The Locations

Figuring out where to take some fabulous photo's of your self can be quite daunting. I have compiled a list on some of my fave place's. Also many more worth exploring. Here is a list I have compiled.

Witch Point Lookout

A beautiful spot up in the port hills. Perfect for overcast days. Sunrise's are amazing here but sunset's unfortunately hide behind the hills surrounding.

Mona Vale

A Stunning garden hidden within Riccarton. Bridge's, pathways, rose gardens and so much more. Perfect location for Autumn or spring, when the flowers are all blossoming.

Godley Head

Past the hills and over the mountains. Godley heads has some amazing spots. If your up for a big walk, we can adventure round the hills. There are so many spot's but to get the sunrise we have to find the highest point.

Spencer Park

If your after a bit of the beach & some forestry with some light filtering through. This is the place to be. Can be shot at any time of the day due to being able to hide within the trees.

Hagley Park

A big lake, a wharf and a super spot to add the dogs. There is always somewhere to take photo's within this park and a central location.

Botanical Gardens

Water Fountains, bridge's, Rose garden's and so much more. Of course there is also the Ilex Café, which serves a pretty good coffee! Wander round the park and find some cute spots.

St James Park

A stunning walkway and open park. Lots of open spaces. Located in Papanui.

New Brighton Beach

Not only is the pier always an iconic part of Christchurch. We also have some stunning artwork to pose with,

Lyttleton Harbour

Sign of the Bellbird

There is two parts of this lookout. The beautiful Lyttleton harbor view or the country view with the stone house. With a few grassy tracks and hiding holes. This makes for a super spot with all the views. Sign of the bellbird is one of the best spot's up the port hills for sunset.

  • Lake Lyndon, a short 1 and a hlf hour drive from Christchurch. This picturesque lake turns into a complete skating rink in the winter. The snowy mountains and epic views. There is also an amazing astro photography opportunity. We could plan a half day adventure, head off a couple hours before sunset starts at castle hill among the super cool rocks. Head to the lake near on sunset and snap a few adventure shots. Then finish in the dark for an astro shot.
  • Moeraki Boulders A beautiful sea filled with crazy sunrises. Don't forget the wildlife that resides here. Walk amongst the round rocks and watch the penguins and seals play.
