New Zealand Elopement Adventures
A small team of passionate kiwis capturing joy, light and love in the beautiful and rugged South Island of New Zealand.
Over the years, we’ve became passionate about bringing together the top local suppliers to make sure our couples have the best day possible, while we capture some pretty unique and special photos. We’re here to help create your dream Queenstown elopement or intimate wedding in one of the most beautiful destinations in the world.
We are big lovers of light and would love to plan your wedding adventure with the best possible conditions to get those “wow” shots. Most of our weddings take place late in the day and make the most of golden hour.

Kind Words
Madison + Logan
Our elopement still feels like a dream and our pictures turned out AMAZING! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience from start to finish. Steph & Warren took care of everything for us and we really felt like we were in good hands throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, we felt as if we were with friends! Steph really knew how to make us laugh and feel as comfortable as possible throughout the day. We have so many fun memories and hundreds of amazing photos to hold on to. We are so happy with our decision to book with Mountain Weddings. Please do yourself a favour and get in touch with them. You will be SO glad that you did!
