At last…the final look, featuring one of our favorite moments from our shoot with Kaikoura Wedding Collective.

Thanks to South Pacific Helicopters, we were whisked away from Mangamaunu Retreat to a stunning mountain location, perfect for capturing some epic couple photos.

We’re beyond grateful for the talented creatives in our town who helped bring this vision to life. Alanah Conner wedding florals crafted the most gorgeous floral arrangement, which complemented Sarah Stoute - Bespoke & Alterations timeless gown beautifully.

Our dream team for hair and makeup — Stacey and Linda from Land Hair and Sea — along with Andrew Andrew Spencer Photography, who nailed the video, made it all come together.

Everything you need for your perfect day is right here in our small town, and we can’t wait to help make it all happen for you 🤍

Lost in the misty moody embrace of Kaikoura’s rugged landscape, Jannik & Kristina’s beautiful love story transcends borders. All the way from Germany, they decided to elope on the shores of Kaikoura while on a holiday here in New Zealand, enjoying an intimate and magical ceremony with Kaikoura Elopement Co. ✨
