The wedding of Phids and Jordan was a truly remarkable one. Phids’s family came from Laos where their traditions are significantly different from Jordan’s family which is originally from Switzerland. The ceremonies were a thing to remember. We were able to witness both the Switzerland ceremony and the Laos traditional ceremony one after another.
While getting ready, Phids brought out her amazing dress from Natalia Exclusif. The attire was of the European selection with trends that were not seen here before. Natalia Exultif dresses are amazing, often made out of silk and other great and rare materials; her work is not to be missed if you are looking for wedding wear. We were able to take some reflective shots while Phids was putting the final touches of her makeup, through the mirrors of beauty kit. With her truly beautiful and mysterious gaze, the pictures with the gorgeous white flowers bouquet came out looking astounding.
Jordan’s pictures looked as if they were taken during the behind-the-scenes of a movie. Reflective shots through the mirror of his apartment mixed with his radiant smile and sincere emotions, made the shots unforgettable. Jordan was wearing Prada shoes which only reinforced the look of a movie star. Both him and Phids looked amazing in their elegant attire.
Phids and Jordan’s wedding was one to remember! We never seen anything like it, it was as if it happened from a true cinematic moment. The wedding took place at the beautiful landscapes of St-Raphael golf club, but the weather was bitter on the menu. The whole day seemed like a rollercoaster with the raging rainy weather that has been pouring on us since the start of the ceremony. It rained a little at the beginning of the emotional event when Phids was saying her vows to Jordan. As the emotions became more and more intense, when Phids was saying how they fell in love, the wind got stronger and rain started to pour even harder. It seemed that the weather was controlled by the emotional state of Phids, it was truly amazing. The rain got even stronger, also a full blown storm started to form when Phids vows were about how much Jordan meant to her in her life, tears were falling on her face. We could barely hear the voice of the wedding celebrant when he said: “I now declare you husband and wife.” as the weather went crazy. The guests shifted uneasily to the safer side of the tent when the wind burst under it, making it shake and swiping the table of its feet. As if in a movie scene, the words of Phids saying: “Yes I do!”, were heard under the crashing sound of the sky and lightening, wind and rain making the tent shudder and a passionate kiss in the middle of this whole weather beauty. It was incredible!
Yet the day was not ruined by the weather during the ceremony. As they say, after the storm comes the sun, which is exactly what happened. Everyone was rejoiced to see the sun and the weather improve. We came outside and were able to take magnificent shots of the couple. Under the dark blue sky, just after the rain, the shots came out stunning. The last rays of the sunlight bathing the clouds at sunset along with the true passion that Phids and Jordan had for each other, made the shots incredibly picturesque.
During the reception everyone danced to the music of DJ Rouge, who kept the crowd on their feet all night long. The tables were amazing with the purple and blue lightening rays which shone and bathed the whole crowd. But most importantly was when Suki, Phids little dog, stole everyone’s attention. It came in wearing its own wedding dress which drew everyone’s eyes away from the bride. Phids had to be creative to get the attention back from the guests. Phids arrived at the ceremony in a wedding truck instead of a limousine. Everyone was in awe of seeing the huge truck with wedding bows all over it. It was incredible wedding to remember!
