When I was approached by the Monaco wedding planner Sabine
from Avalon Event Organization (www.avaloneventsorganisation.com)
I never expected that the request for a destination wedding photography in Cote
d’Azur will become a three day job between Swiss and South of France. But I
certainly can’t complain as the couple were the most chilled out clients I’ve
ever worked with. It might also be the fact that it was the second marriage for
both of them. In any case I had an amazing time to shoot this destination
wedding photography in Switzerland and the French Riviera.
The bride and her children started to get ready in a
beautiful suit in the centre of Zurich. The bride’s dress was absolutely
amazing and her shoes were custom made and I Ioved the fact that they were flat
and not the usual high-heels. Carnation is not a flower that I have seen used
much in weddings but I think the choice was beautiful and suited the bride’s
style perfectly. And the round bouquet for her daughter was just exquisite.
The civil ceremony took place just outside of Zurich. We did
the family photos by the lovely church next to the town hall. Unfortunately the
client preferred not to have a photography session of the two of them as they
just preferred to have a lot of casual photos with their friends. The civil
ceremony was followed by a beautiful and intimate lunch in the outskirts of
Zurich. Following the lunch we flew to Cote d’Azur where the main wedding
celebration was to take place the following day.
I certainly love doing destination wedding
photography but it was certainly a unique experience to photograph a wedding in
between two countries. It was my first time in Zurich and I totally loved the
quiet and relaxed atmosphere of the town. Most of my destination wedding
photography is on the French Riviera but I would be glad to do another
destination wedding photography in Switzerland as the place had lovely spots for wedding
photography.
