Tameka & Ethan’s Romantic Moraine Lake Elopement From New Zealand to the Rockies by Tanan Elopements

Under a soft, cloudy September sky, Tameka & Ethan traveled from Feilding, New Zealand, to the breathtaking shores of Moraine Lake to say “I do” in one of the most romantic and iconic places in the world. With no guests, no stress, and only the sound of the mountains and their vows, their ceremony reflected exactly what they envisioned — relaxed, calm, and romantic without being too cheesy.

💍 Their Love Story

Tameka and Ethan’s story is the definition of “meant to be.” They grew up together and went through every stage of school side by side. In their early twenties, after years of friendship and unspoken feelings, they finally took a leap and turned their bond into a romantic relationship — one of the best decisions they’ve ever made.

❤️ The Proposal

For this couple, the proposal wasn’t a surprise but a shared decision. While living in Canada, they knew they wanted to elope and began planning together. It was both exciting and a little scary to take such a big step, but as they say — they wouldn’t change it for the world.

🌿 The Ceremony

On their wedding day, the dramatic clouds over Moraine Lake added a cinematic atmosphere to their intimate ceremony. Their officiant honored their parents — Tameka’s mum Ruth, Ethan’s mum Katie, and dad Chris — even though they couldn’t be there in person. The couple exchanged vows, laughed, held hands, and embraced the stillness of the moment. Finally, they were introduced as Mr. and Mrs. Hodgson, surrounded by nature’s grandeur.

✨ What They Love Most About Each Other

Tameka on Ethan: “His dedication to everything he does is incredible. Whether it’s work, relationships, or rugby, he always puts his best foot forward. He’s the person everyone can rely on, and that’s something truly special.”

Ethan on Tameka: “She’s fearless in trying new things — from house renovations to snowboarding in not-so-ideal conditions. She’s strong-willed, loyal, and doesn’t take herself too seriously. I love her smile and her laugh, even if it’s usually at my expense.”
