Snowy Canterbury Elopement by Melissa Grace Photography

As the very first Canterbury snowfall of the year hit the mountain tops, this group of uber-talented Canterbury vendors ventured out to Porters Pass to capture just a taste of what’s possible with a winter elopement right here in Christchurch could look like.

Featuring an intimate picnic-style reception set amongst the tussocks, the afternoon rays of golden light streamed down upon the dreamy setting as two lovers enjoyed the first celebrations of their commitment to forever together.
