new zealand elopement packages
THE COST OF A BIG TRADITIONAL WEDDING = $$$
plus the hidden costs of…
your mental & emotional wellbeing
other people being the focus of your day
not having quality time with your partner on your wedding day
THE COST OF ELOPING
& BEING FREE = PRICELESS
(but probably still less than the wedding)
“I wish I could pack Shelby in my pocket and have her document all of the special moments in my life!”
★★★★★
“From our very first interaction, I knew Shelby was one in a million. She made our wedding day and the months leading up to it so easy. Travelling from Australia to New Zealand to elope with just the two of us, she made us feel like everything was taken care of, vendors sourced, options explored.
Planning an elopement felt overwhelming but it didn't take long for Shelby to map it all out for us and make us feel at ease! You aren't just hiring an amazing photographer, she is everything and more.”
—Mikaela + Tyson
EVERY TÙ STUDIOS ELOPEMENT IS:
01 - CAPTURED CINEMATICALLY
My style focuses on telling the story of your wedding and capturing the essence of who you both are — not just what your elopement looked like on the surface.
Which means your wedding photos will look like your very own movie, and you get to feel like you’re living your elopement day all over again.
“Shelby saw more than us as people in photos, but truly captured who we are.” —Kyah & Caleb
02 - FULLY UNPOSED
No stiff, awkward posing here. In fact, no posing at all. You don’t even have to acknowledge the camera at all at any point of your day.
All you have to do is be present and enjoy the fact that you’re getting married!
“Every photo felt natural, genuine, and full of emotion, and she made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole experience.” —Geo & Yin Ya
03 - PLANNED & COORDINATED
That’s right, it’s not just photos — you also get full planning support and day-of coordination. I’ll help you narrow down the endless options for your elopement and make planning as fun & smooth as possible.
And when it comes to the big day, I’ll handle the time-keeping & logistics so you can kick back and soak it all in!
“Shelby was there with a very thorough and comprehensive way to help us navigate the planning and expectations.” —Amber & Scott
so you can focus
on nothing but each other
“Her photography is pure art, it’s an experience I will never forget.” —Emily + Andreas

WHAT MY COUPLES SAY…
-
"Shelby is the person for you"
★★★★★
If you're planning to elope in NZ and need a photographer to capture those precious moments between you and your partner, Shelby is the person for you.
She was so kind and supportive from the beginning and every step of the way, not just with helping me understand her philosophy and process, but also with scouting the perfect location for our ceremony and finding other vendors (e.g. videographer, florist) for our special day, which was especially helpful given we were coming from overseas.
She had a backup plan in case weather wasn't on our side (which came in handy!) and we both felt natural and at ease with her there to remind us to take deep breaths and focus on the present moment, prior to starting our vows.
The day was sweet and joyous, and her photos of us even made it feel magical looking back. Thank you so much, Shelby!
—Lydia + Kristina

"Felt safe, seen and valued"
★★★★★
Shelby effortlessly crafted an atmosphere of warmth and genuine connection, allowing us to feel at ease throughout the entire process.
As people who have never been big fans of template-like/overly scripted photos, it was important to us to feel comfortable enough to be ourselves. Shelby allowed us to do just that, all while capturing it beautifully.
Her keen eye for detail, coupled with her innate talent for making the people she photographs feel safe, seen and valued, sets her apart as a professional and a true artist. Thanks again for making our dream a reality! <3
—Nisa + Kaiven

"we owe her so much"
★★★★★
My wife and I recently eloped in New Zealand and Shelby was our photographer, but not only that, she was so much more. Before embarking on this adventure, we were very lost as to how to even begin planning such a remarkable and exciting event. Shelby was there with a very thorough and comprehensive way to help us navigate the planning and expectations.
And, to top it all off, she captured some of the best and joyful fun moments from one of the most special days of our lives. We love Shelby's style of photography and she absolutely knocked this shoot out of the park.The photos she captured, we will cherish the rest of our lives and we owe her so much gratitude for all of the planning she poured in to this event.
—Amber + Scott
