Chayna + Michael | Tuscany Estate Vineyard Wedding — Bec Essery | Newcastle & Hunter Valley Wedding & Elopement Photographer

Chayna and Michael had one of the most perfect days I’ve had the pleasure of photographing. Blessed with great weather, we started the morning at Tuscany Estate in the Hunter Valley, where everyone was enjoying the morning having their hair and makeup done, nervously writing speeches, exchanging gifts and excited giggles. Chay looked breathtaking as she floated on down the stairs in her amazing dress, and then before you know it, it was off to the church to become a Mrs!

After the ceremony and an awesome ride in the wedding kombis – it was back to the party at Tuscany, and Chay being the ever organised bride she was, had me a list of family photos she wanted and where she wanted them taken. This honestly was such a bonus for me. I think hands down, aside from the ceremony, the family photos are the most important photos of the day, and she made sure everyone nailed them! The rest of the evening flew by – with the amazing venue decked out with festoon lights and an outdoor reception that was just divine by the super talented Crab Apple Vintage. (and Chay’s mum sang their first dance song <3)

Such a beautiful day to be a part of – and not because it was so aesthetically pleasing. Or because they were very photogenic, or had some awesome vendors. But as always, it’s such a joy to witness the relationships, friendships and the genuine love shared between everyone for such a happy celebration of two very deserving people.

Chayna and Michael, thanks for having me along. x
