what an elopement day could look like?
Harry and Emily flew over from Australia with friends, added vows to their holiday itinerary, and got married at Bob's Cove on Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown.
