Do you remember our clients Louise and Paul from earlier this year?
They had their preWED photography session on Valentine's day by the sea in the UK as a prelude to their wedding at the Yacht Club at Cala d'Or on the Spanish island of Mallorca.
Mark Pugh takes up the story of their incredible destination wedding:
"I joined Louise and her bridesmaids at Di-Vin Wellness in Cala d'Or town centre where they were having their hair prepared for the day ahead. You could tell that Louise had planned everything to perfection, as there was an air of calm over the proceedings, and the depth of planning was to continue for the rest of the day, as I was to find out.
After a short taxi ride round the corner to the Yacht Club at Cala d'Or, the ladies and I made our way up to the penthouse bridal suite where Louise's mum joined us for make-up preparations and food. Whilst everyone was getting ready, I took the opportunity to photograph all of the dresses and flowers against the backdrop of the huge balcony, complete with an outdoor bed, which provided a sweeping panoramic view of the harbour below.
I took the short walk down the lawn below where Louise and Paul's friends and family, who had all made the journey from the UK, were gathering. With Paul and his best men in place, the bridesmaids, closely followed by Louise and her father, made their way down the red carpet in-between two swimming pools to the outdoor ceremony. The couple took the opportunity to write their own vows, and there was hardly a dry-eye by the time they had finished!
It was the attention to detail that made this day so special: Each guest was issued with identical white sunglasses, and there was a custom-made cushion for their rings, to name but two; there was so much thought put into every aspect of their day.
With the ceremony complete, the couple made their way up to the main terrace for drinks and formal photographs. I then took the the couple down to the marina, and after passing the local tourist train, we found a friendly English-speaking yacht owner who was more than happy to allow us to take photographs on his boat.
After returning to the Yacht Club complex, it was time for their wedding breakfast. Again, every detail of the room had been considered, and was based around a nautical theme. The couple had even used photographs from their preWED session as the table center-pieces. The room was complete with multi-coloured lighting, a cheesecake wedding cake and sweetie-table.
With the speeches complete, the couple were then more than happy to join me on the roof of the building for a series of stunning sunset photographs. It's worth noting that you get out of your wedding photographs what you put in, and by putting the time in, Louise and Paul were rewarded with this stunning set of photographs.
I left the wedding as the sun had set and everyone was dancing the night away.
A beautiful ending to an amazing day!"
Congratulations.
Louise and Paul are a fantastic couple who were completely committed to their photography, and it was an absolute pleasure for Mark Pugh to capture their wedding.
We wish them every happiness for the future, and we hope you enjoy viewing 200 plus firstLOOK wedding image previews.
