ELOPEMENTS & INTIMATE WEDDINGS
We can’t always explain the connections in our lives and how they
came to be. But we can feel them. An invisible thread that’s woven
through every lived experience to bring us to this exact moment.
A bright spark or rip-roaring fire, it’s hard to describe the love
that’s brought you two together. Through the highs and the lows,
all that matters is that you’re together.Wherever you are, they’ll
always be your home.
Whether we’re on a breathtaking mountain top or exploring a quiet
hideaway spot, your elopement photos will honour the magnitude
of your love. Shutting out the noise, stopping time, your memories
are safe with me.

Nikita takes so much care and time to get to know you that it feels like you're planning your wedding with a best friend who has known you a lifetime. She constantly reminds you to soak it all in as it comes because like everyone says it goes by so quickly. I honestly couldn't imagine having anyone else help us create a more magical day. Not many people can look back at their wedding and say they wouldn't change a thing but we can and I truly believe that is thanks to Nikitas dedication to make our dream come true. Nikita made the experience so enjoyable that I'm going to miss talking to her all the time.
I can't even begin to explain how amazing Nikita is...

I have never felt so empowered and confident...
from how Nikita guided us through these moments. She asked us to close our eyes and feel the wairua (spirit) of those whanau (family) who have passed on as well of the whose land we stand on and I felt this massive wave of mana (pride) come through me. We channelled that energy in to our photos. It was more than photos for us it was history in the making. These moments captured are for our babies to look on and know that our journey of cultural discovery was for them!
We both felt a bit emotional seeing the photos

You captured each and every special moment in the most amazing pictures on our wedding day. And no less importantly, you are the most wonderful, kind, and fun person - we are so lucky to have had you!
Ellen & Mitch
Not only did she make everything relaxed and easy, she got on beautifully with my family and made everyone feel happy and relaxed, and made my now husband and I feel so special. Aside from all of that, the photos were incredible. Like, really, really incredible!

Nikita was the most INCREDIBLE presence to have on the day...
Mei & Tyler
She made me beautiful, she made me laugh, she calmed me down and left us with photos of our special day that I will always cherish. When it came to photography, she was everywhere, but nowhere to be seen. When I look at our photos I wonder how she managed to be in two places at once. Nikita even took the time to send a sneak preview of some photos on the day so when our incredible day came to an end we already had some photos to look back on! I would highly recommend her for hair, makeup and photography!

I will never forget the energy that Nikita brought to our special day...
Alex & James
Nikita joined us in Queenstown for our wedding on Coromandel Peak at about five minutes notice and was fabulous! We were lucky enough to book a multi-day package and had two sessions with Nikita prior to our wedding day. Our whole family loved Nikita so much, and she just has a way of making everyone feel comfortable and relaxed and that truly shows in all of our photos. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I look back at our photos at least once a week and fall in love with them a little more each time.

Nikita is an amazing make up artist and photographer!
Sarah & Paul
She completely understood our vibe for the day, and that we didn’t want posed, perfect pics. But rather candid, natural, and bursting with love – which is a true reflection of Paul and I. The wedding day arrived and we instantly vibed so well. Paul and I felt so comfortable being ourselves and Nikita captured every minute of our day exactly as we had dreamt it would be done. Her skill is second to none and her personality makes every person feel so at ease. It was like hanging out with a mate who happens to be ridiculously talented with a camera. I could not recommend Nikita highly enough if I tried. I only wish we could get married again just so she could take more photos.
Nikita is truly the most incredible photographer!

[maori: meaning "people of the land"]
My own whakapapa (ancestry) and cultural identity is linked to Ngati Pikiao and Nga Puhi iwi (tribes) of Aotearoa (New Zealand) - and I grew up on Darumbal Country (Central Queensland) here in Australia. So I understand the significance of cultural identity and the profound spiritual connection that certain cultures and people have to the land and our Earth Mother.
Whether you have an intrinsic spiritual connection to the land that you are marrying on, or you just feel connected to that land and space - allow me to honour that connection by capturing it (and you) in its most raw and pure form.

Annapurna Circuit in Nepal, where breathtaking scenery meets the warm embrace of a captivating culture. Prepare to be enthralled by the jaw-dropping vistas
Embarking on a journey into the heart of nature's untamed beauty, I found myself drawn to the volcanic landscapes that echoed with whispers of transformation. With each step, I felt the ancient call of the volcano...
Sometimes the best way to reconnect with each other and the world around you, is to take some time out, and step back into the solitude of nature. My husband and I recently had the pleasure of doing just that at Numie..
