Engagement photoshoot in Santorini

Santorini, Greece, is truly the stuff dreams and fairytales are made of: an incredibly beautiful volcanic island surrounded by the crystal clear blue waters of the Aegean, bathed in the bright Greek sunlight and enveloped in the magic of ancient myths and legends. No wonder it is one of the most popular wedding destinations worldwide! This is the place Jin and Nancy chose for their engagement photoshoot. The lovely young Asian couple, who traveled all the way from Los Angeles, had planned everything down to the smallest detail… Except for one little detail that Nancy was not aware of: Jin intended to take her to her favorite restaurant… and propose to her over dinner! He informed me of his intentions through a separate e-mail, and I was delighted that I would witness such a unique moment. I got to the restaurant a few minutes before them and prepared to capture the scene with my camera. My heart was pounding in excitement. A sweet couple in love and a surprise marriage proposal in one of the most romantic places in the world is the best theme a wedding photographer could wish for! Everything went according to plan. And naturally, she said yes…

The photoshoot of the following day went perfectly smoothly too. Nancy and Jin, against a backdrop of blue skies and seas and the dazzling white of the traditional Cycladic architecture, looked awesome together. And thanks to them, their photos could be nothing less than awesome!

Dear Nancy & Jin, thank you so much for honoring me with your trust and for allowing me to tell your beautiful love story through the lens of my camera.

Heart-warming wedding at home

Amanda and Vincent had an opportunity; being offered their parent’s beautiful French country house as a venue for their wedding. Having many friends and a big family, this happened to be the perfect solution. To celebrate the day, they chose a “tropical” theme. Flamingos, pineapples, palm trees and a swimming-pool were just some of the highlights of the party….

A Wedding Photoshoot in Santorini – Greece

A great wedding photoshoot of Ken and Chiaki that came from Japan to the island of Santorini in Greece to have their photoshoot there. Everything was just magnificent! The couple, the scenery, the light, the sea and finally the sunset!

Wedding at Matorca, Bucerías Nayarit in México

Martoca Beach Garden is a beautiful secluded beach and garden, surrounded by amazing large palm trees. It is a great venue for a non-resort private Puerto Vallarta beach wedding and a fantastic scenery for a photographer like me.

A lot of souvenirs were created that day: from Emanuel’s tears to his father’s ones, or the strong hugs that Cara shared with her new family, a lot of feelings were expressed. It is said that men should not cry, but how nice it is to see a man mourn for love in his statement. Seeing that every word transcends someone is not an easy thing to witness, and taking photos of those tears made me feel like I wanted to part aside and respect the emotion in a so intimate moment. But as a photographer, I had to shut down my emotions, let them get to me and have them get me closer to the core of the person I had to photograph.

The climate conditions were almost perfect as it usually is in November in Banderas Bay and we had the chance to have a cloudless evening that allowed me to play with the reflections on the pool during sunset. Another detail that will let me a special memory is Cara’s twin. It is not common to have a wedding with twins, and I must confess it is a lot of fun. It was a real pleasure to work for Cara & Emmanuel, an exceptional and very loving couple. Our best wishes at the start of their life together!

Sherborne Castle Wedding Photographers

Its was our first time shooting as Sherborne Abbey Wedding Photographers, Dorset and one that proved to leave a last impression. The former Ancestral home of Sir Walter Raleigh, built in 1594, with landscaped grounds designed by Capability Brown – it’s a stunning part of the UK.

Sophie & Allen had a church service wedding ceremony at St Mary Magdalene, a short distance from the Castle. The wedding reception was held in a marquee on the Castle grounds.

What stands out from their wedding day is how expressive they were as a couple. Jointly punching the air after the church service, the joyful look on the brides face when showing the new ring off to her bridesmaids, the confetti shot, even the cake cutting.

Numerous stages that often ebb from one to another, but these guys shot their ‘lust for life’ into it all. Great day & fun to capture.
