Paige & Connor at Markovina Vineyard Estate - Young Love, A Lifetime of Memories
Young love is such a beautiful thing. Paige and Connor’s wedding at the stunning Markovina Vineyard Estate was more than just a celebration — it was the perfect way to mark the 10th anniversary of their very first date. A true high school sweetheart love story, filled with laughter, devotion, and the joy of family.
After days of non-stop rain, the skies opened just in time, blessing us with sunshine as if the universe itself was celebrating alongside them.
Both Paige and Connor were glowing with nervous excitement. Their two gorgeous little girls led the way down the aisle scattering petals (with one delightfully wandering off track!), before Paige made her breathtaking entrance in her gown — a moment of pure magic.
Markovina Vineyard never fails to impress, with its perfect balance of indoor and outdoor options. While we had rain plans in place, the sun meant we could capture golden group portraits and bridal party shots among the vines. What struck me most throughout the day was the way Paige and Connor’s love extended so deeply to their daughters. Even on their wedding day, their hearts and attention were always on making sure the girls felt happy and comfortable. It was moving, and spoke volumes about the kind of parents — and partners — they are.
As the evening light faded, we embraced the dusky skies with a little flash and creativity, creating romantic portraits before heading inside. After heartfelt speeches came a powerful haka, led by Connor’s father — a moment that left the room silent with awe.
Then the party began. With the help of their incredible celebrant and DJ, Gary the Marry, the dance floor came alive instantly. This family knows how to celebrate — there was laughter, there were tears, and there was dancing well into the night.
For me, it was an honour to capture every smile, every embrace, every joyful tear. These are the memories that will last a lifetime, a love story 10 years in the making and only just beginning.
Paige said “We had the absolute pleasure of working with Tony for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, his communication was exceptional, always prompt, clear, and so friendly. He made us feel completely at ease and was incredibly organised and reliable throughout the entire process.
On the day, Tony was an absolute dream to work with. Calm, professional, and full of positive energy, they captured every special moment so beautifully without ever feeling intrusive. The attention to detail and creativity in their shots are just amazing — we are genuinely blown away by the final photos!
If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also wonderful to work with, we couldn’t recommend Tony more highly. Thank you for helping make our day so special and for giving us memories we’ll treasure forever!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
