Gaan jullie trouwen in het buitenland? Dromen jullie van die ydillische Destination Wedding in het bourgondische Frankrijk, het pittoresque Italië? Of gaan jullie nog een stukje verder weg. Trouwen in Amerika, Canada, India, Thailand, het kan allemaal tegenwoordig. The sky is the limit!
Wat natuurlijk heel belangrijk is, is dat jullie Destination Wedding op de mooist mogelijke manier wordt vastgelegd, door een fotograaf die niet alleen een ongelofelijke hoop ervaring heeft met het fotograferen van bruiloften, maar die ook weet wat er komt kijken bij een bruidsreportage in het buitenland. Wanneer jullie een fotograaf ‘uit eigen land’ meenemen, dan scheelt dat bovendien een hoop risico’s. Gaan we samen op avontuur?
Enthousiast geworden?
After flying to South France in May last year, I was more than excited to go back to the Sunny South of Europe to shoot another Destination Wedding. Especially since Mellaney and Joachim are such a very nice couple. You can understand that I did a little dance when they decided to book as their France wedding photographer.
So, off I went. From Roermond to Schiphol Airport, to Bordeaux. From Bordeaux about a 2 hour drive through the beautiful French scenery. I love driving, especially in a region like this, and surely you can imagine that I couldn’t wait to shoot Mellaney and Joachim’s destination wedding. One day later, that moment had arrived. It was a bit nerve-wrecking, since the weather forecasts had been changing constantly. But in the end, the day could not have been more perfect. It started upon arrival at the absolutely stunning Château Camp del Saltre. What a gem this castle is! But other than a stunning setting, the atmosphere was just wonderful. The guests were still enjoying their breakfast, and people were playing some music here and there. I love it when there’s musicality among the guests! To arrive in such an atmosphere almost feels like coming home, and the rest of the day was no different. The wonderful couple, the very kind guests, the beautiful wedding ceremony by Mark from Mooi Trouwen, delicious food and an amazing party with live music from The Candy Stripes. The day ended in style with the couple and guests released wedding balloons. It was a perfect end to a perfect day. To this day I still look back with great joy :-)
