Today we have Whitney and Tim’s wonderful nautical feel harbor wedding complete with a FAB first look. One Eleven Images, their very talented photographers tell us a bit more about their special day…
“We first met Whitney and Tim when we had the pleasure of shooting their engagement photos for them. We all instantly got along and had a great shoot in downtown Boston. We were lucky enough to be invited up to their wedding at the Seabasco Harbor resort in Maine for their wedding. The morning started off with a round of golf with the boys, followed by a relaxed and friendly few hours of getting ready. They chose to do a “first look” shoot and having the extra time to make some great portraits of the two of them in and around the grounds of the resort was great. Their ceremony was officiated by a great mutual friend and had plenty of great personal stories and laughs. The night continued with a great cocktail hour right by the ocean and a reception that was filled with dancing.”

I am so excited to share this very intimate destination wedding with you today. If you have been considering a destination wedding with only the two of you, you will definitely find Eva and Gregor’s wedding an inspiration. Photographed by Christine Meintjes their wedding ceremony took place in front of Cape Town’s majestic mountains.
“Eva & Gregor are both mountain climbers and after climbing Mount Everest and many other well known mountain ranges, the couple decided to visit South Africa and climb all over the country. Their final stop before going back to Slovenia was Cape Town. In the planning of the trip, they decided to add something special to the occasion and get married!”

While doing some blog surfing last week I came across Huda and Valerio’s Marrakech Palace Hotel Wedding on OMG I’m Getting Married and my jaw nearly hit the floor! Their reception is so so stunning, the flowers amazing and the venue just beautiful, luxury at it’s finest!
When I saw that Boutique Souk had planned Huda and Valerio’s wedding I immediately jumped onto their website where I spent quite some time swooning over the beautiful wedding images. Intrigued about their service and the exotic weddings they have planned I contact Rosena, who also happens to be Irish, and asked if she could tell me more about Boutique Souk and what is involved in planning a wedding in Morocco…
Can you tell us about Boutique Souk and what you offer?
We are a bespoke wedding planner, creating special events here in Marrakech and also at the coast and Atlas mountains of Morocco. We have an international team, headed by Irish woman Rosena McKeown.
Where are you based and what cities/countries are you available to plan weddings in?
We are based in Marrakech providing a hands-on service for planning and also during the wedding event. We also plan in other popular Moroccan destinations such as Essaouira (the coast) and the Atlas Mountains.
Can you tell us a bit about Marrakech and why it is such a beautiful destination choice for weddings?
Marrakech is an exotic choice for a destination wedding, it has become increasingly hip due to the all year sunshine, stunning venues and locations – palaces, Riads, spectacular gardens filled with Roses, Palm and Olive Trees and of course low cost travel making it accessible for guests

The wedding I have the delight in bringing to you today is located in the most beautiful 16th century palace and chapel ruins in Portugal. Photographed by Kerry and Luis of Piteira Photography, a husband and wife wedding photography team based in Lisbon, Portugal.
Hilary and Peter got married in September 2010 in front of 150 friends and family, most of whom had flown out from Ireland for the event. In true Irish style there was lots of laughter, tears, singing, dancing and, or course, the drinks were freely flowing!
The wedding and reception took place in a small town close to Sintra, Portugal at the Paço d’Ilhas Guest House, the partially restored ruins of a 16th century palace and chapel. The entire event was outdoors, with the ceremony in amongst the walls of the ruins and the reception dinner-and-dancing in the gardens of the guest house.

I’m dreaming of Italy today, with this romantic Villa wedding set in the breathtaking hills of Tuscany. Michelle and Luca chose Caught The Light to photograph their wedding and these images just capture their wedding so beautifully. A relaxed family celebration in a stunning location.
Michelle & Luca live in the US, where they met and fell utterly in love. Michelle is Malaysian-Italian and Luca, un bel Pratese-Italian. They make such a sweet couple and it is so lovely to see how he makes her sparkle-so pretty and happy…
With the Italian-connection, they chose to have a beautiful wedding reception at La Limonaia, in Prato, Italy. I literally gasped in amazement as I walked through the gates into the villa-I couldn’t stop beaming at just how simply beautiful everything was…

Following on from their FAB steam train pre wedding party, I am so excited to share Cissy and Andy’s stunning wedding in Sweden, photographed by the lovely Christine Meintjes.
“Cissy is a Swedish girl, but her family moved to the UK when she was young. She went off to study Mandarin and ended up working in China where she still lives. Andy on the other hand, is a UK boy, but also ended up working in China.
“And the question: How did these two meet each other in China? Well, as I heard in the speeches, Andy was recruiting people for a position at the company he was working for. Then someone told him about Cissy, a beautiful blond Swedish girl, and even though he was only allowed to employ Chinese girls, he still met up with her. And that’s how their story began.”

I have a special place in my heart for Sweden since spending family holidays there during my childhood, so when I saw Cissy and Andy’s amazing Swedish steam train, pre wedding party captured by Christine Meintjes, I immediately asked her if I could share on Fly Away Bride…
“The day before the wedding, the couple invited me to join them, with all their guests, for a pre-dinner party at Cissy’s parents’ home in Uppsala. We enjoyed yummy Swedish meatballs and some other Swedish snacks while all the guests got to know each other.”
