Elopement inspiration with Will and Gee in New Zealand

This inspiration session with Will and Gee took us into the remarkable landscape of New Zealand’s South Island. The scale of the mountains and the changing light made it an unforgettable place to work.

Gee wore a dress by Brooke Tyson, and both brought warmth and patience to a cold day. These photographs are a record of that shoot, rather than a suggested route or access guide for another couple.

For a new celebration, arrange permissions and choose locations that suit the conditions and the people involved. A dramatic photograph does not need to involve standing near an exposed edge.

My friend Nathan Kaso made a beautiful film of the session.
