Destination wedding photographer Darmstadt, Germany
When Mirela & Marwin approached me saying they would like to have a documentary wedding photographer shoot their beautiful wedding at Hofgut-Dippelshof, in Darmstadt, Germany, I was beyond excited, not only because as a photographer I love traveling for events and photographing a destination wedding in Germany would be an amazing opportunity to add another location to my list of countries where I’ve shot destination weddings so far, but also because the wedding venue itself looked really really really nice. Hofgut-Dippelshof Hotel is an amazing wedding location in Germany, with a very large garden, perfect for outdoor weddings. There is a beautiful pond on the premises, lots of green space for kids to play and very lush greenery surrounding the entire place.
Mirela & Marwin’s day started with the bride and groom preparations, at the hotel. They were getting ready at the same time, but with their rooms being very close to each other, on the same floor, it was easy to cover both of them and get some beautiful documentary wedding photos.

Once ready, it was time for the reveal and outdoor wedding ceremony at Hofgut-Dippelshof Hotel. Mirela & Marwin hadn’t seen each other that day so they were both anxious for the first look. Mirela was so emotional getting ready to walk down the isle, with her mum by her side, while Marwin was also waiting anxiously along with the rest of the guests. It all made for a very sweet first look!

After the beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony, the champagne and cake cutting, we headed down onto a nearby golf course, for the most amazing sunset wedding photoshoot!
Mirela & Marwin wanted a natural and romantic wedding photoshoot and that’s exactly what we did. I loved spending this alone time with them and getting to see up close how amazing they are together.
It’s hard to put into words how incredible the light was that afternoon, but luckily I don’t have to, as I can simply let these images below speak for themselves! <3
Right after the wedding photosession at Hofgut-Dippelshof, Marwin’s best man offered them a beautiful moment, playing a couple of songs, right before Marwin’s dad took over and delivered an amazing speech that touched so many people, but especially Mirela, who was so emotional!

Right after, we all headed inside for more speeches, from the bride and groom, some food and then a beautiful first dance, followed by an incredible wedding party at Hofgut Dippelshof Hotel, which lasted well into the night! Everyone had an amazing time and there were so many people who just kept on dancing and having a blast. I really loved this wedding and I thank Mirela & Marwin for choosing me to be their wedding photographer and trusting me with their precious memories.

Fethiye Destination Wedding, Turkey
Andrada and Andi got married in beautiful Turkey, where they had the most amazing, intimate Fethiye destination wedding. The wedding was hosted at Sat Restaurant Beach Club, a fantastic wedding venue surrounded by water and amazing views. That's where we also did a fun and romantic beach wedding photoshoot.

Destination weddings are always fantastic and this holds true for Andrada and Andi’s wedding as well. They decided to ditch the cold and wet Uk and instead have a wonderful destination wedding in Fethiye, Turkey.
Unfortunately someone who couldn’t be there for the wedding, was their puppy, Salvador, however, he did take part in the amazing Tatton Park Engagement Photoshoot we did earlier in the year. I would’ve loved to see him in a bow tie though!
Their Fethiye destination wedding took place at the end of October, when the weather in the UK was really cold and miserable, so traveling out there where we had constantly 27-28 degrees was fantastic. I had never been to Turkey before, so when Andrada and Andi told me they want me to be their Fethiye Wedding Photographer, I was thrilled! I knew Turkey was a beautiful country, but to be fair I was really impressed when I got to Fethiye, I didn’t expect it to be so beautiful! You can see below why I am saying this, the place was gorgeous.

The day started with the bridal prep at the stunning Yacht Classic Hotel in Fethiye. Andrada’s bridesmaids and her 2 year old nice who was adorable, helped her get ready for the wedding, while I documented everything. The light coming through a round window in the room was gorgeous and created some beautiful light and shadow patterns when passing through the lace curtains.

After the reveal and a few photos with the bridesmaids and Andrada’s parents, we headed straight to the reception venue, the beautiful Sat Restaurant Beach Club in Fethiye. Everyone at the venue did a fantastic job and made sure Andrada and Andi get their dream Fethiye Destination Wedding. What also contributed to that was the absolutely amazing views all around the venue, which you can see below. For me as a Fethiye Wedding Photographer it was excellent because I had so much material to work with. Everything was perfect, the table decorations were lovely and they were put together by Andrada herself, and the lighting was superb, especially after the ceremony when the sun was lower in the sky.
The ceremony was very intimate and relaxed and it was officiated by Andi’s good friend, Steve. Andrada’s niece was the most adorable flower girl and Andi’s boys were the ringbearers. Everyone did a fantastic job.

After the beautiful ceremony and some food, I took Andrada and Andi away for a little bit and we took some fun and romantic wedding portraits on the beach and on one of the jetties at Sat Restaurant Beach Club in Fethiye. The golden light left nothing untouched as the sun went down and the newlyweds got a few moments alone and away from all the hustle and bustle back at the restaurant. We took a few very romantic and relaxed wedding photos on the jetty, then we went for a stroll along the beach before heading back for the main course.

