Kristy & Frank — Markovina Vineyard Estate Wedding, Auckland

Their Love Story

Kristy and Frank’s journey began over a decade ago at university, where two aspiring chefs found themselves cooking side by side in the campus café. What started as teamwork in the kitchen soon grew into something much deeper — a partnership built on love, trust, and shared dreams.

Over the years, their culinary skills evolved, but so did their bond. Kristy’s delicate artistry with pastry perfectly complemented Frank’s flair for bold flavours and precision. Together they discovered that their greatest recipe wasn’t one crafted in the kitchen, but the life they built hand in hand.

After ten years of growing, working, and dreaming together, their wedding at Markovina Vineyard Estate in Auckland was the perfect celebration of their love — simple, elegant, and deeply meaningful.

Their Wedding Day

For Kristy and Frank, their wedding was more than just a celebration — it was a long-awaited reunion with loved ones from overseas, many of whom they hadn’t seen in years. The day was filled with laughter, emotion, and heartfelt connections, beautifully set against the backdrop of Markovina’s lush vineyards.

They wanted their wedding to feel fun, relaxed, and full of candid moments to look back on in the years to come. The aesthetic was neat, soft, elegant, and classy — a timeless style that reflected their personalities and love story perfectly.
