Here are some beautiful photographs from the wedding of Marcel and Michelle. This lovely couple were married in Bora Bora and had a traditional, colourful ceremony with the island locals.
We love simple style of this couple, the cream colour of Michelle’s dress, the simple shirt and trousers of Marcel’s suit all match the beach wedding perfectly. So much emphasis often gets put on having a huge wedding party (complete with suits and ties, tiaras and sparkles) that lots of brides feel pressured into organising a big day and filling the big expectations. But it’s great to see a couple doing their wedding exactly how they want it, their day wasn’t about dresses and decorations, it was about the love and the commitment being promised.
We love this couple for including a trash the dress shoot on their actual wedding day too! The photos are so wonderful! We’re hoping to get a post up featuring lots of trash the dress photos (For those not in the know – a trash the dress shoot is when a bride and groom venture out into the world and find ridiculous activities to do in their wedding outfits. Usually ruining the dress and suits – but making awesome photographs!) So get in touch if you have any you can contribute to the post!
The photography here was done by Helene Havard Photography. Helene lives and works in Bora Bora and photographs many beautiful weddings there – she is definitely the person to contact if that’s where you’re planning your big day. You might remember her from our Bora Bora Beach bride post. We are big fans!
