Todd & Teresa’s wedding seems like a long time ago now as the rush of May weddings continue and then heading into the mad month of June!  Part of the love of the job is being able to relive everything whilst working on all the images in the digital darkroom and Todd & Teresa’s images brought back memories of a superb day, perfect setting. perfect weather, perfect vendors and such a great group of people to be around. Thanks so much for inviting me to document your day. If you would like to view the SLIDESHOW then please do.

A big thanks to the following vendors who made such a perfect day.

Thanks J.

Amazing, incredible, awesome! not my words but those of a guest in Heidi & Lalo’s guest book and those three words pretty much sum up the entire experience. Heidi & Lalo live in LA and made the trip over to Barcelona with close family and friends from far and wide. As some of you will know I absolutely love these kinds of weddings and having the chance to hang out with people this cool for a few days was a real treat.

The Friday began with a coach trip out to a fabulous venue for a touch of local culture and paella cooking and  lovely lunch. WIth barely time to catch your breath it was then off to the cava producers Codorniu, chances are if you like cava you will have sampled some of this at some point. The sheer vastness of the premises is something to behold and despite the odd guest fading a little after lunch we were all treated to fantastic tour and tasting.

As if that was not enough for one day it was swiftly back to Barcelona before the rehearsal dinner in the newly renovated Hotel Espana and the incredible dining room boasting original hand painted murals on the walls, I was politely told that use of any flash would result in instant removal  which gives you some idea how precious they are.

So where were we? After so much to absorb from the Friday it was hard not to have some sort of expectation about the Saturday and the only remaining 17th century palace in the gothic area of Barcelona seemed a suitable location, even boasting the original furniture from the 17th century . Palau Moxo is a truly stunning location, I have  never seen so many chanceliiers in one room anywhere before and it is actually worth taking a peek at their website to view the venue from the past.

The wedding ceremony took place in the church directly opposite the Palau Moxo and having shot in many stunning churches in the past this has to be up there with one of the most beautiful. After a lovely ceremony it was back across the square for a traditional Japanesse blessing followed by cocktails and canapés in the courtyard.

Dinner was as you would expect superb, and also accompanied by an incredible solo concert pianist ( You probably were not expecting much less than that by now ) and after speeches and tears it was time for cake cutting in the main in the lounge area and lots more tears!

Can’t thanks you enough for allowing me to share such a wonderful experience with your friends and family and it will certainly be a wedding I shall never forget.

Two things you don’t really want to hear at a wedding are the words “Wind” or “Rain” and definitely not the two of them in the same sentence. Alas we did have both sprinkled with a few drops of sunshine but it also made for very unique images. Come rain or shine or probably any weather for that matter, Diana was very determined to have her wedding outside and as you can see below, the rain parted and a wonderful ceremony was held  with views over the Andalucian countryside.

After a windy but beautiful ceremony it was quickly back inside to the log fire and canapés before relaxing for dinner and speeches in a beautifully decorated room. Diana and Matt’s first dance was simply incredible and not something you learn overnight! Thanks so much to you both and your wonderful family and friends for letting me share your wedding day and really hope you like a few of my faves below.

Of course weddings like this don’t prepare themselves so a huge thanks to Michael + Laura for all of the amazing work and Natasha for such a moving ceremony.
