In the shadow of Mount Cook’s majestic peaks, love finds its purest echo, a blissful sanctuary where hearts unite with the splendor of nature as their only witness. Here, amidst whispering winds and soaring heights, every vow is amplified by the mountain’s timeless grace, crafting a moment of unparalleled intimacy and adventure. The mountains stand as guardians of your love, offering a backdrop so breathtaking, it seems painted by the very essence of romance itself. Eloping here is to weave your story into the tapestry of the wild, where every step, every glance, is a testament to a love as grand and enduring as the peaks themselves.

Caroline + Ashley’s elopement in Mount Cook was extraordinary. The darkness of the clouds holding close to the valley and slowly drifting away to show it’s bright blue sky above. Mother nature was putting on a show as bold as these two. C + A’s love for each other is infectious. Their love is so big they couldn’t imagine eloping anywhere else but here, just them two. With nothing but the sound of nature, C + A exchanged vows to each other – laughing, crying and holding each other close. As I helped capture this special moment, my heart couldn’t help but feel SO full for the both of them.

Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park is a breathtaking gem tucked away in New Zealand, home to the country’s tallest mountains and longest glaciers. It’s like stepping into an epic landscape painting, where the dramatic peaks meet the sky, creating a serene and majestic backdrop for your special day. Eloping here means exchanging vows amidst nature’s grandeur, with intimate spots scattered throughout the park that offer privacy and unparalleled beauty. Whether it’s by a glacial lake reflecting the towering mountains or in a wildflower meadow under the vast, starry sky, each moment feels like it’s crafted just for the two of you. Choosing Aoraki/Mount Cook for your elopement isn’t just about the stunning photos—it’s about starting your journey together in a place that’s as magical and unique as your relationship.

I feel so fortunate to have Aoraki/Mount Cook as a backyard gem. I can literally see Mount Cooks shining peak while I take my pup for a walk! Visiting the national park is ALWAYS a pleasure and I look forward to it more than my couples will ever know.

Here are just a handful of my favourite images from the C + A’s elopement in Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park.
