Kumeu Valley Estate (Auckland wedding photographers): Gen and Gerald

It’s always a pleasure to shoot in Kumeu Valley Estate, one of the popular locations with a rustic atmosphere in West Auckland, pleasure to photograph for all photographers.

This time Gen & Gerald come together to celebrate their special day with close friends and family (couple wish to not publish any photos with kids, and I respect their wish, even though children was so adorable!

Couple shared their story: “We met in the US at a NZ Embassy party on NZ election night in 2014 when he started his PhD and I was working there. We found out we had mutual friends and was sitting back-to-back at a wedding 3 years prior! Been together 11 years and 2 kids later, we finally making it down the aisle.” He proposed: “Rather last minute and in our true style awkwardly, in Manchester Garden Park picnic, he tried to keep it a surprise. He gave a lovely speech.”

It was a rainy day, but even rain can’t stand on the way of this beautiful celebration! This wedding was truly special as there was no family formals or couple shoot, as couple prefer to document the memories with their loved ones, with documentary approach. So we just been going with the flow.

Rainy day wedding in Mantells {weddings photography in Auckland}

It was a rainy day, but weather cant stand on the way of this beautiful celebration - Alyssa & Josh get married in Mantells surrounded by close friends and family. I shot many weddings this season, but doing photography in this rustic venue with character in Auckland is something special!

Everything been just gorgeous on this day! It was a pleasure for me to document the story of the day and capture all beautiful, emotional, real and natural moments with lots of love and laughter.

Couple shared their story: “Met at a bar in Ponsonby. Been together 10 years! Josh proposed in Vietnam while we were on holiday. After dinner at the resort we walked down to the water where he ordered 2 glasses of champagne at the outdoor bar which had been closed for a few days because of bad weather. They only had enough for one glass (which was flat and murky). We strolled down the beach with my flat champagne and Josh with his beer to a sun lounger where he proposed under the stars.” SO beautiful story!

Vanisha & Jason

It was a real pleasure to have met such an extraordinary couple!  Both their families and friends also, at their beautiful in-home engagement party in the couple's new house in Karaka, Auckland.  The engagement party came together with their housewarming event. 

It is always a big honour for me, as the photographer, to capture the bride and groom's story right from the beginning, following through the pre-wedding photo shoot and then to capture unique moments for them on their wedding day.

This party was just fantastic, full of warm and cozy atmosphere, laughter and special moments.
