Auckland Wedding | Markovina Estate

Erandi and Anthony

Erandi and Anthony’s wedding at Markovina Estate in Auckland was everything they had envisioned — relaxed, fun, and full of love. After the long lockdowns, their day was not only about celebrating their marriage but also about reconnecting with family and friends they hadn’t seen in so long.

The couple first met in Wellington back in 2015, and their relationship has been built on shared experiences, laughter, and a love that has only grown stronger with time. Their wedding felt like a natural extension of who they are together — easygoing, thoughtful, and full of joy.

A Simple and Elegant Celebration

The theme of the day embraced natural white and cream tones, creating a look that was simple, elegant, and timeless. Markovina Estate, with its beautiful gardens and serene setting, was the perfect venue to bring their vision to life. Guests were welcomed into a celebration that felt warm, inviting, and filled with genuine happiness.

The Atmosphere at Markovina

As the evening unfolded, the atmosphere at Markovina Estate was alive with laughter, clinking glasses, and the hum of conversations as friends and family reconnected. The reception struck the perfect balance of elegance and fun — heartfelt speeches gave way to dancing, while the glow of soft lighting and the natural beauty of the venue created a warm, intimate feel. It was the kind of atmosphere where everyone felt both celebrated and at home, a true reflection of Erandi and Anthony’s personalities.

Although the focus was on spending time with loved ones, Erandi and Anthony also kept the door open for a few golden hour portraits — if the sunset showed up, they were happy to sneak away briefly for a handful of photos before rejoining the party. It was the perfect balance between capturing special moments and being fully present at the reception.

The result was a wedding day that felt effortless yet deeply meaningful — a celebration of love, togetherness, and new beginnings after a season of waiting.
