At the head of Lake Wakatipu lies Paradise. A place early settlers called heaven on earth. Turquoise rivers, golden meadows, native bush and snow‑capped peaks have long attracted artists, filmmakers and wanderers.
Access by land only scratches the surface. By helicopter we reach hidden clearings and riverbanks far from the trails. As the chopper settles, you step into a light‑filled world set for vows.
This location has multiple layers. Māori seasonal routes, European farming, film set and yet it remains quietly magical. The light here is literary; the stillness speaks. Our photography captures the glow, the emotion, the story that’s both personal and dramatically real.
