IT OFFICIAL
Hey lovebirds, you're HERE!
Elopements aren’t just smaller weddings, they’re a whole different way of doing things. No rules, no expectations, just the two of you choosing something that actually feels right.
And while that sounds simple, there’s usually a bit more that goes into it than couples expect. Finding the right spot, figuring out the timing, making sure everything flows without feeling rushed… it all matters.
That’s where I come in.
Being based in Hawke’s Bay, I know just how underrated this place is. From coastal cliffs to quiet vineyards and hidden pockets you wouldn’t find on Google, there’s so much potential here. And if we really want to take things up a notch, we’ve got access to helicopters that can get us somewhere pretty unforgettable.
Whether you’re staying local or heading somewhere across the world, I’m there to help you shape a day that feels easy, intentional, and completely you. I’ll guide you through the ideas, the locations, and all the little details, while keeping things relaxed and actually enjoyable along the way.
Because at the end of it, it’s not just about the photos, it’s about creating something you’ll look back on and think… yeah, that was so us.

ANGELIQUE + DREW
Thank you for your creativity, dedication, and for making this experience so memorable. I can't recommend you enough to anyone looking for a talented and passionate photographer! God bless!
Georgia + Liam
She was super easy to communicate with throughout the whole process, always quick at getting back to me. On the day we felt at ease as she was super organised and captured all our requested photos. We were over the moon viewing our photos, we loved them all and will cherish them forever
Patricia + Isac
Erin was kind enough to come all the way to the other side of the planet to photograph our wedding, and we couldn't be more happy with the result. She really captured the essence of that magical day so well. We can't wait to print and frame some of them but they're all so beautiful that it's impossible to choose, it's a shame that all 1.5 thousand of them can't fit on our walls.
Ran + Dane
Erin captured every moment so beautifully. She’s also incredibly friendly, easy to communicate with, and really looked after us throughout the day. So professional and even delivered our photos earlier than expected! I can’t recommend her enough
Abby + Christian
Erin made the whole thing run smoothly and on time, and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. We are so grateful to have all these special memories captured and she went above and beyond to capture beautiful moments. Everyone comments how much they love the photos and how good they are. Honestly couldn’t recommend anyone more than Erin to capture your special day!
Emily + Samuel
Erin was amazing to work with!! She did our engagement and wedding photos, and they are absolutely stunning! She listened to what was important to us and captured some incredible moments! Her advice for timelines was spot on! We loved working with her and highly recommend her to anybody looking for an incredible photographer!
Liv + Kirwan
She took on board everything we wanted and thought about what we didn't know to ask for. She made it a wonderful day of memories we will cherish forever in the photos she took . She is so skilled in capturing the perfect shots and over delivered in the amount of photos we were expecting. So grateful to you Erin

Elopement Photography FAQs
What exactly is an elopement?
Elopements aren’t just smaller weddings. They’re a more intentional way of getting married, without the pressure, expectations, or big timeline.
It can be just the two of you or a small group of your favourite people. The focus is on creating a day that feels right for you, and capturing it through natural elopement photography.
Where can we elope in New Zealand?
There are so many incredible spots, especially around Hawke’s Bay! Think coastal cliffs, quiet vineyards, and hidden locations you wouldn’t find on Google.
If you’re not sure where to start, I can suggest locations that fit what you're looking for, and help you find places that feel a bit more personal and less crowded.
Can you help us choose the best place to elope in Europe?
Absolutely. If you’re dreaming of a destination elopement, I can help you narrow down the best places to elope in Europe based on the kind of experience you want.
We’ll look at things like light, accessibility, and privacy, so it feels relaxed and not rushed.
Do you travel for elopement photography?
Yes. I’m a Hawke’s Bay based elopement photographer, but I travel across New Zealand and internationally for elopements.
Whether you’re planning something local or heading somewhere further away, I’m always up for the adventure!
What if we only want ceremony coverage and portraits?
No worries at all. If you’re planning something smaller or more intimate, we can tailor coverage to suit your plans. Tell me what matters most to you, and we’ll make it work.
Do you help us plan our elopement?
Yes, this is a big part of what I do!
From choosing locations to helping with your timeline, I’m there to guide you through it.
Whether you’re planning something local or a destination elopement in New Zealand or Europe, I’ll help you create a day that feels easy and well thought out.
