Trelise and Alan: West Auckland - Markovina {Kumeu} wedding {New Zealand wedding photographers}

Excited to share with you a beautiful and emotional wedding: Trelise & Alan get married in Markovina Vineyard Estate {Kumeu, West Auckland - New Zealand} surrounded by close friends and families. It was such fantastic time and a great honour for us, their wedding photographers to capture all candid and raw moments.

The best thing we met on their engagement photo shoot on Piha Beach one year earlier and one of our photos even won an Iris Awards NZIPP. It was just fantastic!

The couple shared their love story and proposal: Alan proposed on our 1 year anniversary in Santorini, Greece in June 2016. We had woken up early to watch the sunrise, so the paths were empty except for us. It was beautifully quiet, a lovely warm temperature, and just such a beautiful moment. We were at a view point on the island, looking out towards all the white houses and blue roofs, with the sun rising behind them, and we had a blue domed house right next to us (which we now refer to as "Our Dome"). Alan got down on one knee, on a cobbled path, and had to wait a few moments for an answer from me as I thought I was still asleep and dreaming!! A beautiful stray dog was the only witness to our special moment. We then had a champagne breakfast at our Cave, and spent the rest of the day out on a catamaran exploring Santorini and swimming in the bluest of blue oceans." That's how couple described each other: "Alan re Trelise - caring, stubborn, beautiful, passionate, honest Trelise re Alan - loving, carefree, handsome, calm, loyal".

This wedding was a day of their lives!

News: We are back in Auckland! {New Zealand wedding photographers}

Hi everyone! You might be noticed it been quieter during last few days. The reason is - we have fantastic news - we are back in Auckland. Yes, as wedding photographers we are travelling all around New Zealand and beyond with destination weddings overseas, but most of our work and family is based in Auckland.

Hamilton has been kind to us during last two years - great community, everything handy, no much traffic :) But everything pushed us back in Auckland where our photography journey started.

We are still live on the boxes, such a hard job packing and unpacking, with next wedding shooting just in one day and meetings with awesome potential clients almost every day, it's been challenging, but hopefully will be rewarding too.

Our little ones happy to explore a new place and they got something new - a big bunk bed. What else can you wish for Christmas :) 

Looks like a community in Hobsonville, West Auckland is terrific too. Double bonus we not far from the great wedding venues in Kumeu and around the Rodney area, travel to Matakana or South Auckland not take much time either. Short stroll to North Shore or Auckland City as well.

Hopefully, dreams come true, but who knows where destiny line will move us next {it seems like two years living in each place is our tradition now :)

Excited to connect with more awesome clients up this way, in Auckland, Northland and all around New Zealand!

Warmly,

Olga & Matt

P.S.: Picture for attention with Jenna & Brodie on Raglan Beach. We truly appreciate all the opportunities that we got in Waikato with such amazing couples, nature and short drive to Tauranga, Rotorua and Taupo
