Our Top Picks for Stunning Photos!

Hey there, photo enthusiasts! It’s Carissa from Happy Fox Photography Studio, and today I’m going to let you in on a little secret – some of the most stunning photography locations right here in our beautiful Tasman region. Whether you’re a pro with a fancy camera or just love snapping pics on your phone, these spots will make your photos pop!

1. Abel Tasman National Park

First up, we’ve got the jewel in Tasman’s crown – Abel Tasman National Park. With its golden beaches, turquoise waters, and lush native bush, it’s a photographer’s dream come true. My top pick? Anchorage Beach at sunset. The way the light dances on the water is pure magic!

2. Kaiteriteri Beach

Next on our list is the stunning Kaiteriteri Beach. Those golden sands and crystal-clear waters make for some seriously dreamy shots. Pro tip: head there early morning or late afternoon for the best light and fewer people in your shots.

3. Mapua Wharf

For a change of pace, check out Mapua Wharf. It’s got that charming, rustic vibe that looks amazing in photos. The old boats, the bustling cafes, and the sparkling estuary – it’s a great spot for capturing some local flavour.

4. Takaka Hill

Now, if you’re after some epic landscape shots, Takaka Hill is your go-to. The views from up there are out of this world! On a clear day, you can see all the way to the mountains of Kahurangi National Park. It’s especially beautiful during golden hour.

5. Riwaka Resurgence

For something a bit different, head to Riwaka Resurgence. This magical spot where the river emerges from the marble cave is simply breathtaking. The crystal-clear water and the lush green surroundings make for some truly enchanting photos.

6. Rabbit Island

Last but not least, we’ve got Rabbit Island. With its long stretches of beach, pine forests, and the ever-changing Waimea Estuary, it’s perfect for family shots or moody landscapes. Plus, it’s great for a picnic after your photo session!

Remember, folks, while these spots are amazing, the best photos come from the heart. It’s not just about the location, but the moments and emotions you capture. That’s what we’re all about at Happy Fox Photography – creating memories that’ll make you smile for years to come.

So, grab your camera (or your phone), round up your loved ones, and let’s explore these beautiful Tasman locations together! And hey, if you want some pro tips or fancy a guided photo session at any of these spots, you know who to call. Happy snapping, Tasman!
