Wild In White

What Wild In White does

Wild In White is a sole-proprietorship wedding and elopement videography business operated by founder Scott Latham from Wanaka in New Zealand's Central Otago region. The company produces cinematic wedding films and adventure-style elopement videos for couples marrying in Queenstown, Wanaka, and surrounding alpine locations, including helicopter-access sites such as Earnslaw Burn and Coromandel Peak. The core product is full-day videography coverage followed by personally edited films that blend a cinematic approach with documentary-style storytelling, delivered within an 8–12 week standard timeline via a private online gallery with legally licensed music.

The business model is direct-to-consumer and project-based: clients inquire through the website contact form, email, phone, or scheduled video consultations, then receive custom quote-based packages. Revenue is generated from one-time wedding and elopement packages, supplemented by optional post-wedding add-ons including Priority Editing (2-week expedited delivery) and Raw Footage on hard drive, plus $450/hour charges for extended coverage. All filming and editing is performed personally by Scott Latham, with no contracted shooters or external post-production.

Distribution is community- and referral-led rather than paid-media-led. Wild In White holds memberships in the Queenstown Wedding Association, the Wanaka Wedding Collective, and the Pride Pledge initiative, and operates referral relationships with at least six local photographers plus Heliworks as the recommended helicopter operator for remote locations. Marketing relies on a Tips & Info blog, an Instagram portfolio, a YouTube channel, and the Google Business listing (with 30+ five-star reviews) as primary demand channels. The company has no external funding, no headcount beyond the founder, and no public revenue disclosure.
