Markovina Wedding Photos

Photographed by Amber

When I joined Savannah on the morning of her wedding – everything was just kind of humming. Calm and under control – but you could feel how excited everyone was and that something pretty special was coming. Both Ryan and Savannah chose to have their family with them in their bridal party and Savannah had her brothers, sisters and parents helping her prepare for the day.
At one point as she was getting ready – I had to ask Savannah if she was a dancer – I don’t think I’ve ever come across such a graceful bride!
Ryan and Savannah chose the perfect spot for their winter wedding. Markovina looks stunning in any season and winter is no exception. It is set up for a cosy indoor ceremony – complete with fireplace and the vine covered reception area is always filled with sparkling lights.
We revisited some of my favourite spots – the tree lined path you’ll see during their photoshoot was planted by the owner Rina when she first started planning Markovina as a wedding venue. We took a quick drive to an overgrown orchard that I’ve been eyeing up for some time now! It was even more beautiful than I had expected (but I think the seriously striking bride and groom had something to do with that!)
The grand finale of the evening was Ryan and Savannah’s AMAZING first dance. I seriously don’t think I have ever heard such enthusiastic and impressed cheers from a wedding crowd – they nailed it!
Ryan and Savannah – thank you so much for sharing your wedding day with me. You guys rocked it!
