AuthenticAs Queenstown: Love & Adventure Unite

Journey with us through Queenstown, New Zealand, where love and adventure converge in a tale as unique as yours. Meet Ian and Selena, a couple seeking something extraordinary for their pre-wedding shoot, and if we could include Ian’s parents Mercy & Noel, that would be the icing on the cake.

Here at AuthenticAs we pride ourselves on offering something different, not a run of the mill experience. Instead we can craft our packages individually for you whilst you visit the truly beautiful Southern Lakes district of Aotearoa / New Zealand.

Sue & Tania

Is there a more romantic way of proposing than being halfway up a mountain, in the snow, under the stunning Southern Night Sky? We’re not sure there is. It’s even better when it’s disguised as a Star Gazing Tour, keeping the secret safe and amplifying the surprise. Read about Sue & Tania’s unforgettable AuthenticAs Starry Night Adventure here in Tāhuna, Aotearoa (Queenstown, NZ)

A Family Portrait at Millbrook Resort with the Rossi-Shroffs

Contacted by Sarah, to capture some family portraits at Millbrook Resort we knew we had to be flexible and fun working around an 18 month old. We under-estimated this little one’s love of golf indeed. Much to his Grandpas admiration, himself a keen golfer.

Astro Portraits

Astro photography is breathtaking, and when you add in a person, it often takes it to a new level entirely. The desire to learn new skills to be able soon took hold of me. After only a few practices this puzzle really started to come together.
