Wedding: Babs & Miles

What with all the craziness of moving countries I didn't post anything about this fantastic wedding I had the pleasure to photograph in Bali, Indonesia, right before I left for Germany.

Babs and Miles are not your average couple. They hired out the beautiful Mahatma House in Seseh, and threw the most colourful, fun ceremony you can imagine. After the beautifully non-traditional ceremony and some extremely entertaining speeches, the wedding party released lanterns on the beach, and then partied, fully-clothed, in the pool.

Wedding: Miki & Paul

A wee while back I shot another wedding with Aidan Dockery in Thailand. This time we headed south, to the beach, to the Pimalai Resort on Koh Lanta.

It rained the day we arrived, at the time the ceremony was planned for the next day, so we were worried the weather could make things tricky. But on meeting Paul and Miki we both knew immediately that it was going to be a lot of fun, whatever the weather did.

And fun it was. Lots of laughter, a bit of Tarantino, great speeches, great music, not one but two fire-shows, and a big bridal party all out to have a great time in a stunning location. In short, one of the best weddings I've photographed.

So, many thanks to Paul and Miki for having us along, and a big thanks once again to Aidan for taking me along for the ride - you can see a slideshow of both of our images if you click here.

In honour of it being so much fun, it being my first beach wedding, me having a new camera etc etc, here's quite a laaarge selection of shots:

Wedding: Adam & Serena

The Oriental Mandarin Dhara Devi is an amazing place for a wedding. Set in 60 acres in Chiang Mai, it's all spires, wood and ancient stone. It contains two full areas of rice paddy and has the gentlest morning alarm - a man on a white buffalo plays a flute whose notes float across the rice fields and into your sleeping ears.

Adam and Serena had an open-air wedding ceremony on the main terrace, followed by a traditional Thai tea ceremony. In the evening, Thai dancers entertained the wedding party between dinner courses.

Many thanks to Aidan for flying me over there to help with the photography. And congratulations to Adam and Serena and their families. Thanks to them also for the Flaming Lamborghini which topped the night off!
