Every now and again you come across a very special venue, not only is it stunningly captivating, magical and breathtaking – but where everyone is so warm and welcoming that at the end of a long weekend stay you struggle to tear yourself away to head home. Kinsterna hotel & spa is one of those places, and the gorgeous Claire & Martin are the lucky couple who celebrated their wedding weekend extravaganza there.
Claire & Martin invited me to photograph their 3-day wedding weekend which included a welcome dinner, the beautiful wedding day and a cocktail evening / farewell dinner the day after. The thing I love most about a destination wedding weekend is how everyone’s immediately on holiday mode, guests are relaxed and ready to have a good time, and… well why only have one day when you can have three! 😉 I fell in love with Kinsterna as soon as I set foot on it, it was perfect in every way and so was Claire & Martin’s wedding. Claire looked absolutely stunning in her Jenny Packham dress and Jimmy Choo shoes, and although there was a threat of thunderstorm to spoil the outdoor wedding they planned, the sun shone throughout (a passing thunderstorm did arrive later that night, so they had their first dance inside the cellar and went back out for more partying as soon as it passed).
Thank you Claire & Martin (and everyone at the wedding) for making me feel like one of the guests, and to Theo & everyone at Kinsterna for making me feel so spoilt! I will be back, no doubt.
