the last day of 2018 has been incredible day for me professionally and personally. I got invited to the most unique ceremonial celebration of a new beginning between two beautiful lives, sharing true love, honesty and deepest passion for one another.

A dream marriage in a dream location high up in the french alps of Courchevel

I had given the incredible honor to take the official wedding portraits and the privilege to create a fairy tale setting. A dream come true!

Prior the ceremony we scouted the location, timed the perfect moment when the last sunray sets the distant mountain caps on fire.

Tons of lighting grip got dragged up to the top, setting up and testing lights for a few very cold challenging hours creating a warm glow that captured this divine moment.

Early december we got flown over to a secret location hidden away on the coast of Oman.

Our commission was to create timeless iconic photographs on location ambient based photography sets during this special private weekend ceremony themed the enchanted Bohdi Tree Land. 

The production team build a breathtaking magical place with everything that one can imagine.

We invite the guests to be captured within the Bohdi tree scenery that was nestled between the beautiful coloured redish desert landscape and deep blue Arabian Sea.

A very challenging task pre-scout for the best spots during the heat of the day for the perfect light and building a on the go photo-studios sets involving multiply heads and battery powered flash units.

A true spiritual and unforgettable magical event we had the honour being part of and capture a slice of history.
