Check out these shots from the Minaret shoot last week. Nick from Alpine Helicopters was flying and Matt took some nice shots of me in action. We got some amazing images of the lodge in the afternoon, evening and then during the night with the light of the full moon. I will get a full post up soon when the editing is done.
I shot this Queenstown home back in February in the middle of a busy week with 5 shoots in 7 days! I love shooting commercial work and especially over the wedding season. It keeps my photography fresh and gets my mind working and coming up with new ideas.
I finished another great shoot up at Minaret station,Wanaka’s latest super luxury accommodation with helicopter access only. Living in tents doesn’t get better than this. Just read the intro from their website below, doesn’t it just make you want to go!
Minaret Station is New Zealand’s first luxury tented camp, located at the head of stunningly picturesque glacial valley in the heart of the Southern Alps. Accessible only by helicopter, Minaret Station treats those fortunate enough to experience this wilderness landscape to a level of comfort and style never before available in the New Zealand mountains.
Guests are hosted under canvas in luxuriously furnished tented suites complete with wall to wall sheepskin carpet, king beds, private deck set with its own hot tub, full en-suite with double vanity and endless hot showers.
On-site facilities include the ‘Mountain Kitchen’ with its well stocked library, dining room, living area, open fires, first class chef and on-site private guides.
An architectural shoot for Riverrun lodge in Wanaka.
Riverrun is a great lodge just 5 minutes from Wanaka. Its got amazing views and feeling of remoteness while still beeing so close to town. I really like the materials in the lodge, lots of old big wood beams. All wood is recycled from various places with lots of history. Big luxurious rooms and great spaces.

Wanaka’s latest luxury accomodation is this amazing place only accessible by helicopter where you can enjoy the most incredible views and luxury while still have a wilderness feel that beats anything else. It’s a great combination and its one of a kind. Check out the website and book a weekend away.
We did this shoot a few weeks before they had open and just to fly in to the valley is an experience worth experiencing. I am due to do another shoot up there but we are waiting for the weather to clear up and give us some nice days and evenings for a shoot
