Diane and Conor contacted me about a year ago via email. We had a chat on the phone and immediately I was excited about this wedding. Their ceremony was to be held in Casa de los Bates. A part time residential object for the family of the ex minister of education in Spain. This beautiful house is surrounded by fabulous gardens, ideal for a cocktail reception and outdoor dining.
The trip to house of the bride, Nerja, was a lovely trip. While living and working in Spain you don’t often get the opportunity to stop, enjoy and appreciate the vistas around you. The trip was a couple of hours but well worth it.
After arriving at the brides house and having a cool drink shooting started. The atmosphere was very relaxed and this feeling continued throughout the day. After the prep shots we drove to Casa de los Bates where we got shots of the guests having a drink and a chat. The ceremony was held in some kind of large but picturesque arbor (large enough to seat the close family) that was covered with climbing plants.
After the ceremony we made good use of all the shade available because it was a hot day (about 34 degrees,..think about that if you plan on having your wedding on the Costa Del Sol in July/August when you are buying your wedding dress or wedding suit – Diane knew exactly what she was doing but of course many of the guys suffered 😉 On the other hand maybe the guys didn’t listen to the advice their better half gave them?). The heat didn’t spoil any of the fun and thanks to Jenny from ‘Spanish Wedding Planner’ things went very smooth.
During the speeches the groom of course was suitably embarrassed,..great Star Wars kit you had there bud!
Dear Diane and Conor, we had a great time shooting your wedding for you, Costa del Sol is such a lovely place. Thank you for letting us document your big day. The rest of the images will be available for you later this afternoon!
