Ashley and Bryan decided to elope here in little ol' New Zealand. They came all the way from sunny California and choose to get married under Mt Ruapehu and had their first dance under Mt Doom (or Ngauruhoe for us locals). They said that the food here tastes extra amazing and the locals are super friendly. Ashley and Bryan bought both their outfits with them all the way from the states, thats dedication. I love their timeless style.
They are super adventurous and we ventured to mountain tops, found hidden waterfalls and got lost in the forest. Elopements offer an incredible amount of freedom to explore and immerse oneself in the surroundings, allowing for the creation of stunning imagery without the constraints of a traditional wedding timeline. I typically book out the entire day for such occasions, which gives us ample time to chase the golden light across the stunning landscapes of our beautiful country, ensuring that every moment is captured in its full glory.
