Wanaka Wedding Photography + Info
Photo stories from Wanaka
Lake Wanaka. We’re fortunate enough to call this place home. With the rugged snow-capped mountains and an epic lake, Wanaka wedding photography should be making your short-list when beginning to plan your wedding or elopement. A sleepy alpine town that slips under the radar more from Queenstown, yet offers equally powerful landscapes. There’s an incredible range of wedding venues including everything from wineries to woolsheds. For smaller weddings and elopements, the summit of a mountain via helicopter isn’t out of the question. Often as a wedding is a once in a lifetime event, saying your vows while overlooking Lake Wanaka from Coromandel Peak or up the Matukituki Valley from Alta Tarns makes for a pretty unforgettable experience.
The seasons here are very polar, from beautiful 30º+ days in the summer to raw -10º snow weddings in the winter. Even more so when you’re up in the mountain. Planning a wedding here definitely pays having some local knowledge. There’s a great network of wedding venues and vendors in Wanaka that are world-class at what they do, yet humble enough to let you in on some pointers from years of experience in the area. Check out the resource list on this page for further info.
In the Wanaka region, I photograph wedding stories, elopements, pre-wedding sessions and couples sessions. Although the duration and preparation of these shoots varies largely, the approach and formula is the same. I’ll shoot in a way that fits into your day, nice and relaxed, anticipating those unscripted moments and piecing together your story. Below is a collection of my Wanaka wedding photography, if the images you see resonate with you and you’re after a similar photo experience, then let’s grab a coffee or a beer and have a chat.
