Eunice & Robbie
Winter nights in Queenstown have their own quiet magic. Eunice & Robbie’s elopement felt like stepping into that dream. With 3 stops, we started at Eichardts in Queenstown lake front. The light starting to soften and shimmer on Lake Whakatipu, creating a gorgeous back drop for their wedding photos. WE made our way to Jack’s Point for the last of that golden light before it hid behind the mountains, before taking the helicopter to Cecil Peak. The views feel endless as the sun dips low.
Eunice & Robbie’s elopement was a perfect mix of adventure and intimacy, with quiet moments, laughter, and the kind of candid joy that glows through every frame. As a Queenstown wedding photographer, it’s days like this that remind me why these landscapes are some of the most unforgettable places to say “I do.”

JACKS POINT & CECIL PEAK ELOPEMENT
Melissa is absolutely outstanding! My now husband and I are from California and we decided to elope in New Zealand. We knew nearly nothing about New Zealand before we went but found Melissa online and hired her to plan and shoot our wedding. She helped us plan the absolute perfect day based on the vibe we described we were looking for. She absolutely nailed it! She arranged the perfect location for us at Coromandel Peak and also arranged our transportation (which included a helicopter ride), my hair/makeup, champagne toss, a perfect romantic post-wedding dinner, dessert, flowers, music, etc. She went above and beyond to make our day so special.
Melissa is so incredibly fun to be around and is fantastic at making you feel relaxed in front of the camera (of which we are naturally awkward). We found Melissa on Instagram and fell in love with her style of photography and editing. We really wanted a photographer that would capture the beautiful Queenstown landscape but also our love as well, and she did it better than we could have ever imagined.
We hired Melissa to photograph our elopement in the Queenstown area. She went far beyond our expectations and we couldn't be happier with the results. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone in the area looking for a photographer. She asked us to create a vision board on Pinterest so she could find the best locations for us, and she nailed it! She played the role of photographer, coordinator, Uber driver, and friend. We had the best elopement day because of her.
