Imagine a day fully planned your way...
From start to finish your day includes elements highlighting your love story, sightseeing some of the most iconic landscapes in New Zealand, no rushing, completely present in the moment together!
An adventure that could look like this:
The Kiwi Experience
- Christchurch airport arrival (I meet you there and take you to your B&B in wine country - Waipara)
- Then we road trip to Tekapo for your adventure session in between the fields of lupins and stargazing portraits in New Zealand's clearest Milky Way view locations
- Day One: We wake up at dawn road tripping to Pukaki Lake with the clearest view of Mt.Cook for your Private Vows followed by an easy hike to the Tasman Glacier with plenty of time for a glacier picnic and celebratory bubble pop before making our way to Queenstown in time for dinner at the famous Ferg Burger (New Zealand's best burgers!)
- Day Two: With time for breakfast in bed we start our off the beaten track road trip for the day to Moke Lake followed by time spent in Glenorchy exploring the lakes and rivers before heading back to Queenstown for a classic Kiwi dinner of Fish and Chips!
Sounds unforgettable right?

Thank you again Chaznel 😍 you were amazing to work with, we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our elopement in tekapo and photos around lake Pukaki- you really did find the best locations for us which were private and so beautiful.
Chaznel was incredibly professional while also being so easy to get along with, which made us feel completely at ease throughout the day. We found the balance between natural shots, enjoying the moment and the gentle directions really good and made us feel super comfortable and made for some epic photographs that we love.
She listened to our ideas of what we were hoping for and combined them with her artistic eye, resulting in photos that perfectly reflect the joy and intimacy of our special day ❤️❤️
If you're looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also genuinely invested in making your memories unforgettable, we highly recommend Chaznel Photography. Thank you, Chaznel, for giving us such beautiful keepsakes to cherish forever!

Our experiences with Chaznel have been amazing every single time. She makes you feel so comfortable and at ease and the photos look so incredible and natural.
Definitely choose Chaznel when deciding on your elopement photographer as she has the best locations to take you too and knows exactly how to plan out the day to get the best results whilst also incorporating your wishes for the day. Could not recommend Chaznel highly enough!

2 - The Call
Before we confirm your date, we'll jump on a zoom call so the three of us can meet (you, your partner and myself). It may sound unnecessary but I promise this is the best way for us to meet and see if we are a good fit so your day can go off without a hitch! It won't be super long and we can fit the call into your schedule (I totally get how busy life can be)!
3 - Secure your Date & Start Planning
After our call we can go ahead and confirm your date for your elopement, yay! This is when the fun begins, planning! Bringing those dreams to life and creating a unique day perfect for the two of you. I will send through a questionnaire and start the location scouting process. I'll help guide you through every step of the way taking out all the guess work and making this process as streamline as possible!
Remember I'll be here 24/7 so you never have to feel like you've been left in the dark!

5 - The Day After
Still reminiscing over your day you'll find 50 gorgeous sneak peeks images in your inbox the day after your elopement ready for you to share with family and friends!
This is one of my favourite parts of the process, I literally get so excited to share your photos with you after having spent the best day adventuring together!

I only take on a limited amount of elopement each season ensuring that you'll have my fullest attention which means in a short 4 weeks you'll have your beautiful final gallery ready for you to relive your day all over again! You'll be able to download (high resolution and web-sized images), share with family and friends and print all in one place.

FAQ's
FAQ's
Absolutely you can! I always suggest no more than 10 guests to keep it nice and intimate, or just the two of you. If you are choosing to invite guests the best package would be the Full Day allowing for plenty of time to celebrate with friends and family as well as time to adventure, just the two of you!
This is my favourite part about the after adventure process, the sneak peeks! Within 24 hours of your elopement you'll have a beautiful sneak peek gallery to enjoy and share. Then your final gallery will be waiting in your inbox within 2-4 weeks!
I absolutely love New Zealand and all the different landscapes and scenery you get within a few hours worth of travelling, but my top three regions would be Canterbury, Mackenzie Region and Otago in the South Island, offering a variety of mountains, waterfalls, lakes, forrest and wildlife all within a few hours drive from each other.
It's totally up to you! You can choose to wear clothing that you feel comfortable in for the walk/s and get changed into your wedding gear at the ceremony location or you could even do 2/3 outfit changes during the day. it's your day and the most important thing is that you feel GREAT and COMFORTABLE!
P.s. suitable footwear is always recommended for your adventures, you can always pop those sparkly heels on when we arrive on location!
This is YOUR elopement, so it's totally up to you! We can plan for locations and activities that suit the two of you and what you feel comfortable with! I myself love small walks and mini hikes, allowing for more time to enjoy the final destination and also means you tend to be a little less tired!
I always open my calendar a year in advance but recommend anywhere between 6-12 months ahead of your ideal date is best, that way we can spend the best amount of time planning and scouting your EPIC elopement locations and adventures!
My honest opinion is to embrace the rain! Rain just adds to your elopement story and makes for absolute fun and amazing photos! If you're game, then so am I!
Heck yes they are! I loveeee dogs, I have three collies myself. I'll guide you on the best dog friendly locations for your elopement!
I like to mix galleries with a range of candid and prompted images... allowing for those classic looking at the camera images to lightly be sprinkled throughout with the candid's telling the authentic story of how your day unfolds.
