Dear Alicia & Alla

 

A couple in wedding attire dance together on a beach with waves crashing in the background in black and white.

I have been anticipating your wedding for months, and for good reason. Your big day was one of my favourites of 2024!


Alicia - talented photographer turned beautiful bride, I knew we were going to be friends from the moment we met. Since you captured my family moments I knew the pressure was on to capture your wedding with the same magic - luckily you made my job SO easy! You were so on the ball the whole day and yet were the most chilled bride I'd ever met.


Alla - Mr Cool, you gave such a tangible air of sophistication, and it was a pleasure to meet you. I could tell from the start that you love Alicia with all your heart. You were the perfect dashing groom. I hope you and Alicia have many wonderful travels together.


The weather was great (cool with a bit of drizzle in all the right spaces), the venues were perfect, the music, the food, the outfit coordination - literally, every part of the day went off without a hitch. I truly hope it was everything you two envisioned.


I wish you two all of the joy and happiness in the world, and I will hopefully be seeing you soon - either with camera or wine in hand!




Love and light

Gemma Rainn
