2023 Night Shoot Policy Update
For all new bookings, Night Shoots will only be available during the winter months between June~September.
Additional wait time past the first 60mins, will be charged at NZ$150 per 15min block, if clouds persist.
Milkyway Night Shots are very exclusive.
3 things must align, for the perfect shot to happen.
Light Polution
In Big cities with many street lights, cars and brightly lit buildings, it is impossible to take photos with the stars. We are very lucky to have our bases in Queenstown and Tekapo, which are dark enough at night to get magnificent views like this.
Moon Phase
The Moon creates huge light pollution too, so this photoshoot can only happen either before or after the moon has set, or on a night with a New Moon (about 3 days per month).
Weather
Last but not least, if it is cloudy we won’t be able to see any stars.
