Australia & New Zealand Elopement Photographer & Planner

Hand-Crafted Elopements for couples who follow their hearts (and not the crowd)

It’s time to let go of striving to fit in to the traditional narrative of what you’ve been told your Wedding Day is supposed to look like. Instead, let us explore together a unique celebration that transcends the ordinary!

You’re probably here because you and your lover have decided to reclaim your love story with an Elopement, or Intimate Wedding experience. Choosing to be fully present and connected in the moment, allowing the world to fall away as you promise forever to each other. You want to be surrounded by the people you truly cherish as you embark on this new adventure together. You want your people to show up for you, as you show up for each other – to laugh with you, to cry with you, and to be as equally invested in the vows you exchange. You are looking for a photographer who will truly honour this season of your journey. Someone who will be beside you every step of the way, helping you craft and capture a day that feels completely aligned to you and your two hearts.

I hear you, I see you, I feel you.

Allow me to gently guide you as we embark on this journey together and I will help you to:

👉🏽 let go of limiting expectations  of how your elopement day is supposed to look, and unpack  your hearts true desire for how you wish to celebrate your love!

👉🏽 intentionally guide you through each step of the journey so that you can actually enjoy the planning process and feel truly excited about your wedding experience!

👉🏽 curate an entirely unique-to-you elopement day that resonates with you as a couple, so that you can completely immerse yourselves in the moment you say “I-Do”

two souls colliding, uniting as one, this is love…

I can't even begin to explain how amazing Nikita is... Nikita takes so much care and time to get to know you that it feels like you're planning your wedding with a best friend who has known you a lifetime. She constantly reminds you to soak it all in as it comes because like everyone says it goes by so quickly. I honestly couldn't imagine having anyone else help us create a more magical day. Not many people can look back at their wedding and say they wouldn't change a thing but we can and I truly believe that is thanks to Nikitas dedication to make our dream come true. Nikita made the experience so enjoyable that I'm going to miss talking to her all the time.

I have never felt so empowered and confident from how Nikita guided us through these moments. She asked us to close our eyes and feel the wairua (spirit) of those whanau (family) who have passed on as well of the whose land we stand on and I felt this massive wave of mana (pride) come through me. We channelled that energy in to our photos. It was more than photos for us it was history in the making. These moments captured are for our babies to look on and know that our journey of cultural discovery was for them!

We both felt a bit emotional seeing the photos. You captured each and every special moment in the most amazing pictures on our wedding day. And no less importantly, you are the most wonderful, kind, and fun person - we are so lucky to have had you!

Nikita is an AMAZING Makeup Artist AND Photographer! Nikita joined us in Queenstown for our wedding on Coromandel Peak at about five minutes notice and was fabulous! We were lucky enough to book a multi-day package and had two sessions with Nikita prior to our wedding day. Our whole family loved Nikita so much, and she just has a way of making everyone feel comfortable and relaxed and that truly shows in all of our photos. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I look back at our photos at least once a week and fall in love with them a little more each time.

I am a proud Ngati Pikiao + Ngapuhi woman who grew up on Darumbal Country (Central Queensland) here in Australia. I deeply understand the significance of the profound spiritual connection that certain cultures and people have to the land and our Earth Mother🌿 Whether you have an intrinsic spiritual connection to the land that you are marrying on, or you just feel connected to that land and space - allow me to honour that connection by capturing it (and you) in its most raw and pure form.
