You probably know New Zealand for its beautiful mountains, lakes, Hobbiton and kiwi (both the fruit and bird)… But most are not aware of the gorgeous starry sky that it offers! We are spellbound by these GORGEOUS New Zealand pre-wedding photos. Thanks to OneThreeOneFour photographers, who carefully took these stunning photos.

Modern day couples prefer to have their wedding photos taken overseas. With the world as your backdrop, brides and grooms have a tough time deciding where to have their pre wedding photoshoot. With the help of talented photographers from OneThreeOneFour, we share with you beautiful pre wedding photos taken around the world.

Church of the Good Shepherd

For night shooting, our photographers would bring our clients to Lake Tekapo – 3 hours from Christchurch, far from all civilisation. Clients will typically spent the earlier half of their prewedding shoot at Lake Tekapo’s Lupins field. Soon after, the sun set and the dazzling night sky too over Lake Tekapo. Untainted by any light pollution, it was a magnificent sight. The isolation and flat plains provided a beautiful clear sky that offers unparalleled views of the stars. Incorporate this with the famous historical Church of the Good Shepherd in the background, they present the perfect and most iconic backdrop for New Zealand.
