Akaroa Waterfall Elopement

L + M got ready at their home and together we headed to Akaroa for their elopement day. We started off with a small hike to the Akaroa waterfall where together they sat and wrote their vows. While sharing their vows with nothing but the rushing waterfall and fluttering fantails as their witness they could enjoy their peaceful moment. 

The day was full of adventure from a bubbly pop at the lighthouse (where L proposed to M), awesome views, a stroll along the lakeside as we waited for their stone oven Italian pizza, feeding each other cake at a secluded pier and finishing the day off watching the sunset and reading letters from their family, they had the best day of their lives!

Akaroa Roadtrip Adventure

North Canterbury + Kaikoura

East Coastal Elopement

S + L prepared for their day in their home in Amberley without seeing each other and made their way to their first location for the day with the rolling hills of North Canterbury overlooking the ocean. They shared their beautiful first look with a breathtaking view before they shared their private vows. 

Together we then made our way to Kaikoura for a picnic lunch along the wild coast, being joined by some seals and their pups. What an experience! 

To finish off we made our way back towards Amberley and spent the rest of the day at an off-roading coastal beach. They shared cake, some bubbly and spent time together taking in their special day watching the sun turn to that gorgeous golden glow.
