Sophie & Anthony | Lochnagar Elopement Wedding | Wanaka Wedding Planner

Sophie & Anthony woke on the morning of their wedding to what can only be described as a perfect day. Clear skies and not a breath of wind meant that the often wild Lake Hawea was like glass, which has been a rare occurrence this summer!

Their bach was a stones throw from Lake Hawea, which meant that while Sophie was getting ready, Anthony could hang out by the lake in the late afternoon sun. It also made for a perfect spot for a first look! Their helicopter landed in a nearby paddock (pretty much door to door service!) and they set off for the magical location of Lochnagar, deep in the Southern Alps. It was here that their ceremony took place, and they shared their vows with one another. After relaxing by the lake and taking a few portraits, it was time to head back to Lake Hawea, for a cheeky glass of bubbles by the lake to finish the day off!

Thank you so much to small but amazing group of suppliers who made this day possible :)

When people say getting married is one of the most stressful things you can do I could not disagree with them more. Boutique Weddings made the entire process from start to finish completely seamless. We were able to truly enjoy every moment and will cherish our memories forever. It was an unforgettable day and the most special moment of both our lives.
