Stu & Tracey’s Elopement

On the 3rd of May 2025, Matarangi turned on the magic. It was one of those picture-perfect Autumn Saturdays — blue skies, sunshine, and a whole lot of love in the air.

The perfect day was to become Stu and Tracey wedding elopement - just 12 of their closet people.

Their children, Collins and Lachie, parents, and siblings made up the guest list, and honestly, that’s all they needed to celebrate something so special.

Stu’s family flew in from the UK, making it a true celebration of love and connection. And Matarangi was the place. A beach that holds memories, meaning, and now... their wedding.

The energy was fun, joyful, and relaxed — just how you’d imagine a celebration between two soulmates should be.

Collins + Lachie were absolutely buzzing to be a part of the action, proudly taking on the role of ring keepers (and absolutely nailing it!).

The champagne was flowing! Glasses clinked, laughter echoed, and everyone soaked up the sunshine and celebration.

Stu and Tracey, what an beautiful celebration. Thank you for letting me capture your magic. Here's to a lifetime of love, beach walks, and more days just like this.
