The Hilltop Wedding Photographers

Kia ora, we’re Robin + Andie, wedding photographers and videographers who love capturing weddings and elopements at The Hilltop in Akaroa, New Zealand. Set high above Akaroa Harbour, The Hilltop offers panoramic views across Banks Peninsula and a relaxed, intimate setting that suits couples wanting a celebration with a real sense of place.

The Hilltop is a hilltop wedding venue overlooking Akaroa Harbour, with open skies, sweeping views and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. It suits couples planning a wedding or elopement that feels unhurried and grounded in place. The Hilltop is run by the team behind 5th Street, a highly regarded Christchurch restaurant, meaning exceptional food and thoughtful hospitality are a key part of the experience.

Our approach to The Hilltop wedding and elopement photography and videography is natural, documentary-led and unobtrusive. We focus on capturing genuine moments as they unfold, allowing the day to flow without interruption. This approach works particularly well at The Hilltop, where the setting and atmosphere do much of the storytelling.

We’re known for delivering Wedding Photos With Good Vibes®, creating a calm, supportive presence while documenting the emotion, energy and connection of your day.

We work with natural light, unposed interactions and relaxed portraits, making the most of The Hilltop’s harbour views, open spaces and surrounding Banks Peninsula landscape. With two experienced photographers, we capture multiple perspectives and ensure no important moment is missed.

If you’re planning a wedding or elopement at The Hilltop, we’d love to tell your story and capture your day in a way that feels honest, relaxed and true to you.
