Elisa & Phil were married on a gorgeous summer day in New Zealand at a relatively new venue in Auckland, Abbeville Estate. It’s only about 20 minutes drive from the city, yet you feel like you are in the country. The 150 year old heritage listed buildings have been restored, making this place perfect for wedding celebrations. Elisa and Phil started their day with a sweet First Look in the Barn. Phil was in awe of Elisa – it’s easy to see why! She was the epitome of a graceful, elegant and beautiful bride. We had a few more photographs around the gorgeous property before the ceremony in the old chapel on the grounds. After walking down the aisle, they were free to celebrate their commitment to each other with their closest family and friends all afternoon and into the evening. Champagne, cocktails, live music, popsicles, finger food, picnic blankets, petanque and other lawn games made for a lovely afternoon under the big Puriri Tree. Elisa and Phil, it was an honour to capture your special day! I hope life always brings you sunshine, smiles and lots more picnic celebrations xx
