Creating once in a lifetime multi-day all-inclusive elopement adventures that takes care of all the details so you can enjoy being chauffeured around and sightseeing!
it's more than just a wedding day!
To me your trip is more than just the elopement day, its about the trip as a whole.

"We wouldn’t have changed a single thing and have no regrets whatsoever."
"Chaznel made our elopement so special, and we are so happy with our decision to elope to New Zealand through her! We wouldn’t have changed a single thing and have no regrets whatsoever. It was truly the best time of our life."
- Brian + Hannah, 6 Day Multi-day Elopement
Your tour guide, photographer and chauffeur
I'm a New Zealand local and I love sharing my beautiful home country with couples from all over the world! My goal is that you leave New Zealand feeling like you made the most incredible memories while enjoying the culture, local scenery and having marryied your best friend!
A few things about me:
Give me a new location, camera and hours to photograph and I'm in my happy place
Everything I do is for the glory of God, and I wouldn't be where I am today without Him in my life
I love growing flowers in my free time
I'm a fur mum to my gorgeous Red Collie, Ruthie
Hi, I'm Chaznel!
My values and Philosophy:
This isn't a multi-day photoshoot, this is a once in a lifetime custom tour of New Zealand's South Island with a focus on your elopement day at the centre
It's not just pretty images
Your trip isn't about creating fake memories with posed and stiff portraits at every location. We'll take a couple here and there of your classic camera facing portraits, but there's where it ends. This trip is about documenting the real moments you share in beautiful locations.
True to life editing
The way I edit allows your memories to be remembered how they were. Colours are kept how they were so you can remember those moments authentically. Timeless and lasting memories to tell for generations!
No stress
One thing I always make sure of with every single one of my couples is taking care of all the details so you can show up and enjoy without worrying if your vendors are going to show up, you're on time, or missing the small details, I've got it all under control.

My values and Philosophy:
They're not just photos, they are precious memories and heirlooms
I believe in slowing down, being present, and creating an experience that lasts beyond one day.
Valuing real connection over posed perfection, capturing moments that feel honest and true.
Your wedding day should leave you feeling seen, confident and connected.
worried you'll feel awkward in front of the camera?
i get it, believe me
There have been plenty of times where I have felt the same way while having my photo taken, which is why I approach photography through a documentary style but also why activities on your elopement day are so important as it takes your mind off your photo being taken!
"Chaznel assisted us in organising everything we needed for our elopement and was on board with any of the silly ideas we had to have some fun.
If you are seeking a photographer in NZ, you cannot go past Chaznel. She is an amazing human being that will make you feel at ease and comfortable from the moment she speaks with you."
- Jamie + Kiri, Lake Tekapo Elopement
