A beautiful love journey to the alter – Tonie and Eak

Love Journey to the alter…

Tonie and Eak: a love journey, a beautiful couple, a couple that you just know were destined for each other.
We were the fortunate ones as we had the opportunity to play a special part in their day, having chosen the Rotunda at Holroyd Gardens as their location for their Wedding Ceremony. Also, we will forever be grateful that they have been so willing to share their story with us! We hope you will enjoy reading their love journey to the alter…

Holroyd Gardens – Great Photo Location

Great photo location.

Be just like Kevin and Lily and take a trip to Holroyd Gardens. Say ‘I do’ in the picturesque rotunda ceremonial area or simply use Holroyd Gardens as an engagement, pre-wedding or wedding photo location and take advantage of the historical site and old brick-pit.

Here is a little diary entry from Kevin about how he proposed to Lily:

“My girlfriend and I decided to go on a trip to Europe together as our first overseas holiday, and while I was organising the holiday I decided that it was the perfect time to propose to her at a beautiful place in Cinque Terre Italy, somewhere we both always wanted to go. When we arrived in Cinque Terre, it was the most perfect day and we had dinner at a seaside italian restaurant before we headed back to our villa overlooking the water. I had wrote a nice letter to her which had some photos of our journey together, which I gave her and I asked her to read it out loud. She thought nothing of it until she got to the end of it, and I bent down on one knee and pulled out a ring, which I hid from her for 3 weeks in my camera bag while we were travelling! She was speechless but could let out one word “yes!”

We would like to sincerely thank Kevin for his contribution to our page and Images by Kevin for the photos that capture the beauty of Holroyd Gardens with is historical charm.