In the evening, after the speeches, everyone let their hair down and partied for a few good hours. The music from the band was great, there was a lot of dancing and everyone had a blast. All along, Andi had planned a surprise for Andrada, so at the end, we all headed down to the beach, where a water taxi was waiting to take them back to the Yacht Classic Hotel where we photographed the bridal prep in the morning. After saying goodbye to everyone, the bride and groom left aboard the water taxi and with a salute from Andi and a fitting ‘Ahoy’ they slowly dissapeared into the night. Great way to end this amazing Fethiye Destination Wedding.

Hydra Island Wedding Photography, Greece
Natural and fun wedding photography on Hydra Island in Greece, featuring Irina and Vlad, some incredible locations and the most amazing soft light during the golden hour, captured up on the platform used by the Hydra Island Sunset Restaurant. What an incredible time we've had doing this Hydra Island Wedding Photoshoot!
Hydra Island wedding photography Greece
This is one of my favourite wedding photoshoots I have done so far and I don’t know if it was the wonderful landscape on Hydra Island, or the positive and happy energy of Irina & Vlad, but I loved every minute of being there and shooting with them. Irina wore what in my opinion is one of the best wedding dresses in her collection, which you can see on her website, The Last Human.
Both her and Vlad got ready on the boat and the photoshoot started as soon as Irina stepped off the boat with a giant sandwich that was immediately spotted by one of the probably hundreds of cats on the island. That ball of fur was adorable and I couldn’t help myself so I started shooting right away!
And I am so glad I did, as it led to capturing this lovely image below, which is definitely one that I am really proud of!

We started the photoshoot with a little refreshment break (classic) at a local bar next to the port, as it was a really beautiful and hot day and the barman offered Irina and Vlad a free drink when he saw them dressed as bride and groom - so here’s a tip, if you visit Hydra and want a free drink, just put on your wedding day outfit, sit down at the bar and wait. The free drinks will come your way. Make sure to have your favourite Hydra Island Wedding Photographer with you as well! *wink*
That’s me by the way, just in case you didn’t get the hint. I am sure you did, but just in case you didn’t. Okay, I’ll stop now, moving on.

From the bar we went for a walk around the beautiful stone paved streets around the bay, where Irina and Vlad were turning heads every step of the way. I didn’t mean for that to rhyme, but hey ho. We had people coming up to them to take photos, have a chat or simply congratulate them and some of these people were locals, tourists, some Ukranian blokes from the Ukranian sailing team and even Santa Claus who was on holiday in Greece. Just in case you have been wondering how he spends his time when not making toys.
After taking loads of beautiful and fun wedding portraits around the port, we slowly made our way up to the Hydra Island Sunset Restaurant which offers fantastic panoramic views of the island as well as over the sea. The name of the place is well earned as over the couple of days we were there, I witnessed some of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen. The golden light filtering down through the tree canopies was incredible that afternoon and this is definitely a dream spot for a Hydra Island Wedding Photographer.
Frederiksborg Castle Wedding, Hillerod Denmark
After the intimate and fun ceremony presented in part one of Liz and Tim’s wonderful wedding story, we went to Frederiksborg Castle in Hillerod, to do a romantic and relaxed wedding photoshoot.

This is part two of Liz and Tim’s wonderful wedding, carrying on from part one which was the story of their gorgeous rustic forest wedding, on the shore of beautiful Lake Esrum, in Gribskov Forest.
After their intimate and really fun ceremony was over, we all went to Hillerød, just north of Copenhagen for some beautiful Frederiksborg Castle Wedding Photography.
Frederiksborg Castle was built by King Christian IV in the 17th century and is the largest Renaissance complex in the Nordic region of Denmark. Since 1878 Frederiksborg Castle has been the home of National History Museum, housing over 500 years of Danish History under its roof.
We had a stroll around the beautiful gardens at Frederiksborg Castle and did some fun and relaxed wedding portraits, while also admiring the beautiful views over the lake and also stopping to take photos with a few Chinese tourists who were passing by and were shocked when they heard Liz (who is a polyglot) speaking Mandarin!

While we didn’t go inside the castle, walking around the outside was fantastic, there are so many beautiful places to stop and take photos, you just can’t run out of ideas! All the beautiful fountains, archways and decorations made it easy to create some natural and fun wedding photography at Frederiksborg Castle.

The gardens and the lake are just stunning and they offer some fantastic backdrops for beautiful Frederiksborg Castle wedding photography. We didn’t have a lot of time to cover the whole area, but if you do, I definitely recomend seeing both the Baroque Garden as well as the Romantic, English-style Garden as they are gorgeous.
I couldn’t believe how quickly the weather changes over there and this is something that any Denmark wedding photographer has to work around, but luckily for us, that afternoon stayed dry for the most part, although the sky was covered in some pretty angry looking grey clouds. That helped create cool, moody wedding photos, so I can’t really complain.
