Kate Craig-Brown Photography

My wife and I got Kate for our elopement last April and it really was an amazing experience. Kate made our day hassle free and got all the things done beforehand to ensure that our day would be stress free. I am also very not comfortable in front of the camera but she made sure that our shoot would be very natural and not awkward. Also, the final photos was so beautiful that it brings tears to our eyes everytime we look at it. No words can describe how wonderful our experience with Kate and would definitely recommend her if you plan on eloping in New Zealand.

My husband and i booked our elopement package with Kate after doing months of research for a photographer and just WOW! from the very beginning to deciding locations up until dropping us back to our accommodation, our experience with Kate was fabulous. I had a hundred questions and Kate was very patient and accommodating. It was our first time doing a photoshoot but Kate made it seem so natural, which helped us relax. Best experience ever. Photos came out beautifully. Thank you so very much! We appreciate your talent.

Kate was such an amazing photographer day-of and very informative leading up to our ceremony. My husband and I eloped and were wanting something calm, quiet, and stress-free and she made sure that happened. She asks questions before and during to ensure we're getting the photos we want. Thank you again, Kate!

I found Kate’s amazing photography on Instagram while I was researching beautiful places to propose to my fiancé. I reached out and within moments Kate was helping me plan the most special moment in my life to date. Kate helped me find the most breath taking location I had ever seen, organised a helicopter ride to get us there and brought a bottle of champagne for me to celebrate the big day.If that’s not enough Kate had all the photos she had taken and edited to me by the end of the day.(See attached photo)Kate I couldn’t have done this with out you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart

We are absolutely in love with our wedding photos! Kate did an amazing job and we can’t thank her enough for her help throughout this process! We would recommend Kate to everyone! She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera which naturally we were really nervous for. It was the most amazing day and now we have so many beautiful photos to look back on. Thanks again Kate xx

Kate is simply amazing! There is no other word for it and I cannot recommend her highly enough!From the early stages of planning our elopement through to the day itself, Kate was kind, compassionate and extremely caring.For months she continued to touch base with us to find out exactly what would work for us from settings and locations through to what we did & didn't want in the ways of photos.On the day itself (suddenly brought forward a day due to the weather), Kate took care of EVERYTHING! We felt incredibly well looked after and felt as though we had known her forever!In addition to being the most amazing elopement planner, Kate is a truly gifted photographer (check out all of the photos below).She has captured our day in a way that I cannot begin to describe!We will be forever grateful to Kate as she gave us memories that will last a lifetime!Again, I cannot recommend her highly enough! She is truly amazing!!

I found Kate's instagram after searching for proposal ideals in New Zealand and I am so happy to have found her services. Kate and her team made the whole experience from scheduling/booking to the day of a huge success despite a weather delay that resulted in my surprise engagement to be pushed out to the following morning. Luckily the weather was much better and we were able to enjoy a surprise helicopter ride and engagement photoshoot!Coordinating everything was simple as she and her team takes care of all of the logistics, all you need to do is show up! She was responsive to all my communications and clarified all my questions and concerns quickly, I can't recommend her enough.

If we could give Kate 10 stars, we would!We cannot recommend Kate highly enough! Not only is her photography simply stunning, but Kate is such a genuinely kind, compassionate and caring person. From the moment we found Kate and began messaging her with a million questions about the elopement process, she put our minds at ease and went above and beyond in helping us plan our dream day. From sending through her detailed elopement guide with so much useful information and suggested vendors, to arranging helicopter flights, our videographer, celebrant, flowers, ceremony and photo locations as well as bringing along a brand new picnic rug for us as we were keen to incorporate a picnic into our day as well. She even gave us advice and suggestions on places to visit whilst we were in New Zealand, which we were very grateful for.Our elopement day itself ran so smoothly because Kate was so organised. She really listened to the things we did and didn't want on our wedding day and made sure we were happy and comfortable the entire time. We've never had photos taken before and were concerned it may feel awkward in front of the camera, but Kate gave us so much space to be with each other and enjoy ourselves whilst providing subtle directions to us to take really natural photos of us that weren't posed or forced.We will forever be grateful to Kate for providing us with such a one of a kind elopement that was just so perfect for us.For anyone who is considering eloping with Kate, absolutely do it! Not only will you create beautiful memories in the moment, but you will have your special day captured in such a stunning way to treasure forever.We really can't thank you enough, Kate.

My now husband and I eloped earlier this year with our daughter Maggie in New Zealand. We chose Kate to run the show and we could not fault our experience with her.My email to Kate once we received our photos: Thank you for everything. I have told the story over and over many a times now on “how I organised this by myself?” and every response I tell them it was beautiful of a beautiful lady named Kate.You were warm and lovely and accepting of involving Maggie in our special day with absolutely no questions asked. Nothing seemed hard work for you. You were so effortlessly relaxed through the whole process - even after I had asked you the 200th question.Your vibe was just perfect for us.Thank you for all the little touches too - from lending me your jacket, to popping Maggie on your picnic blanket… to even offering to hold our bags for us whilst we went in the camper.I could go on and on!Can we do it again?!Thank you Kate. I cannot wait to share these with my friends and family

I cannot say enough how amazing Kate is! She went above and beyond to make our day so special! She is timely, professional, and extremely patient. The day of our wedding was stress free. Kate made us feel special, drove us to the locations, and gave great directions during our photo sessions. Our pictures are beyond magical! I am so appreciative Kate! Thank you again for everything you have done for us!
