Vevey, Switzerland Wedding at the Grand Hotel Du Lac and UNESCO World Heritage Site

For Pamela and Louis, their journey to getting married is a story any true romantic would fall in love with and one that’s touched every corner of the world.

After meeting in London during their college years they travelled to the ancient city of Petra where they fell in love. Pamela and Louis share a strong passion of travel and food. Their love of travel led to several proposals during many of their trips together. Continuing the tradition of celebrating their love all over the world they have been married in London, Switzerland, Hong Kong, and there might yet be a South African wedding on the way. I was lucky enough to be part of their London engagement and Switzerland wedding.

For their love of food Pamela and Louis chose the Grand Hotel Du Lac in Vevey to host their wedding dinner because of it’s renowned Michelin star cuisine and also hosted a private wine tasting at Chateau Le Rosey for their guests the previous evening.

Choosing to show off the best of their new home region Lavaux, one of the UNESCO world heritage sites in Switzerland, they chose to be married at Eglise St. Saphorin and afterwards led a convoy of cars through the vineyards to Patrick Fonjallaz Caveau to take in the sites with a few glasses of wine, good food, and relaxing tunes before heading to the hotel to change for a black tie dinner.

Apart from being foodies and having a case of wanderlust, they have a great sense of style. Pamela wore her dream dress, a blue lace Oscar De La Renta paired with Freya Rose shoes. To incorporate Louis’s South African heritage Pamela carried a king protea bouquet with subtle touches of blue. For dinner she changed into a sweet Alice Temperley. Every detail of the day was lovingly created by one of their guests but very little was needed to make their day stunning.

So dive in and enjoy a small selection from their Switzerland wedding. And do be sure to check out their superb wedding video by extremely talented Story of Eve who also travelled from Ireland to capture the magic.

"Thank you so much for capturing our wedding day beautifully - the photographs of the scenery, architecture and details, as well as portraits of the bride and groom in preparation were just as important as the ones of the ceremony and wedding breakfast in telling the story of our special day. Opened a bottle of champagne, but didn't take a second sip until clicking through all the photos! What a lovely treat to relive the day through Christina's artistic eye. We cherish the wonderful wedding celebrations, and now we have beautiful photographic memory, for the rest of our lives, and to share with our future children and generations to come.

Many photographers take good photos yet we treasure that Christina is so dedicated and committed to create something truly special.

So pleased - thank you so much again."

Collaboration, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is the action of working with someone to produce something.

In my nearly 2 decades of photographing weddings I have a rhythm, I know what key moments make a wedding, and I have my own approach on the day to achieve what I want for each couple. But above all else, collaboration with each of you is the most important part of the process. I’m here to listen to your needs and tailor my approach so we achieve the experience and end product you wish to have. The best results always come when we’re in sync.

Scenes from iconic London with Julie and David.

I spent two days with them and their crew traipsing from one iconic spot to the next.

Julies choice of dress change (a one off @colleenatwoodofficial original for a demure ceremony look and sequin fitted gown for the after party) elevated each part of the day.

I was not the popular girl in school. Never the overachiever. Certainly not an academic. I gravitated toward art and sport. I never wanted to stand out in the crowd. I felt comfortable behind the camera.

I love weddings and photography. I love the artistic and physical aspect of documenting a wedding day. Getting recognition was not the goal, but it’s beyond words to have it. I just want to keep producing work my clients love.

Thank you @wezoree for including me on this list. There is easily a mountain of other names on this talented island that deserve this honour.

Repost @destinationido {‘After their engagement, Claire, a dual citizen of Ireland and the United States, and TJ, an American with deep Irish roots felt compelled to plan their wedding in a place uniquely special to them both. A 45-minute drive from the Dublin city center, Luttrellstown Castle played the storybook setting for Claire and TJ’s wedding day.’}

Go check out Claire and TJ’s full 3 day wedding celebrations over on Destination I Do. What an honour to shoot the first ever wedding celebration hosted in the Trinity College Long Room. This had to be the cherry on top.

J&H did things their own way and incorporated private vows in the small chapel ahead of their outdoor ceremony at The Cliff at Lyons estate. It was intimate with only myself and the celebrant in attendance. A real honour to be included in private moments like this.
