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.
