Here we are in the third week of April, which is basically our favourite week of the whole year.
Can you guess why? 👀
The floral arch and the side-pod on the helicopter meant James was overweight for the flight, but Josh and Ayaka were there to capture the magic for C&C.

Convincing Dea to join him at the bar, Alice unknowingly set the stage for destiny. As the night progressed, Andy seized the opportunity to ask for Dea's number, igniting a spark that would define their future.

What does being on the mountain top mean for you?
Do we go just for pretty pictures, or does it have some other significant meaning?
For us it means:
→Hopes, dreams and success
Perspective
→Thrill of opportunity and risk
Let’s start off with a famous quote from Sir Edmund Hillary: “It is not the mountains we conquer, but ourselves”.
The mountains of Queenstown are like our dreams and hopes to conquer.
Seeing the clear views of faraway places from the top, gives us perspective of what’s ahead.
Standing on the edge of the cliff to say your promises of commitments.. puts you on the spotlight. Although there are risks, significant opportunities are within your grasp.
What do the mountains make you feel?
Thank you Viv and lan for choosing us for your Elopement
- your personal journeys really inspired us to introspect our own mountain-craving behaviour.
Another quote from Sir Hillary:
“Despite all I have seen and experienced, I still get the same simple thrill out of glimpsing a tiny patch of snow in a high mountain gully and feel the same urge to climb towards it.”

Hey folks, gather 'round for a tale of love and adventure, Nomad Weddings-style!

So get this, on the 12th of February 2024, Yutong and Shuze decided to take the plunge and tie the knot in a super sweet Queenstown elopement. And let me tell you, it was something straight out of a fairy tale, captured flawlessly by the talented duo, James and Josh from Nomad Weddings.

The day started off with Yutong getting all dolled up at Kawarau Village, with a skilled makeup artist making sure she was looking her absolute best. Meanwhile, Shuze was off getting his hair done, making sure he didn't sneak a peek at his bride until the big moment.

Once everyone was looking sharp, they made their way to Trelawn Place, with Yutong carrying all the important stuff in her day bag – you know, rings, vows, flowers, the works.

And then came the big moment, the first look down the aisle before the ceremony kicked off. It was intimate, it was beautiful, and it was over before you could say "I do." But not before popping a bottle to celebrate, of course!

After the ceremony, Yutong slipped into another stunning dress, and off they went for a photo shoot against the breathtaking backdrop of Queenstown. Coronet Peak or Lake Hayes, you name it, they captured it all – two hours and twenty-five minutes of pure magic.

And when the day was done, the planner made sure they got back to their digs safe and sound, with a backup plan in case Mother Nature decided to rain on their parade.

So here's to Yutong and Shuze – may your love story be as epic as this day was! Congratulations!

Caleb treasures Sandra's gentle nature and work ethic, while Sandra cherishes Caleb's understanding and unwavering support. They both share a love for adventure, family, and the great outdoors, with plans to start a family of their own in the future.

Their shared journey has been marked by unwavering commitment, from purchasing a home together to dreaming of parenthood and cabin getaways. Their strength lies in their deep friendship, love for family, and faith in each other and God.

For Sandra and Caleb, marriage is a sacred commitment before God, symbolizing trust, growth, and unwavering support. It represents the security of their love and their dedication to building a life together.

Cliff and Maria, who embarked on their incredible journey after meeting through a mutual friend just 1-2 years after graduating from university, have shared their heartwarming love story with us. This charming, down-to-earth tale is a testament to the beautiful surprises life has in store, even when we least expect them.

It all began when Mariah's name came up in conversation in September 2017. Cliff added her on social media, but their paths didn't initially cross. Life kept them busy as Mariah wasn't actively dating, and Cliff was immersed in his work. Fast forward to December of that year, a simple holiday greeting from Mariah sparked a moment of hesitation for Cliff. Should he say Merry Christmas? Their mutual friend gave him the nudge he needed to send a message, and to his delight, Mariah responded.

Their connection was instant, a harmonious blend of shared values and goals. Both were diligently carving their career paths and dreaming of a bright future. This was a love story fueled by maturity, patience, and a strong sense of purpose.

But here's the twist – when they first struck up this profound connection, Mariah was in Norway, and Cliff was in the Philippines. The physical distance was an obstacle, but their hearts bridged the gap with ease. Months passed, and their bond grew stronger. The time had come to finally meet in person, and in August 2018, Cliff picked up Mariah from the airport in the Philippines. From that moment on, their story became an inspiring testament to the enduring power of love, proving that when two hearts are meant to be together, distance is no match for destiny.

As their relationship blossomed, Cliff decided to take the next step by purchasing an engagement ring. The next stage of their journey was to ask for her parents' blessing, a cherished tradition in the Philippines. This step, often filled with anticipation and anxiety, turned out to be quite the opposite. Mariah's parents welcomed Cliff with warmth, understanding, and a sense of readiness, knowing that their love had already stood the test of time.

What makes this engagement story even more delightful is Cliff's clever and playful approach. He had playfully, yet repeatedly, suggested that he would propose in two years. It was all a part of his master plan to keep Mariah pleasantly surprised. When the moment arrived, she had no inkling of what was to come.

The proposal itself unfolded with an unexpected twist. Cliff's initial plan of a quiet and serene proposal on the Gold Coast encountered a few hiccups, leading to a charming proposal on the beach with a small crowd as their witness. The unforeseen circumstances only added to the spontaneity and joy of the moment. Later that evening, they celebrated with a heartfelt dinner with Mariah's family, who couldn't help but jest about the unexpected timing, as they had been asked for permission months prior.

Now, as we fast forward to their wedding day, we find that Cliff and Maria have chosen a breathtaking elopement with a heli-wedding package. Their wedding theme, or rather, the absence of one, reflects their unbridled love for beautiful locations and the sheer magic of being together. Their love story, marked by serendipity, spontaneity, and the courage to take flight in love, culminates in a celebration that is as unique as their journey.

In the hands of their talented vendors, including celebrant Andy, photographer Josh, videographer Ayaka, hair and makeup artist Iku, and florist Steph, Cliff and Maria's love story is expertly documented for all to see. Their heli-wedding, set against the stunning backdrop of Erskine and Creighton, captures the essence of their love that transcends boundaries and defies expectations.

Cliff and Maria's wedding day is more than just a celebration. It's a testament to the magic of love that can find its way to your heart when you least expect it. It's a reminder that true love knows no bounds, and it can span continents, cultures, and any obstacle life may throw in its path. Their love story is a beacon of hope for all those seeking love, a message that when two hearts are meant to be together, nothing can stand in their way. So, as you embark on your wedding planning journey, remember that love has its own timeline, its own destination, and its own unique way of taking flight.

Cliff and Maria's love story is an extraordinary one, and their wedding day is a reflection of the remarkable journey that brought them together. We invite you to join us in celebrating their love and to be inspired by the magic of love that transcends boundaries and defies expectations. Love is a journey, and for Cliff and Maria, it's a journey that has taken them to incredible heights.
