RUSS AND LAUREN’S DESTINATION WEDDING IN MENORCA.
When I first met up with Russ and Lauren and heard all about the plans for their Menorca wedding I could not wait to be their photographer!
I’d never been to Menorca before but after meeting with Russ, Lauren and Laurens parents (who have a home out there) I’d learnt all about the place. Lauren has been going to Menorca since she was young so it held a very special place in her heart.
When the week of the wedding finally arrived I flew out to meet Russ, Lauren and their wonderful family and friends. They instantly made me feel like part of the family.
The night before the wedding I met up with Lauren and the girls at Binifadet winery in Sant Lluis. This place was beautiful, tranquil and so authentic. It made for the perfect ‘night-before’ meal. After spending an or so with the girls I head in to Mahon to meet the boys at Latitude 40 bar where the beer was flowing.
The day of the wedding arrived and by the time I arrived with Russ and the boys the hangovers were starting to subside. Russ got ready in a very cool villa in Es Castell overlooking the water. After leaving the boys I head over to Laurens folks place to hang out with Lauren, her bridesmaids and family.
Once Lauren was ready I set off their venue, Sant Joan de Binissaida. This place was absolutely stunning! I awaiting Laurens arrival on horse and cart and got ready for their outdoor ceremony.
The rest of the wedding flowed perfectly with lots of drink, laughter and authentic cuisine. Russ, Lauren and their guests danced and celebrated in style.
The following day I returned for a couple of hours to photograph a small bbq at the venue and nip Russ and Lauren off for a few more photos in one of their favourite local spots.
This wedding was incredible and one I will always remember.
