Rebecca and Paul’s elopement was nothing short of magical. We started the evening at Jacks Point with the most perfect golden light, casting a warm glow over everything. The mountains around us were grand, standing tall and majestic, making the ideal backdrop for this gorgeous couple.

It was an intimate mountain elopement, just the two of them, exchanging heartfelt vows in front of The Remarkables. The rugged landscape gave their ceremony a timeless feel, and every shot we took seemed like it belonged in a romance movie. As a Queenstown wedding photographer, these are the moments I live for—capturing love in its purest form surrounded by breathtaking scenery.

After their ceremony, we didn't head to a fancy reception venue. Nope, Rebecca and Paul wanted to do something totally unique and totally them. We ended the night at McDonald’s! Yes, you read that right. They shared their first burger as a married couple and toasted with a bottle of Moet. It was such a perfect blend of elegance and everyday joy, reflecting their down-to-earth and fun-loving personalities.

This day is a prime example of why a Queenstown elopement is such an amazing idea. The stunning natural scenery provides an unparalleled backdrop, making every moment feel epic. And the intimacy of it all lets you focus entirely on each other and your love story.

Capturing these moments is what I love most about being a Queenstown photographer. With Rebecca and Paul, it wasn’t just about taking beautiful photos. It was about telling their story through images that reflect their unique bond and the breathtaking environment they chose. The golden light, the grand mountains, and their candid moments of joy all came together to create a gallery that speaks volumes.

If you’re dreaming of a wedding that’s as unique and beautiful as your love story, a Queenstown elopement might be perfect for you. Whether you envision an intimate mountain ceremony or a quirky celebration that ends with burgers and champagne, I’m here to make sure your day is captured perfectly. Let the stunning landscapes of Queenstown and my relaxed, professional approach create memories you’ll cherish forever.
