My Head is Jungle...

Recently, we went to Ibiza for a wedding - I know what you're thinking - how terrible, right?! Well, it was everything I dreamed it would be and more! It was my first time visiting this magical little island of music, fun and sun, so i was excited to say the least. When we pulled up to the dream mansion that the bride and groom were staying in with their beautiful friends and family, we knew the weekend was going to be special.

How often do you get to go to Pasha with your clients? Rad.

So, the wedding was beyond beautiful, the people were beyond amazing, and we have made friends for life! Can't wait to show you all the rest AND I can't wait to go back to Ibiza!!!!

Let's Dance All Night...

Lindsey and Matt are such a cool couple - they compliment each other perfectly, and it was so fun to be around them. During their wedding, they were giddy like little kids, so excited, and bubbling over with love for each other.

They had an amazing wedding, with some great weather and probably one of the best wedding bands ever! Here is their wedding film trailer…

So Happy Together...

Matt and Niccy are seriously so lovely. Two of the nicest people you could ever meet, with families and friends to match. I can't tell you how much fun we had with them on their wedding day - always up for anything, smiling and laughing the whole way through. Watching them together makes you giggle and smile, and really shows you what true love is all about. We are so happy to share this film with you today, and hope that you get that infectious perma-grin on your face too!

And That's How The Story Goes...

When you start shooting weddings, you work with lots of people you don't know, some that you do, and sometimes, you even get to work with family. It is a really hard decision to make when family is involved - do we work, or do we decide to be guests only? It is impossible to be both, which is why we don't really do it.

We did, however, make an exception to shoot my cousin Vivi's wedding. Part of me still would have liked to be just a guest, but I am so glad that we got to tell her story and put our stamp on it. I've known her since she was born, and it was a great honor. With that said, I hope we did her justice - here is Vivi and Chris.

From Sea To Shining Sea...

Happy Friday! We decided to kick off a weekend of awesome posts with this one, part 2 of Gabby and Matt's incredible wedding celebration! If you missed part 1, check it out HERE. This post is all about their traditional Coptic ceremony, held in Matt's hometown of Brighton. If you have never seen or been to one, it is one of the most beautiful, colourful ceremonies ever. Songs, incense, prayer, crowns, cloaks, and a reverent tradition that is mesmerising. I was like a kid in a candy store - had no idea what was coming next, but was in heaven. And can we talk about how beautiful these people are, please?!

Stay tuned for part 3, coming soon - their SECOND wedding in Miami! It won't disappoint!
