Joyce and Alex were married at Markovina Vineyard Estate, an incredibly beautiful wedding venue in Auckland. Not only does the venue provide great options for the ceremony in both dry and wet weather, there are also a ton of options on-site when it comes to photography locations.
In the morning we started our day at the bride’s place as she got ready for the day. There was also a traditional Chinese tea ceremony for the bride’s family, before we made our way to Alex’s place to continue with the tea ceremony for his side of the family. We decided to get some wedding party photos done on our way to the ceremony, so that Joyce and Alex would have more time to mingle with friends and family after the ceremony, definitely a great idea!
We scored a great sunset too, and made sure we got some awesome photos before heading back to the reception. The guests were treated to a number of emotional (and very entertaining!) speeches by friends and family members. Towards the end of the day and much to Joyce’s surprise, Alex actually came up with a secret performance and it was done perfectly with the help of some of the boys!
What a special day to be a part of, thank you guys for having us and here’s a preview with more to follow!
