A breathtaking private estate on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean was the dreamy venue for this beautiful duo’s dreamy celebration. Being located inside the gates of luxurious Casa de Campo, Dominican Republic, insured we were able to check off on all criteria on all the boxes: private venue with very specific views: on a cliff overlooking water? check. beautiful and comfortable accommodation for guests that offered an all inclusive option? check. A fun, tropical and warm destination with daily direct/short flights? check. Getting to know Crystal & Race is one of the most inspiring highlights of my career. Not to mention they have officially set the bar for the most beautiful vows ever..and ever. Their love truly made Dominican Republic even more beautiful than it already was. Here’s a glimpse into their effortlessly luxe and timeless day. All Images: my friend @bsimkova for Tara McMullen Photographer M
Read MoreA Persian wedding in Santorini
Santorini was it. Ayda saw an image of an intimate wedding in Santorini, of a couple in love, long before she was engaged to Nima. That couple in that image happened to be one of our dearest couples who married in Santorini in 2015. Fast forward 4 years, and we were back in Santorini to celebrate Ayda & Nima’s love, along with their nearest and dearest, whom all know a Santorini Sunset now. How incredible is it when two people not only come together to turn a celebration to a dream, but also watch their love become a vessel for a once in a lifetime memory for others? I hope you enjoy a glimpse into their big day, and I hope for you too, sunsets on a wedding day are watched, experienced and felt. Xx, M All Images: Barb Simkova for Tara McMullen Photography
