AnaLui_Tamarin&Peter_Ibiza_18

I was super excited when these photographs arrived in my inbox! The first of three engagement shoots which were won by our readers… the very talented Ana Lui very kindly offered free engagement shoots to three lucky readers at a location of their choice in Ibiza.

Tamarin and Peter are planning their wedding in Ibiza for June 2012 and travelled over to Ibiza recently for a wedding planning trip to meet their suppliers and also chose to meet up with Ana for their shoot.

I really love these images, Tamarin and Peter look like they had great fun on the shoot. They even braved the sea at the end of their shoot, I’m sure the waters were very chilly this time of year!


The photo shoot was great, Ana is excellent at putting you at ease. I was really worried about having ‘natural’ photos taken, I am usually the ultimate poser in photos, and was worried about all the bits I don’t like about myself being on show. Luckily Ana is so brilliant at capturing emotion and at making you feel beautiful! I am so happy with the photos her general direction was really useful but being able to play around and be ourselves was so much fun!

Friday’s FAB 5

This week on Fly Away Bride I’ve looked at amazing couture gowns from the Alexander McQueen Autumn Winter 2011 Collection, perfect for a winter wedding. Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen hads been hotly tipped to be designing Kate Middleton’s wedding gown.

I was delighted to share Louise and Andre’s Boardwalk Engagement Shoot, down by the sea in South Africa, photographed by Christine Meintjes.

I was dreaming of Italy with this romantic Tuscan Villa Wedding by Caught The Light, so beautiful!

Next on our wedding list of thing to oragnise is transport, so I’ve been looking at the different option to Get Me To The Church in Style!

AnaLui_07

I’m so delighted to introduce Ana Lui Photography as one of Fly Away Brides sponsors. Based in Ibiza, Ana Lui captures stunning weddings all over the island and is also available to travel abroad for your special day.

I’m super excited about Ana Lui’s very generous reader giveaway!

Can you tell us a little about Ana Lui Photography and what you offer?

At the moment our team consists of myself Ana Lui, and Eva Kriuper.
We both graduated from Art Universities, which makes us a little bit geekier than other photographers we know… we love research and we love experiments !
I started my career in 2007 as a second photographer and location manager/production assistant in Ibiza, Spain. In May 2011 I will be opening my own photography studio and also for the year 2011 we are officially fully booked!
We also have Giacomo Gex on board, he joined us last year. Giacomo is a freelance videographer who enjoys working with us and makes wedding videos that make people cry… cry with joy and happiness!
So to sum it up we offer wedding photography, portraits, family shots, fashion portfolio books, video and also amazing hand made album and frames which we import form the UK.

What is your approach to photographing weddings and what is your preferred style?

My style is quite modern, relaxed, unobtrusive and fun! It’s all about you and your special day and I am there to capture your emotions, your love, your closest family and friends. I make sure I am almost invisible so the shots that I’m getting are as natural as possible. Eva and I understand each other well and we have the same aesthetic ideas and sensitivity! So our photos have similar style!


Where are you based and what cities/countries are you available to for work in?

I am based in Ibiza between May and November but from November till May I can shoot pretty much anywhere you want me to be. I have shot weddings in the UK, Poland, Dubai and Spain. Eva does a few weddings back home in Holland where she lives in the winter.
