Chateau Giscours Wedding Photography | Caroline & Anthony (Part 2)

September was a busy month for me travelling to weddings in Lisbon, Bordeaux and Santorini and it was amazing to be thrust into new cultures and working with the different lights and backdrops in some of the most beautiful places in Europe. Caroline and Anthony chose a venue local to where they both grew up, Chateau Giscours, for their wedding photography

Chateau De La Bourdaisiere Wedding Photography ~ Destination wedding Photography France ~ Marie Isabel & Nicolas

The wedding celebrations of Marie-Isabel and Nicolas at Chateau Bourdaisiere near Nimes, France.  Beautiful from start to finish with every detail so well thought out with nods to Marie-Isabel's parent's wedding.  The day started with a traditional ceremony and went through to the amazing Earth Lights Boogie Band til the early hours.

Ryan & Annelise | New Zealand Garden Wedding - Destination wedding photography

I had the wonderful privilege of second shooting for the very talented international wedding photographer Nisha Ravji back in January and February in New Zealand.  She got in touch with me back at the start of 2013 and floated the idea of us working together, which we have subsequently done in both London and New Zealand now.  She has taught me so much both about life and photography and she continues to inspire me daily.  When she told me about this wedding I jumped at the chance to second photograph for her - Ryan and Annelise are obviously absolutely gorgeous, the wedding took place in Annelise's family garden and it was like a fairytale.  Such a fun wedding to photograph and I love shooting outdoors - beautiful light, space and the atmosphere is just so relaxed.

NATASHA + ANDREW | DESTINATION WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY - AUCKLAND

In my quest to add a few more destination weddings to my list of those around Europe and Scotland I jumped at the chance to have the opportunity to visit and photograph some weddings in New Zealand with my good friend Nisha Ravji.  When she messaged to say she had found a wedding for me to shoot I was over the moon.  After chatting over Skype Tasha and Andrew, both jockeys now living and racing in Macau, they booked me for their outdoor wedding at Belsaas Estate; a kiwi fruit orchard near Auckland. I’ve shot all sorts of weddings but I have to say that these two were quite possibly the most relaxed couple I have photographed!  The whole day and the photography went so smoothly.  Maybe it’s something about being in the outdoors – and not facing the craziness of the British weather (the last wedding I did before leaving the UK was in a horrendous downpour and gale force winds!).   I’ve now got a real taste for destination wedding photography!
