Colombiano.

Florence and Sebastien had the most stunning Wedding on the 1st October, in some of the most sublime locations.  Being towards the end of the year, you may have expected it to be slightly more 'fresh'.  However,  they were blessed with the most magical sunshine which made their day even more special.

Their 'Jour J' (as they call it here in Switzerland)  was immaculately planned by Joëlle of Marry Me, and I was delighted to be working alongside the very talented videographer Martin Ureta of Video Mariage  with whom is always a great pleasure to shoot weddings.  

The ceremony was great fun and held at the Temple de Saint Vincent in Montreux, with the most spectacular views over the lake and vineyards.  After the ceremony the guests enjoyed an aperitif in Chexbres where they released some colourful balloons, which majestically lifted into the cloudless blue afternoon sky, lit by the golden sunlight.  The reception was at yet another beautiful location; the Château d'Aigle, where the guests were entertained by side-splitting games, films and lots of singing.  It was then time to hit the dance floor, which was 'on -fire' particularly thanks to Sebastien's relatives (he is half Columbian) who had come over from Colombia especially for the Wedding and were all strutting their stuff.  Fabulous!

All dressed-up.

Fanny and Nicolas were not the only two who looked fabulous in their wedding attire on their special day.   Nicolas' father had 'dressed-up' their two Mini Cooper cars ; one for the bride and one for the groom, what a great surprise for the bride who knew nothing about it!  The groom's car had a huge top hat and white bow-tie, whilst the bride's had big red lips and a tiara. Wow.  


The Swiss may sometimes have a reputation for being a rather reserved society, however this literally all goes out the window during a wedding cortège!  It is traditional in Switzerland for the wedding party to travel in a cortège from the church to the aperitif location.  With hazard lights flashing, horns beeping and the bridal party throwing sweets into the street for any children cheering to them from the pavement, it's quite something to witness.  I always feel a great honour to be part of this truly unique event.
