Love Story:

These two lovers have known each other since year 9 of High School. Amber would describe them as chalk and cheese in many ways and together they have built a fun-filled life with a balance of family adventures, outdoors and food trucks as well as staying in, playing Uno with their son Kaiden, watching their favourite shows and being themselves in their happy place at home.

Ceremony Location: Cecil Peak

On the Day:

It was their dream to travel to Queenstown all the way from their home in Perth and see snow for the first time on their wedding day. For a while, this was looking unlikely due to the travel restrictions and they were considering the option of a registry office. However, in the end, their dream came true! There was a huge dump of snow on Cecil peak the night before, which is a rare and special thing. 

The two of them got ready at Kamana Lakehouse in their suite which had a stunning view of the Remarkables and their own private spa. Amber looked like a beautiful mermaid in her stunning off-the-shoulder wedding gown, with her long auburn hair, that she had put in waves herself and added a hairpin of fresh flowers.

Nathan and Amber got married on Cecil Peak with their Celebrant Ellita Thomas. Afterwards, we took some photos and they had a ball playing in the snow for the first time ever, they had a snow fight and were surprised by the not-so-fluffy texture of it.

We then headed to Jack’s Point, where we captured some stunning shots in an open field with the snow-covered Remarkables right behind us before catching the last of the golden light down by the lake.
