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.
