I’m Lucy, your photographer & elopement planner
Your travel advisor, bird fact spreader, and award-winning elopement photographer here in NZ
I fell in love with New Zealand in 2014. Now this dreamy country is my home, and I love nothing more than sharing my favorite spots with you. I’ve photographed elopements in the wilderness over the last 16 years, but I will warn you – I will inexplicably show up with cat hair on my pants. I was homeschooled so I am dorky and proud of it.
- I’ve been all over New Zealand and live here, full time.
- Obviously I celebrate and serve all queer, lgbtqia+ and non-traditional couples, I am pan myself.
- I’m Wilderness first ad certified and come prepared for any backcountry adventure
- Top notch road trip planner for people who want to see it all
- I love hiking, but don’t require you to hike in order to elope.

Here’s how I plan YOUR daY
FIRST, CONTACT ME! I’m an actual (dorky) human
Contact me and we’ll hop on our first, no-commitment planning call. I’ll show you the ropes and answer all your questions, and my cats will probably interrupt. You don’t need to have anything figured out yet – I’ll line up a custom list of location options for you so that you can instantly connect with the right one for you.
BOOK ME
Because I’m formerly American, I accept both USD and NZD easily. After a $2000 retainer, you’re booked and we are in CAHOOTS. I’ll recommend everything: from where to stay and who to hire and how to get there. I create a unique blueprint for your day that reflects your goals and desires. Up for sunrise? I’m there. Want to sleep in? Yes please. Cross “planning” off your list.
ELOPE
Time to grab life by the horns and get married the way you have always dreamed – just you and your partner and epic photos of the entire experience.
GET IT ALL
A full gallery of the little moments and the big moments that you get to download, share, and print to your little heart’s content. No download fees or expiring galleries.
Purchasing a physical album is optional.
I pride myself on..
- Capturing the real unplanned moments that make up the majority of your day. So you can be transported back to what your day felt like.
- Great communication. You will always hear back from me promptly.
- Gallery delivery. In my 16 years of business (holy shit), 100% of my galleries have been delivered on time – within 60 days.
- Getting the best damn photos of you that have ever been taken and sending a buttload of sneak peeks right away.
- Being my weird little self so you can feel comfortable being your little weird self too.
