BULA!!!
Well this time last week Dee (my assistant) & I were shooting Kate & Daniels Destination Wedding In Fiji. SO nice & warm.
My first ever destination wedding!! What a blast & a great wedding location to shoot at.
Kate & Dan must be 2 very loved & liked people. They had over 110 people travel to Fiji for their wedding! & yes after spending a few days with these guys & shooting their wedding I can see why they are so popular.
They are the most laid-back cruisiest couple ever. Yes - Kate had everything planned down to the tee but I think that is why it was such a successful wedding.
I would have to rate this wedding in my top 10 of weddings. Its was so beautiful & so different to Aussie weddings & I guess instead of a wedding lasting 1 day this lasted a week. SO by the time Monday came for the Big Day everyone was well into holiday/party mode.
They thought of everything: the accommodation packages for all were inclusive of all food & drinks at “The Hideaway Resort”. This place is so beautiful & friendly. They had umbrellas for the ladies & buttonholes for all the guys…why you ask?
Well they wanted everyone there to be in their bridal party. SO they had these gifts for all. Also the dress code for the wedding was white for the girls & white & beige for the guys. This looked amazing – overlooking the beach with a sea of white as they said there vows!!
Things were so cruisey & in “Fiji time”… I had to laugh; Yes the bouquets for the wedding were suppose to be there for the wedding but due to” Fiji Time” they arrived just as she walked down the isle. But due to the fab flower arrangements in each room we made do with our own creations!!Kate had alot of other mates & family help with Hair & make-up & as Kate put it shes not a “girlie-girl” so she need help with this. SO Kate for someone who usually does’nt wear alot of make-up you looked so natural & amazing.
Yes, as you will see they had a bit of Fijian tradition put into their wedding with warriors carrying her in, a kava ceremony & a choir from gorgeous locals escorting her down the isle.
Also, a huge thankyou to all your friends & family. Sometimes when I shoot at weddings you get made to feel like your just working & a small number of people do treat you like this but not with Kate & Daniels wedding. Everyone was so friendly & just so nice. We were treated like one of the Guests. Thanks so much.
