Tailored wedding & elopement photography by Melissa Clark

Your wedding isn’t just a day, it’s a collection of fleeting moments you’ll want to relive for a lifetime. As your Queenstown wedding photographer, I’m here to capture it all; the quiet glances, the roar of laughter, the tears you didn’t expect, and the joy that lingers long after the music fades.

I believe the magic lies in the in-between, those unscripted memories that feel like you. By blending the nostalgic beauty of film with the crisp clarity of digital, I create images that are both timeless and artful: a perfect reflection of your story.

Because memories aren’t posed — they’re felt.

Your wedding photos are more than images, they’re the memories you’ll carry for a lifetime. Each collection is thoughtfully designed to capture your story with the care it deserves. To give you an idea, my starting rates are below, with full custom proposals available upon inquiry.

From the butterflies just before you say “I do,” to the laughter that echoes through your reception and the unexpected tears when it all sinks in. These are the fleeting moments that tell the heart of your story. I capture them with a gentle, artful approach so you can return to the feeling of your day for a lifetime. These are the moments that become your legacy, and my collections are designed to preserve them with care.

Wedding coverage begins at $4,000 NZD, elopements start from $1,500 NZD, and pre-wedding or engagement sessions from $750 NZD. Every celebration is different, and full proposals are available upon inquiry so your photography experience feels as thoughtfully tailored as your day itself.

where connection comes first.

This isn’t just about logistics, it’s about connection. I want to know what matters most to you so your images reflect how your day feels, not just how it looks. Every couple is unique, and this process ensures your photography is as intentional and meaningful as the day itself.

step by step

Step 1: Reach Out

Start by filling out my contact form with your date and the service you’re dreaming of. I’ll share my availability, starting prices, and a link to schedule a time to connect.

Step 2: let's connect

We’ll chat over Zoom, WhatsApp, or in person if you’re local. Think of it as a relaxed first meeting — a chance to get to know each other, ask questions, and make sure we’re the right fit for your celebration.

Step 3: secure your date

When you’re ready to move forward, I’ll send over a contract and a 20% deposit invoice to reserve your day. You’ll also receive a thoughtful questionnaire so I can understand your vision and begin planning how to capture it.
