Incredible Corsica.

I knew after such a fantastic  engagement photoshoot with Claudia and Andrew at the Botanical Gardens in Geneva, that their wedding in Corsica was going to be incredible, and it absolutely was!

I love destination weddings and really appreciate how much time, effort and love is put into organising them.  Having got married 'abroad' myself in Cape Town, South Africa nearly 7 years ago I understand that sometimes the easiest of things can be a mission!  That said,  Claudia's parents reside in Corsica and were absolutely amazing helping with all the preparations, it really was such a family event.  Everything was so personal; Claudia's sister Wayta did her make-up, her mother personally decorated the whole venue (which was a surprise for the bride and groom) Claudia and Andrew wrote not only their own vows, but the whole ceremony, which was conducted by a very dear friend of theirs who had flown over from America especially for the day. 

The ceremony on Arinella beach was so intimate, with just close friends and family.  With a backdrop of the most magnificent views of the mountains across the bay, and the azure blue water lapping at their feet, the guests had a real treat. Wow.  The dinner was full of fun, music, laughs, dancing and some delicious food.  The end of the night could not have ended better; the bride and groom stripped off to reveal swimming costumes with the words 'just married' written on them.  As they ran off hand-in-hand into the sea for a midnight dip, they were promptly joined by the rest of the wedding party!  Fabulous.
