Courtney & Hannah
“The Adventure Package”
+ one hour of extra coverage
Love Story
Courtney first met Hannah at the gym, during a class she was coaching…
From the moment they spoke, they knew that they would be more than casual gym buddies. Hannah kept coming back to Courtney’s sessions, and what started as an easy, genuine friendship slowly began to grow into something more.
During Courtney’s 29th birthday is when these two really felt the sparks fly. While they were out celebrating with a group of friends, Courtney realised how much she truly liked Hannah. It was such a beautiful moment, especially knowing the feeling was mutual. Their relationship was built on friendship and trust, which is something that’s built to last a lifetime.
They couldn’t have been more excited for a romantic elopement in Queenstown! What they love most about eloping is the simplicity. No big crowd, no pressure, just the two of them sharing something meaningful and completely their own.
Whether it’s adventures or quiet nights in, they’re happiest when they’re together. Their perfect weekend? A little getaway with their fur babies, a bottle of wine, a cheeseboard, and watching the sunrise.

On the day
We met Courtney and Hannah at Crystal Waters Airbnb in Fernhill, where they were getting ready with their mums. They had some cute cupcakes from Sophie Roseanna, and Hannah even made a cute little spread of breakfast food (they even had little bear lollies!).
Their mums were also getting dolled up, so we captured some lovely getting-ready moments with everyone. One of the sweetest parts was the reveal, seeing their mums’ reactions when Courtney and Hannah stepped out in their outfits for the first time. Lots of smiles before we all headed out to Moke Lake for their romantic elopement!
It was a stunning morning, with reflections of the mountains in the lake. There had been a huge early morning frost, but it had melted off before we got there, so it was just perfect. The Flower Room had been there to install a $3000 worth of floral plinths, with beautiful white roses all over. The roses really complemented the couple’s outfits, with Courtney wearing a beautiful white vest and pant suit and Hannah wearing an elegant halter wedding dress.
Both their dads walked them down the aisle, and they had an amazing ceremony by the lake with Emily O’Leary as their celebrant. After their ceremony, we drove to Heliworks and flew up to Cecil Peak for some photos. It was a little bit windy, but still absolutely gorgeous!
Congratulations, Courtney and Hannah!
