A FUN WEDDING WITH AN UNEXPECTED ENDING

It's one of the funniest and funniest weddings I've ever photographed

From the gathering of the bride to the wedding ceremony to the selfies at the end of the wedding. 


I finally found the time to upload this wonderful wedding on Phu Quoc Island to the website. I will comment a little on these wedding photos, sometimes it's worth it. Just to give you at least a small impression of the relaxed atmosphere that prevailed on this festive day. :)

This is a beautiful location for any wedding ceremony. The location is very high and has a beautiful view of the sea.

Not a staging, but a symbolic shot. When you go from being a sneaker fan to a serious and responsible head of the family.

It's really very hot. There's still the wedding reception and the gala dinner. And I'd love to go to the seaside and lie on the beach. But that's all tomorrow, and today is the wedding!

I love such light and harmonious accessories that match the tone of the wedding dress and the bride herself.

In a futile attempt to get the phone out of the pool with the same tripod. The ceremony is paused... :)

It's good that the villa has staff. The phone is saved.

This photo ended this amazing wedding ceremony that was full of fun adventures and vivid emotions. I think I will remember this wedding for a long time, and the newlyweds forever. And my photos will help them do that. :)
