The Elopement Experience
Planning an elopement has never been easier! I absolutely love the timelessness and intimacy that elopements offer and together we can plan your PERFECT day!
Whether you're looking for just a photographer to be a part of your day or whether you're looking for an all inclusive package I have a little bit of something to suit everyone!
STAGE ONE: WHO is Chaznel Photography?
Hi, Chaznel here (although you've probably gathered that already since you came to my site hehe)!
I have been photographing Elopements specifically since April 2022 and have loved every single moment of the journey and the adventures so far!
When I first started offering elopement photography I realised there was a world of Brides who just wanted something sweet and simple and easy and it became a world I wanted to be a part of! Fast forward to today I now get to help couples throughout all seasons of the year plan the best elopements of their lives!
My main goal as your elopement photographer is to help you through all the little niggly bits of planning so the process is as stress-free and easy as possible, sounds amazing right?!
I have even teamed up with some amazing North Canterbury Vendors to also offer the perfect all inclusive packages so it's as easy as choosing your package, date and time and then booking in; simplicity being key!
This here on my right is Kineta Booker - she is a local elopement celebrant and together we have been offering elopement packages as the Celebrant and Photographer Duo that we are since April 2022 and we have loved working together every moment! Want to find out more about Elopements and my packages? Let's head to Stage Two!
