Jackson & Courtney's wedding was an absolute dream! When we heard about J&C's wedding in New Zealand, we did as any Lord of the Rings nerds would do! We immediately jumped onboard for the opportunity to have a grand adventure with some amazing people!
We actually knew J&C before their wedding, because they are wedding photographers that we have worked a handful of weddings with. They are such a wonderful, fun & talented couple! They are so kind & easy going, and in a fast paced, pressure filled industry, they are a breath of fresh air!
Jackson & Courtney booked *the perfect* bed & breakfast to stay at for the ceremony & festivities in TeAnau, with the most wonderful hosts!! The day before the wedding, we went out scouting with J&C to look for the perfect location to have their ceremony and they landed on Eglington Valley (fun fact: the rocky Mountains in the distance were the "Misty Mountains" from Lord of the Rings). After the ceremony, we hopped on a helicopter and flew above the Fjords and landed somewhere in the Doubtful Sound for some romantic portrait shots of the two of them. Then the day ended in the teepee setup in the yard of the B&B with some delicious food, dancing and celebrating!
Jackson and Courtney had such an epic wedding and we just couldn't have been more giddy to celebrate them & to travel across the world to capture it for them! Enjoy their wedding highlight!!
