Wanaka Lakeside Elopement

Georgie and Jarrod, a local Wanaka couple, celebrated their dream elopement at a secret lakeside location on the shores of Lake Wānaka, a place they cherish and visit daily with their beloved dog. Their intimate wedding day began at their family home, where they got ready for the special occasion surrounded by their closest friends and family. Georgie looked stunning in a wedding dress by Yolancris Bridal, with hair styled by Mikaela Campbell and makeup by Anna King from King Nails & Beauty.

The bright Summer’s day provided the perfect backdrop for their Wanaka lakeside elopement, with clear skies and the sparkling waters of Lake Wānaka adding to the beauty of their wedding photography. Ellita Marianne, their wedding celebrant, guided them through a heartfelt ceremony in this serene and picturesque setting.

After the ceremony, the couple cooled off with a playful paddle in the lake, capturing fun and candid shots that perfectly reflected their wild love for each other. This unforgettable Wanaka elopement showcases why this region is ideal for couples planning a wedding or seeking elopement photography in Queenstown and Wanaka. The stunning landscapes, intimate settings, and local expertise make Wanaka a dream destination for elopement planning and wedding photography.
