Hello, Ibiza!
LAUREN AND BRADLEY
MORNING BEFORE THE CEREMONY
The morning of the wedding started with Lauren and her girl squad. I started shooting the detail shots of the dress, jewellery, shoes, veil, Invitation, etc. I then moved onto capturing some candid shots of Lauren and her bridesmaids getting their make up and hair done, chatting and drinking and just enjoying their morning before heading off for the ceremony. Lauren opened her gift from Bradley and she also gave her mum a gift from her. A tear jerker moment if I do say so myself.
After an hour or so with the bride I left to go to the grooms room to get some photos of him and his groomsmen. They all opened their gifts from Bradley and I got some group photos of them together before leaving them to head back to Lauren.
As the ceremony time was getting closer it was time for Lauren to get into her dress. Once in her dress we did a bridesmaid first look photo. This is a photo I absolutely love to capture! There's nothing like a real, raw reaction to your bride from her girls. After a few tears and hugs I captured some group photos of them together and with Lauren.
The guests were all arriving and gathering at the pool bar for pre ceremony drinks so I quickly popped over to get a few shots before heading back to Laurens room.
Now it was Ceremony time! After walking through the longest corridor known to man ( a perfect practice for Lauren's walk down the aisle, We got to the front of the hotel. Here a member of staff was waiting with champagne and a bit of Beyonce blasting through the speakers. A perfect way to hype up the bride and her girls before heading down the aisle.
After a little dancing, the champagne was downed and it was into the car and off to the ceremony.















Ceremony
We arrived at Cas Mila Restaurant where the wedding is held at. We arrived at the entrance at the top and wow! the views from this place are stunning! I got some portrait photos of Lauren before heading down to greet her dad. I captured the father of the bride first look photo and now, this is the photo that always gets me. what a beautiful moment between Lauren and her dad. After nearly shedding a tear myself behind the lens it was time to head off into the venue to get a quick group shot at the top of the building before heading down to the ceremony.
Now if you've ever been to Cas Mila restaurant before you'll know they have the most amazing stairs that lead down to the ceremony part of the building, which has the most beautiful sea view and incredible light. So hot too!
Lauren and her bridesmaids started to walk and this is moment I always try and capture the groom and his reaction and what a beautiful reaction it was by Bradley. Lauren walked towards him and the ceremony officially began, the exchange of vows were said and the kiss sealed the deal.
Here comes the confetti walk! Walking up the aisle their guests showered them in confetti and cheers before heading down into the bar area for cocktail hour.















Cocktail Hour & Portraits
This is part of the day the bride and groom get showered with love from their guests. Including lots of hugging, kisses and congratulatory words spoken. Oh, and lots of drinks getting drunk!
After everybody had congratulated Lauren and Bradley it was time for the group photos with that stunning Mediterranean Sea in the background. Once the group photos were completed I took Bradley and Lauren off for further couple portraits before the sun started to go down.
I then went up into the reception area and took some detail shots of the tables before the guests came up and it was time for the speeches to start.















Speeches, Cake Cut and Evening Reception.
The sun had set and the Cas Mila lights were shimmering bright for the speeches to start.
The speeches began, Groom, Best Man and father of the bride.
I love listening to the speeches and capturing the laughter, sometimes the cringing moments, and the tearful, heartfelt moments too.
Once the speeches were finished it was time for food. Lauren and Bradley had organised a BBQ feast for their guests. One big tray of bbq food for each table to eat. I sat down and enjoyed the food too whilst having, I think, my first drink of the day since leaving the hotel on the morning. I just got that busy trying to capture all the moments there was just no time for me to quickly grab a refreshment.
Once all the food was eaten it was time to cut the cake and wow! do the people in Ibiza know how to make a cake. I had a few cupcakes and they were delicious!
Once the cake was cut everybody headed back down for the first dance.
Bradley and Lauren made their grand entrance down those amazing stairs and started to dance.
After a minute or so of dancing the saxophonist started play and the sparklers went off!
It was now time to party! and boy, do Lauren and Bradley's family and friends know how to party. Its was epic. Dance moves were crazy, the drinks were flowing and the enjoyment could be felt in the air! What a wedding, What an experience! What a venue! & what a couple!
Thanks Lauren & Bradley for letting me capture it all for you. It was class!
