So...I have been so excited about blogging about the amazing wedding in Spain that I photographed but we had to wait until Ana and Luis had seen their official photographs first! They have so I can finally blog - yippee!
I helped out my lovely friend Elia (www.eliasills.com) who is based in Madrid and the number one wedding photographer in Spain. Her work is truly beautiful and I was honoured to fly out and support her at this huge society wedding!
It all happened at the end of May and we set off for the venue at first light. It took us almost two hours to drive up and into the mountainous region of Extremadura where Ana's parent's finca was situated. Neither of us had seen it before and we were not disappointed - it took our breaths away. The house and estate were simply stunning.
We didn't have much time to stand and stare as it was business as usual and all the excitement of the day was building. The hairdresser and make up artist had arrived and the decoration of the house and garden was well under way. There were people running about everywhere but we focused on getting amazing shots of Ana getting ready in her room and the preparations that were taking place all around us. Ana looked nothing short of breathtaking in her designer gown and her cousin, sister, best friend and little pooch Manolo were all there to help her get ready! Everything was so beautiful and the morning just flew past.
The weather was perfect...not too sunny with lots of big white clouds to offer some shade. The 400 guests drank vintage cava, nibbled tapas and later on had a huge seven course meal under candle light. The ladies looked so stylish and the hats and fascinators were....fascinating?!!!! The men wowed in typical Spanish style, looking super slick and puffing on huge Cuban cigars. I was in heaven!
Elia did an amazing job and between us we took hundreds of amazing photographs. I still can't believe I was there and can't wait for the next one she needs me to help her with!
It was a wonderful day and a wonderful wedding. I thought the Scottish knew how to party but this lot would have put anyone to shame; the music and dancing after dinner was brilliant. Everyone was on the dance floor moving and grooving like Shakira - honestly!
So, I've chosen a few of my favourite shots from the day and hope you enjoy them! There are quite a few!
Fxxx
