Lulu and Kurt had their beautiful winter wedding at Kumeu Valley Estate. To keep everyone warm, they had an indoor ceremony. Annette and her team from Kumeu Valley Estate went the extra mile to help out with the decorations and candles. The setup was beautiful.

In New Zealand, winter daylight is a lot shorter than in the summer, especially with daylight saving. So, I suggested having a first look and photos earlier before the ceremony. However, Kurt, the groom, wanted to keep the tradition and not see Lulu until the ceremony. So, we managed to have the bridal party photos and the groom and his boys' photos done in the morning, saving more time for Kurt and Lulu's photos later.

We were blessed with the weather; it was raining and windy the days before their wedding. On their wedding day, the weather was calm, and the day went so smoothly as they had planned.
