Shanade & Kristian, Uluru Elopement
"We had enquired with other elopement agencies, however, once we connected with Nikita it became clear why she was the right choice for us. She took the time to understand us personally and customised every aspect of our wedding. By the end of our experience, it felt like she was a part of our family. We are incredibly grateful to Nikita for everything she did for us!"
Nikita truly went above and beyond to enhance our elopement experience!

Your elopement should feel like home: natural, effortless, and completely yours. That’s where I come in!
With an intuitive and heart-led approach, I’m here to help you create an experience that feels deeply aligned with who you are. From finding the perfect location to weaving in meaningful rituals, I’ll guide you through a day that feels easy, intentional, and true to you.
When it comes to photography, I don’t do stiff poses or forced moments. I capture how it feels. The way you hold each other, the quiet moments between words, the unguarded laughter. Nothing forced, nothing staged. Just creating a space for you to be fully present and authentically yourselves, while I document it all.
If you want someone who gently holds space, guides when needed, and captures your love in a way that feels real, I’d love to connect! Let’s make some magic!

Crystal & Jack, Blue Mountains Elopement
"Her ability to make us feel comfortable and at ease was truly special. She doesn’t just take pictures; she captures feelings, emotions, and the little moments that make a day magical. She blends into the day like a lifelong friend, making the entire experience feel so natural and fun. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and planner to help our love story come to life!"
Nikita radiates the most incredible energy – warm, kind, and effortlessly uplifting.
ELOPEMENT & INTIMATE WEDDING GALLERY
No two elopements are the same, and that’s the best part! Maybe you’re drawn to the sacred red earth as Uluru bares witness to your vows, or kicking off sandy shoes after a barefoot ceremony in The Whitsundays. Maybe it’s the wild, and rugged landscapes of the Great Ocean Road, or the feeling of The Blue Mountains towering around you as you promise your forever to one another.
Wherever your love takes you, I’ll be there! Not just to capture the epic views, but to capture the way it felt to be standing there.
Here’s a glimpse into what’s possible. Real couples, real moments, captured with heart. See more from the couples who trusted me with their stories.

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!
