What can I say about Michelle and Jason’s day. Firstly, it wasn’t a wedding per se, as Michelle and Jason have been married for 18 years now. To celebrate this they chose to have a vow renewal in sunny Spain. I have known Michelle and Jason a long time, actually working with Michelle for many years at an advertising agency in London. So it was an honour when they asked me to fly out to Spain with them to photograph their vow renewal. The couple were married pretty young, some 18 years ago now, and have two boys who are an absolute credit to them. Having been through some challenging times recently this was the perfect way to brighten the year up for the whole family. They have a holiday home in Spain which they spend most of the Summer at so this seemed the perfect location to bring all their closest family and friends together to help them celebrate their vow renewal.

One of the biggest challenges when photographing destination weddings is the climate. In this instance, the heat. It was seriously hot. A heat we just don’t get here in the UK. It made it tough not only for me, but for the couple and their guests too. I think Jason himself got through at least three different shirts on the day.

Their special day was the perfect mix of everything, including some of the most emotional speeches I have ever photographed. Add to that the beautiful scenery, a flamenco dancer, the World’s biggest Paella*, unbroken sunshine and a gathering of some of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet, their day was always going to be a winner.

So on to the pictures. Here is a small selection of their vow renewal photography. Regular followers of this blog may notice a slight departure from my usual style here. Not the way I photograph of course, but the mere fact that most of these images are actually in colour! That’s the way I saw the day and so these images tell that particular story. If you are looking for a destination wedding photographer please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I am available across Europe and happy to travel to document your day.
