Proud member of the LGBT+ community ♥ Working alongside excited brides and grooms, is a truly rewarding and humbling experience. The thought and effort couples put into their wedding day is always incredible, and as your celebrant I am excited to help make the process of creating your ceremony as easy as possible. Born in Auckland and raised in Queenstown since the age of four, I'm about as local

as it gets for this transient tourist haven. Every aspect of Queenstown makes it a wondrous place to tie the knot; stunning scenery, great vendors, and exceptional service is standard.

​If you are looking for someone intuitive and easy-going, with a knack for making people feel at ease, I know that I can help you to mold a ceremony and create a moment in your lives that you will never forget!

There’s a lot to love about this job of mine, but one the biggest highlights of being a celebrant has to be the fact that sometimes I get to officiate for the people closest to me. In this last year alone I’ve been lucky enough to see THREE of my very best friends get married to their significant others, and boy was it special!

The first of those weddings was none other than Caitlin & Aaron here in Queenstown in March 🏔️ I’ve known Caitlin since year 1 at Queenstown Primary School, and from those early days, our stint together in the local pipe band, and surviving through our (very) awkward teenage years, to seeing each other become the adults we are today, she’s been the most incredible, supportive, genuine friend anyone could hope for… Aaron, you’re a lucky man (don’t worry, I know she’s pretty lucky herself!)

Thanks for having me Mr & Mrs D***s 🤍

Esther & Maj. Truly beautiful souls, whose day could not have been more magical ✨

Such an honour to help them celebrate their love (and throw a bit of snow) atop Double Cone earlier this month!

Cara & Jayden didn’t let a little rain dampen their spirits... If anything, it only made their elopement up Deer Park Heights all the more romantic.

Let this be a little reminder that you can’t change the weather, but you can choose how to handle it ☔️ And in the case of these two legends, that meant rolling with it and having an epic time anyway!!

Tanner & Johno’s windy elopement atop the Bayonets with Sunshine Weddings!

We took off in the rain, but it wasn’t gonna bring these two legends down. Thankfully we landed at a spot where the rain hadn’t reached, and although the wind was *briiisk* you could just tell that they were STOKED to get married 🎉

A quick second stop down by the Lochy River made for some peace and quiet amongst the beautiful native beech forest. The perfect place to let those newlywed feels sink in!

I actually met Rachel & Luke because I mistook them for another couple that was meeting me for a wedding rehearsal at a local venue several years ago.

At the time they had been on the hunt for a perfect spot to get married, and I had cheekily said that if they were in need of a celebrant they should get in touch. So, it was to my delight that some time later Luke and Rachel reached out!

They had found the perfect venue (as you can see) and I was absolutely honoured when they asked me to be the celebrant and MC for their absolutely perfect day ✨

I think the kids these days would call that a celebrant ‘meet cute’?!

The moments when you can just be together on your wedding day 🤍

This is something I cannot emphasise or recommend more… Seizing the opportunities to let it all sink in, taking in the crowd as you hold each other close, and sneaking away, even just for a minute or two, to give one another the ‘holy s**t we just got married’ hug!

Here are a couple of those moments from Mats and Josh’s day, so beautifully (and candidly) captured by the wonderful

Eloping in winter is just a little bit crazy… We’re talking sub zero temperatures, chilling winds, and a high chance of chilblains ❄️

But the trade-offs? Bluebird days, mountains the way they’re meant to look, snow angels and snowfetti kisses (I’m always up for throwing a bit of snow for the sake of the shot!)

One thing it is for sure, it’s going to be memorable. Take it from this smiley snow-going celebrant!

So… Up for it? 🏔️

Only in Queenstown would THIS be your plan B!

Cara & Dy took to the mountains with three chopper loads of guests, and although we didn’t get to Vanguard Peak for their ceremony I don’t think anyone was complaining when we landed here instead 🏔️

We have a one year old! ✨

I didn’t realise that planning a first birthday party would be so emotional, but then again I suppose this time last year we didn’t think we would be dads so soon…

It would be impossible to adequately thank everyone who has loved and supported us this past year. We only hope that you all know how much it has meant (and continues to mean) to us, and that we will forever be grateful.

Much love from this very spoilt one year old, and her two doting dads 🤍

thank you for these precious photos!

Libby & Tom had the most gorgeous little wedding above Lake Hayes last month. The afternoon sun at this time of year is always so low in the sky, and that meant all the more time for these two legends to soak in that golden glow ✨

doing a stunning job (as per usual) of capturing their day in all of its glory!
