Dream of a Spanish wedding …


Three Spanish wedding destinations that’ll make for a stunning wedding video

Imagine walking down the aisle, a warm scented breeze in the air, your friends and family sitting against a stunning natural backdrop, before dancing the night away under the stars. If that sounds appealing to you, then Spain could be the perfect fit for your upcoming nuptials.

 

Whether you’re already based in this beautiful country or want to jet off to Spain for a destination wedding, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to your ceremony location. From bustling towns that give you access to prime eating spots for your reception, to secluded beaches for a low-key, intimate ceremony, there’s something for everyone. In this post, we list three of our favourite locations to spark your imagination and kick off your planning.

Marbella

One of the most popular holiday destinations in Spain, Marbella is the perfect choice for couples looking to combine their wedding celebrations with a longer holiday with their guests, or perhaps their honeymoon. If you’re going to have a large guest list, it’s well worth choosing an established destination like this – not only will everyone be able to find accommodation, but you’ll also have a larger range of vendors to choose from

The combination of beaches, mountains and traditional white houses will make for an amazing backdrop for your wedding video and photos, truly capturing the essence of Spain. If you’re inviting just a handful of guests, you could even consider hiring a villa for everyone to stay at, allowing your videographer in Marbella to capture the lead up to the ceremony as well as the main event.

Ibiza

Whilst Ibiza has historically had a reputation for being a party capital, it’s actually a tranquil, romantic place if you know where to look. If you want a boho, relaxed destination wedding, then it’s a great choice. The international vibe of the island means that there are plenty of multilingual celebrants available, and you can create a truly personalised celebration.

The lush natural beauty of the island is a photographer’s dream. Consider getting married outside of peak summer holiday months, where you’ll be able to enjoy an element of seclusion and reduce the chance of getting members of the public in your wedding videos. 

Mallorca

If you want to slow down and savour your wedding celebrations at your own pace, then look no further than Mallorca. The island encourages a simpler way of life, so you can put your love and commitment front and centre – it’s less about fancy decorations and more about spending precious quality time with your friends and family.

The rugged mountain ranges, azure water and large beach bays mean that you can get some truly amazing wedding photos and videos. It’s also home to some amazing vineyards, which can make excellent wedding venues. Talk to your videographer and be prepared to go off-road – the contrast of your white wedding dress against the green of the hills is not something you’ll want to miss.

The Amphitheatre


Tanjila and Anup’s charming destination wedding, Tuscany, Italy. Last year I had the absolute honour of filming a stunning wedding at La Selva Giardino del Belvedere. 

I’ve known Tanjila and Anup since meeting them at the wedding of Simon & Taj in Spain, where I was the videographer for their wedding in Marbella. We all flew over a couple of days before the wedding day which was a brilliant opportunity for me to get to know the area and the different locations, and get to know their thoughts on the day.

I already knew that they wanted their wedding videography to be natural, relaxed, and cinematic so this matched my style perfectly!

The wedding took place at La Selva Giardino del Belvedere, Cavriglia, Tuscany…..a beautiful Tuscan villa tucked away in the Chianti Hills, trapped  by olive groves and woods, with a rustic ampitheatre set back from the villa used for an intimate wedding ceremony.

Tanjila & Anup (with the help of Francesco, whose parents built the villa from all-ethical materials) designed all the decor which was a hit with everyone present. Arrival of the guests was dotted throughout the day, everyone was there by the evening, and tucking into a plethora of tasty food!

Makeup and hair dressing took place upstairs in the Villa whilst Anup and his entourage got ready at a separate villa just a stones throw away. Despite the years of planning and anxiety building up to the day, Tanjila & Anup both seemed fairly relaxed (on the outside!) and definitely took everything in their stride on the big day.The speeches were emotional and heartfelt, and dancing under stars at La Selva in the Chianti Hills countryside was just as good as it sounds.

Château Love Story


Whisking away to France for a destination wedding is about as romantic as it gets. Pop the champagne and get lost in the perfectness of this gorgeous Château De Vallery wedding! Seun & Toye chose me as their destination wedding videographer and I was thrilled by their decision.

The love between Seun & Toye comes through in the film and I am thrilled to have captured so many intimate moments between them throughout this special day. Their 300 guests came from all over the world, but predominantly London & Nigeria. Guests included politicians, celebrities and of course the amazing families & friends of the lovely couple.

This chateau is stunning and an absolutely perfect location to host a wedding or event. Both the grounds and chateau are in immaculate condition. There are a variety of different spaces which can be used for different parts of the event and no real restrictions on how you use them – the chateau are very accommodating.

Each of the guest bedrooms are beautifully furnished and finished to a very high standard, excellently maintained and all have their own character, which is evident in the film (at the bottom of this page).
