Your Love Story, Beautifully Told

Cinematic photography and film that capture the emotion, intimacy, and wild beauty of your elopement day.

Not just photos. Not just video.

This is how your story will feel forever

I capture elopements in a way that feels natural, unposed, and deeply personal. From windswept mountaintops to quiet lakeside vows, every moment is documented with intention—so you can relive it exactly as it was.

No awkward posing. No pressure.

Just real connection, real emotion, and the magic of your day.

As an elopement photographer in Central Otago, I work in the landscapes every day, the mountains, lakes, and golden tussock that make this part of New Zealand unlike anywhere else. That local knowledge shapes every shoot.

As a wedding videographer in Central Otago, I film everything, your vows, the landscape, the quiet in-between moments, and turn it into a short film you'll actually watch again.

My Style

Emotive - Cinematic - Honest

I focus on:

The in-between moments

The way you look at each other

The feeling of the day, not just how it looked

Think windswept hair, laughter, quiet tears, and those “just us” moments you didn’t realise were happening.

A bride and groom standing close together on snow-covered mountainscape, the bride wearing a white gown and veil, and the groom in a black suit with a white shirt, holding a bouquet of flowers.
A couple dressed in wedding attire sharing a tender moment outdoors among trees, with the man leaning his forehead against the woman's, both smiling warmly.
A couple is standing near a flower shop, gazing at each other. The woman is holding a large bouquet of flowers, dressed in a white dress, and the man wears a light shirt and a straw hat. Bright red flowers are in planters nearby, and the scene has a rustic, garden setting.
A bride and groom kissing outdoors in a landscape with mountains in the background and a partly cloudy sky.
A happy couple outdoors in a green field, smiling at each other, with mountains in the background. The woman is holding a bouquet of white and purple flowers, and the man is wearing a necklace with a pendant.

Why Elopements are Different

Elopements aren’t about timelines and traditions.

They’re about freedom.

That’s why I:

  • Build your timeline around light (sunrise/sunset magic)

  • Help you feel comfortable in front of the camera

  • Capture both the adventure and the intimacy

  • Blend into your day—never take it over
