SEVILLE — The happy couple, pictured moments after exchanging vows. They had
travelled to the sun-baked south of Spain with no guests, no seating plan and no speeches
— only each other, a photographer, and a city that has been marrying people off for
the better part of a thousand years.
The announcement
With a deep layered history and old world charm, Spain provided the perfect
backdrop for our union.
Seville beautifully embodies the scars of centuries past, and yet exudes
a vibrant optimism that has evolved without ever fracturing, as if a metaphor for our
convictions, family, life & love.
For all who have played a part in this journey, we thank you sincerely.
Please know that even without your physical presence, your spirit has been with us
throughout.
Thank you for your support through every challenge, and please take a moment to
share in this brief album of our elopement.

THE GROTTO. A quiet moment by the falls before the vows.
THE PLAZA. Tiles, arches, and a city built to flatter a photograph.
THE EVENING. Fairy lights, a bottle, and nowhere else to be.
THE BRIDGE. Hand in hand, and heading somewhere new.

Wedding Crew Takes a Well Deserved Rest After an Entire Day’s Work
Special thanks to Diana, Antonio, Maria, and Christiane!
The calm after the storm. A day of thrusting through the city in taxis and on foot
like Big Trouble in Little Seville. Delicate floral arrangements precariously dangled
from clothing, and nary a smudge to bullet proof makeup even when subjected to the rush
of adrenaline or the heat of the moment. You’d never know it from the beautifully
composed photographs.
Beauty Is In The Eyes… A Lasting Look I Wish I Could MakeUp!
One of the most nerve wracking moments is having your makeup
applied by anyone for the very first time and especially on your big day. Your face
is the window to the world through which all else is filtered. Thankfully I was in
good steady hands :)
Christiane has a background creating looks for the performing arts and came
highly recommended by Diana. She is the final eye who will help put it all
together and even run alongside you under time duress to hail a cab in Spanish. See
for yourself… you know, as the beholder ;)
💨 poof * magic *
This one is tricky. Will need to get back to you on that.
Lost & Found in Translation
On the hunt for a simple bouquet on the last evening before
the ceremony we made our way to what appeared to be a small florist. Having
negotiated a few narrow streets and an alley on foot we finally made it. To our
amusement the place was more of a desk behind in a tiny glass office that happened
to sell flowers. No worries we came prepared; Joelle has had many hours of Duo Lingo
so we could convey all the nuances of colours & textures right? ..right?
Words bounced off the walls like a ping-pong machine and nothing would stick. I
mean very very little; muy, muy pequeña! It was like a Mexican stand-off but in
Greek. We left with no real clue of what we ordered.
The next morning early we made the trek once again but with trepidation.
Stepping inside the suspense was building, and after exchanging overly enthusiastic
greetings it was… Beautiful! Colourful! Vibrant!
What was lost in translation has been wonderfully found.
