I'm not gonna lie...

This is us (Kristin and Dustin) with our (now 2-year-old) son, Eli. Yes, we know he's adorable!

My goal to visit New Zealand started the moment I saw The Lord of the Rings in 2001. (Yes, I fell prey to the Lord of the Rings world. I regret nothing.) Since then, it has been my goal to visit such a gorgeous country and explore it!

I am Kristin Smetona. I live in Orange County, California. I have been married for 7 years to my amazing husband Dustin. I have an adorable son named Eli. I have been honored to photograph weddings for over 10 years and I want to photograph your elopement!

Over the years, I have had the privilege of photographing shoots and weddings all over the world! France, Ireland, Switzerland, and Mexico are great examples! (The photo above is from Switzerland in 2014) I would love to get the chance to capture a couple in love in New Zealand! On top of mountain, on a cliff, in a forest, or (heck!) the Hobbiton set! 

So, if you are eloping in New Zealand around the end of November this year, here is the deal: 
You will get...

  • 4 hours of on-location photography coverage in New Zealand. Let's explore!
  • Hand-edited images
  • Online gallery with High-Res photos.
  • Reprint release (print the photos when and where you want)
  • Total $1500 NZD ($1100 USD)

I am looking for only one special couple to receive this deal!

Where did you two first meet? Where do you dream of saying "I do"? What do you love about New Zealand? Do you love Lord of the Rings too?
