Didn’t realise the paps were out and about at first game of the season last night AND their first ever at our brand new Parakiore 😋❤️‍🔥 What a night! So good to have a fangurl chat with - where we discovered that neither of us had seen this epic team in action before! And we both even tried to replicate the “eagle” the night’s epic MC taught us all (third pic 🫣🤭😆😋

Such a fun night with Austen and 2/4 of my nieces enjoying Pouakai’s VIP experience courtside for the evening 😇 (I’ve popped a link in my Stories if you wanna find out more 🤩

📷 The paps were my nieces 😋

A modern elopement can be intimate, elegant, meaningful and deeply personal. It can be beautifully photographed. It can include the people who matter most, or it can be just the two of you. It can happen by the sea, in a garden, on private land, at a boutique venue, or somewhere that has a special place in your story.

Small does not have to mean rushed, basic or forgettable.

Small can be beautiful.

Small can be intentional.

Small can still feel like a wedding.

That​'s why​, in 2020, I created Elope Away - Christchurch + Canterbury Elopement Packages. And we've never looked back! Because our couples LOVE them!

​Here are some photos of our Elope Away package options for you to consider:

3. Ashley Chapel, Ashley (Image: Andrea Zoe Photography)
