Capturing Memories in Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka its just stunning, the country, the people, the food, its easy to see why Azra & Dominic fell so in love with Sri Lanka. Destination wedding photography is always so exciting, going to new places, meeting and making new friends and more importantly making & capturing new memories.
Their wedding was a two part wedding at Trinco Blu by Cinnamon Hotels, the first being a traditional Sri Lankan Pourwa ceremony in the morning and then a western style wedding on the beach in the afternoon. A very proud father walked Azra to meet Dominic and on the white sandy beach with the glistening Bay of Bengal as the backdrop the wedding ceremony took place. The styling by Magical Moments was exceptional, and the celebration included:
- Tradition drummers and dancers
- Firebreathers and sparklers
- Cake cutting on the beach
- Open air dancing to a great band
Bahamas Wedding Photography and Planning
There is something very special about photographing a wedding in the Bahamas. Warm trade winds, powder soft sand, that unreal turquoise water and a pace of life that instantly slows everyone down. Victoria and Shelby’s wedding on Kamalame Cay, a private island retreat, was the perfect backdrop for a relaxed celebration with close family and friends. On private islands like Kamalame Cay you also get quiet, unspoilt stretches of beach and little sand roads lined with trees, perfect for unhurried portraits.
