“Firstly we have not had a chance to thank you for the gorgeous package
you sent us and wrapped so beautifully.

What a lovely surprise to open when we got home and the photos are
just incredible. You are an amazing artist”

This is Nick & Xuca’s relaxed Ibiza wedding, held at a gorgeous Moroccan inspired villa overlooking the sea in Cala Carbo in the South West of Ibiza. Their spiritual ceremony took place on the clifftop high above the sea and opposite the mythical rock of Es Vedra in Ibiza (the third most magnetic place on Earth!). Nick is an architect with his own practice, Data Nature and has designed shops for Manolo Blahnik, and Xuca works in finance. The couple met in Ibiza at a lunch thrown by mutual friends, Nick proposed in Ibiza and naturally there was only one location that their hearts would allow them to hold their wedding!

Their beautiful baby girl Olympia was at the heart of their celebrations…. and Aman Cara, a private villa, set in the wild rocks and cliff tops above the sea, a spectacular and dramatic location. The bride wore Pucci, a mosaic tiled fountain in the villa’s garden inspired the stationary suite designed by the super talented Louise Richardson, and Eat Ibiza  served fresh Mediterranean salads, grilled prawns and more from the poolside BBQ. Naturally, being Ibiza, festivities continued into the small hours with a live bongo player and saxophonist playing whilst guests danced around the pool.

From the Bride… Although we both work long hours, planning our wedding was a fun and relaxed affair, with lovely trips to Ibiza and meeting amazing professionals who helped us design our perfect day. From Louise’s stunning invitations and stationary, to Vikki’s spectacular wedding planning and divine catering, to Polly’s gorgeous photos on real film that captured the mood of the day and the dramatic weather so beautifully, and ending with our saxophonist Laura who made the evening. Sharing the experience with our daughter Olympia and our families and friends was so special and I know every single person felt incredibly spoiled and charmed on the day, especially myself and Nick!

Emma & Lee – Wedding Photography at Paissa den Bernat, Ibiza

February 10, 2012

Emma and Lee fell in love…… and fell in love with the idea of marrying in Ibiza. They just knew it was meant to be on both counts.

So as an interior designer Emma was perfectly placed to channel her creative energies into creating a stylish coordinated navy and cream style to their wedding, and the beautiful stationary she designed herself, the pretty table plan hanging in the trees and the  . Ibiza is a magical place to get married, and I love photographing weddings there. It’s not just the sunshine, the beaches, the bright beautiful flowers against the turquoise of a cool swimming pool…. it;s more than that, the place itself has a wonderful energy. I always find within 24 hours of arriving on the island everything before has melted away and I feel incredibly relaxed and peaceful.

The church of San Agustin doesn’t host many weddings and it was new to me too. In fact it’s actually not an easy place to get married in and it took a special letter from the couple to persuade the vicar to allow them to marry there. They had their hearts set on this tiny atmospheric decorated Catholic church and were determined to make it where they became husband and wife.

After a heartfelt ceremony which culminated in huge grins as they came down the aisle, it was confetti and hopping into a vintage Mercedes for a drive to the clifftop overlooking the big blue sea. The reception was held at Paissa den Bernat, a beautiful villa in San Jose, where Vicky and her team at Eat Ibiza laid on a delicious Mediterranean feast. ‘Eat, Drink & be Merry’ as the couple had written on their handmade menus. Then it was drinking and dancing into the the wee small hours under the stars.

Here’s a little taste of their day. Much love for a long and happy life together Mr & Mrs M!

Ceremony Venue: San Agustin Church, Ibiza. Reception Venue: Paissa den Bernat, San Jose, Ibiza. Dress by Jenny Packham, Catering by Eat Ibiza, Hair & Make Up by Bellimissma Ibiza; Cake designed by the Bride & made by Eat Ibiza.

Ibiza to Formentera

February 5, 2012

On a snowy icy cold day in London like today, it’s the perfect time to relive warm memories of summer holidays.

Here’s the second post on my mini-holiday (kind of like a mini-moon!)  to Formentera. The other way to travel to the island of Formentera is by ferry, which takes around 45 minutes from Ibiza. There is no airport on the tiny Balearic island of Formentera, which is about 12 miles long, so the only way to reach it is by boat.

But it is as they say, about enjoying the journey, not the just the destination, and one of my favourite moments was seeing the island of Ibiza from the sea, with Dalt Vila, the ancient city on the hill with it’s ramparts and vast terraces, rising above it all. Dalt Vila is a world heritage site dating back to the Phoenician times (1500-300 B.C) and even more impressive when viewed from the sea.

I love the roar of the big engines, mixing with the crash of the waves the big boat creates in it’s wake. And after a stretch of open sea, seeing Formentera appear on the horizon, with it’s promise of tranquility, peace and escape…..

Later this week, Formentera itself.
