GROUND LOCATIONS
Your heli-elopement ceremony might take you high into the mountains, but there’s so much beauty to capture on the ground too.
These Queenstown photoshoot locations are perfect for before or after your mountaintop ceremony, whether it’s a first look, a relaxed stroll together, or some fun, candid moments with friends and family.
