The Most Beautiful Winter Elopement – Queenstown, New Zealand

Amber + Joeseph

Love Story:

How sweet is this; Joe applied for a job at the venue where Amber worked out. Amber interviewed him and he got the job and her heart all on the same day!

Now they have created a beautiful life together with their beloved dog Bubba who is a very special part of their world. Time spent together usually involves hanging out with Bubba and finding new cafes together, for their morning coffee. They love travelling to explore new cities and countries together, as well as bike rides, camping, shopping, working out together and watching movies (although Amber doesn’t always love Joe’s picks!).

On the Day:

Joe and Amber had travelled from Australia for their big day, which they have chosen to be on their darling dog Bubba’s 2nd birthday, so of course, they enjoyed a Birthday Cake for Bubba! Amber was also 25 weeks pregnant and needed to make some alterations to her dress, which she looks absolutely stunning in. They got ready at their gorgeous Airbnb in Dalefield, which looked out over the Remarkables. We arranged a first look and then they exchanged gifts and read letters from their families together.

Then we headed to Jack’s Point for the ceremony, where we met celebrant Phillipa Thomas and an arch was set up in the field with beautiful florals by The Flower Room. The ceremony took place in the field, under the arch, with the snow-covered Remarkables behind them.

After the Ceremony and a few photos, we flew via Helicopter to Cecil Peak, where it was actually snowing which was very special as Amber and Joe had never seen snow before. It was cold but so beautiful as the snow fell on them. We took some gorgeous couples photos, Joe enjoyed a little champagne and they couldn’t resist a snow fight before jumping back in the Helicopter.
