While some couples may pose for hours to capture perfect wedding photos, one newlywed pair have taken their quest for the perfect shot to the next level. 

Jialu and Xiaofeng Chen, who married in November in China, travelled to New Zealand for their honeymoon in March.

But instead of enjoying a relaxing, carefree holiday, the pair chose to use the scenic destination to pose for brand new wedding photos in their full wedding attire - and even admitted the photoshoot was one of the main reasons for the trip.

Quest for the perfect wedding photo: Jialu and Xiaofeng Chen, who married in November in China, travelled to New Zealand for their honeymoon in March and took photos to add to their wedding album 

The newlyweds arrived in Auckland on March 12, picked up their wedding outfits and hired a photographer and make up artist from Colour City Studio. 

They then travelled with their photographer, Kevin Wang, and the make up artist through the country to take a series of stunning and candid shots together. 

'They wanted to take photos in New Zealand because the landscape is so beautiful...it's not the first time this has happened,' Mr Wang told Daily Mail Australia.

Romantic: 'They wanted to take photos in New Zealand because the landscape is so beautiful...it's not the first time this has happened,' photographer Kevin Wang told Daily Mail Australia

'Depending on the weather I was taking around 180 photos per day to ensure the perfect photos so that they could show them to their family back home.'

Mr Wang said the most beautiful photos were taken at the scenic Lake Tekapo. 

'Everything about that location was perfect and it was so romantic for them,' Mr Wang said, 'It could have been their actual wedding day.'

Scenic: Mr Wang said Mr and Mrs Chen were not phased by rain or frosty mornings and were keen to capture the perfect photos to add to their wedding album

Tekapo Co-operating Parish committee member Graeme Murray told Stuff.co.nz that in summer at least one couple per day dressed in wedding clothes and took photos around the lake. 

'Some of them are here on the coldest mornings or frosty evenings. They come particularly early or late probably to miss the crowds,' he said. 

Mr Wang said Mr and Mrs Chen were not phased by rain or frosty mornings and were keen to capture the perfect photos to add to their wedding album. 

'It was very romantic and they had so much fun doing it too,' he said, 'It really is a fantastic way to guarantee a great mix of photos.'
