Natalie Anise, 28, and Andrew Fitzsimons, 36, don’t mind traveling half the world for their wedding in September. Their destination, Larnach Castle in New Zealand, is straight out of “Lord of the Rings.” The region’s sheer cliffs overlook the wild Otago Peninsula.

Ms. Anise is originally from California and Mr. Fitzsimons grew up in New Zealand; they live in Brooklyn. She works as a digital marketer, he as an actor and boxing coach.
