MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

Hi, I'm Melissa, a wedding & elopement photographer based in the stunning mountain town of Queenstown, New Zealand. My heart lies in capturing those raw, intimate moments in nature’s most beautiful settings, and there’s nowhere quite like Queenstown for that perfect mix of rugged landscapes and romantic scenery. Whether it's an adventurous elopement on a mountaintop or a lakeside celebration, I’m here to capture the magic of your big day.

While Queenstown is my home and favorite playground, I do have family scattered across the globe, which means I’m no stranger to working in different locations. If you’re planning a destination wedding, be sure to check out my travel dates!

We were blown away by our wedding photos taken by Melissa. She truly captured the magic of our day. The thing we loved the most was her relaxed presence throughout the day. We were hardly aware that she was taking pictures which really put our wedding party and guests at ease. Melissa's photos were so beautiful, the local magazine snapped them up and made us the Wedding of the Week!! We can’t thank you enough Melissa xx

We just want to say a great big thank you to Melissa for going above, and beyond cannot express the level of work, she put into making our moment a dream come true. She was so supportive and made us feel so comfortable being in front of a camera as I’m quite camera shy so she really gave us great confidence and made it so enjoyable. We thoroughly enjoyed her presence and cannot agree enough that Melissa’s work is perfection. When we received our sneak peek photos. We were speechless, what a beautiful moment is was and every moment after she really made it so beautiful her Work is MAGIC

We were so lucky to have Melissa photograph our wedding. She was a dream to have around and managed to strike a perfect balance where the day never felt like it was interrupted for a photoshoot, yet she still managed to capture sooo many incredible shots. She went above and beyond for us and we are truly grateful for her energy, talent and generosity. It will be a pleasure to look at her photos for many years to come!

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 played the role of photographer, coordinator, Uber driver, and friend. We had the best elopement day because of her.
