Erin Hill

Secretary

Hello, I’m Erin: a celebrant, mother of three, and wife to one. My role here on the QWA committee is as part of the QWA events team.  If there is anything you would like to see us organise for the benefit of the QWA community or if you’d like to be involved and sponsor an event please let me know, I am all ears!

I am a trained independent celebrant, and I am completely dedicated to co-creating bespoke ceremonies, carefully undertaking guidance from my couples.  Fun fact – I met Stevie Wonder while I was working for Airnz, and he insisted that I jotted down his very own Chilli Jam recipe, a recipe I still use today.

My friends describe me as an adrenaline junky.  Skiing water and snow, biking, fast cars, parachutes, sailing and hiking holidays bring it on, I am up for it all.

Emma Keirle

Membership Development

Hi, I’m Emma, a wedding and elopement photographer based here in Queenstown. With over a decade of experience and a deep love for storytelling, I specialise in capturing real, heartfelt moments that reflect the true spirit of each couple I work with. My style blends authenticity with artistry—focused on creating timeless images filled with emotion, connection, and natural beauty.

As part of the Queenstown Wedding Association committee, I’m passionate about supporting and growing our incredible local wedding community. I’m committed to helping couples from all over the world experience the magic of Queenstown and ensuring their wedding journey is as joyful and memorable as the day itself. It’s a privilege to collaborate with such a talented group of local vendors, and I’m excited to continue contributing to our vibrant, world-class wedding destination.
