Plan the most epic New Zealand elopement adventure!

An elopement is an incredibly special intimate moment with the person you want to spend forever with. You can let your imagination run wild! Whether it's:

 

  • On top of a mountain only accessible by Helicopter 

  • Next to a Picturesque New Zealand Lake   surrounded by snow-covered mountains

  • Underneath the Milky Way surrounded by billions of stars.

Whatever your vision we are so keen to make it happen and capture all the special moments as they unfold! Lake Tekapo, Twizel & Mt Cook are some of the ultimate places to elope in New Zealand!

Why Elope?

If you’re here, you might be the type of person who spends their weekends gardening, accompanied by a hike on a beautiful trail. Camping trips with your partner exploring new places. You’d pick being under the stars with those closest to you, than a big party with heaps of people. It’s always been quality over quantity, and you want your wedding to feel the same way. I bet the idea of a big traditional wedding makes you want to run for the hills. Eloping can give you the personalized experienced you have always dreamed of with the ability to prioritize the desires of you and your partner with the most epic adventure possible!

We get it – wanting something different but not being quite sure how to make it happen. Eloping crossed your mind because you don't want all the stresses of a big wedding, but now planning it feels like such a performance! You might be asking yourself:
 

  • How do we even choose where to elope?

  • Are elopements all-day events? What should our timeline look like?

  • How do we create meaningful memories and experiences while keeping our elopement simple and intimate?

  • How do we coordinate a day that feels authentically 'us' without months of planning stress?​

KIND WORDS

We were so blessed to have Matt and Amy document our wedding in March 2025. They were awesome from the get-go and were incredibly helpful with piecing together our timeline and finding some epic photo spots. We had the most fun-filled, stress-free day with them. They work very well as a team and have an incredible eye for detail with such a creative lens. Amy delivered the most beautiful photos, we were blown away by how we looked and the incorporation of nature and scenery. We have been watching our wedding video on repeat. Matt did the most spectacular job capturing the emotion, fun and love on the day in a cinematic masterpiece. We could not recommend Matt and Amy enough to anyone getting married!

We’re not just elopement photographers — we also offer cinematic video coverage for your elopement! We believe your elopement deserves to be documented in a way you can relive for a lifetime.

Photography beautifully preserves your day in timeless images you can print and treasure forever, and video brings a whole new layer of storytelling — letting you hear the vows you spoke, the laughter you shared, and even the sounds of the place you chose to say “I do.”

Video is also the perfect way to share your elopement with friends and family who couldn’t be there in person. Our elopement films are 3–5 minutes long and include your vows, paired with licensed cinematic music, to tell your love story in a heartfelt, memorable way.

So why choose between the two? Have us as your photo + video team and get the best of both worlds!
