Destination Wedding Photography in Zante – Grant and Kristina

GRANT AND KRISTINA’S DESTINATION WEDDING – ZANTE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Earlier this year I had the pleasure of being flown out to the Greek island of Zante to photograph Grant and Kristina’s wedding. This so-called job of mine can be challenging at times. There’s long, unsociable hours and many of them sat staring at a computer. Saying that I can’t think of many jobs quite like it. It was sat on a boat in bright blue waters of the Mediterranean, just off the coast of Zante I came to the conclusion that my job actually is the best one I could wish for.

I spent three days in Zante for Grant and Kristina’s destination wedding. The day before the big day I was invited to join them on a boat trip. I politely accepted their invitation and took along my cameras.

On the day of the Zante wedding I met up with the groomsmen at their hotel (and waterpark) – Aqua Bay in the lovely little town of Tsilivi. Needless to say we had a good laugh with a bit of footy down at the beach before the boys hit a few of the water slides. It was a tad more chilled for Kristina and her bridesmaids. Plenty of pampering and bubbles before heading off on the short drive to their idyllic venue. Their ceremony and evening reception was held at the magnificant Porto Azzuro Beach Bar Restaurant which is located near the small town of Vasilikos, in the southeast of Zakynthos.

After a gorgeous wedding ceremony on the beach Grant, Kristina and their guests devoured delicious food, threw back plenty of alcohol and danced into the early hours. I had such an amazing couple of days with these guys. I cannot thank them enough for having me along to capture it for them. It was humbling being welcomed in by everybody and meeting some wonderful people. Grant and Kristina are so lucky to have such fantastic friends and family that made the journey with them.

It’s hard to put into words just how much fun I had at Grant and Kristina’s Zante wedding. I’m hoping that the photo’s that follow will do all of the talking for me.

Paphos Destination Wedding Photography – Mike and Karen

PAPHOS WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

It was an absolute pleasure to be back in Cyprus recently to shoot the wedding of Mike and Karen. It was my first time in Paphos, having previously shot weddings in Limassol, and I absolutely loved the place. I have been lucky enough to have captured two other Cyprus weddings over the past few years so it was awesome to be back in such a wonderful country.

Mike and Karen’s Paphos wedding had everything (and more) I have come to expect from a destination wedding. It had a gorgeous venue, wonderfully tasty food, insane light and most of all crazy-lovely people.

Mike and Karen were married at the stunning Alexander The Great Hotel. I spent the day with them, starting with the boys in the morning. We spent a little bit of time over in a local bar, playing pool and sampling the local beer. After the boys were ready I headed to meet the girls in their room for some pampering, laughter and plenty of bubbly.

Their ceremony took place on the Unity Terrace which offered gorgeous sea views. In between the drinking and celebrating I was able to steal Mike and Karen for a few portraits before they sat down to enjoy an extremely impressive wedding breakfast. As the day was drawing to an end we were treated to a blast of my favourite kind of light so we nipped down to the beach for some portraits on a rock jetti. One of which was the image at the top of this blog, which I was made up to have won a Wedisson Award for just a few weeks ago.

DESTINATION WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

I love shooting weddings abroad and getting to be Mike and Karen’s Paphos wedding photographer was a so much fun. Destination weddings don’t only allow me to visit new places but let me explore the culture of weddings in other countries.

I cannot thank Mike and Karen enough for flying me out to such a beautiful part of the world and giving me the freedom to tell the story of their wonderful wedding.
