FIJI!! Definitely a highlight of the year. I briefly met Nellie and Damian at a wedding I photographed a few months ago and they mentioned that they were getting married in Fiji but I didn't give it another thought after that. So when I got a call from Nellie about photographing their wedding I was over the moon. After a pleasant trip to Treasure Island resort, the wedding location, I sat down to a great dinner and then stayed up and played some poker with the boys. Not sure what time they kicked on til but some of them looked a little worse for wear the next day. The resort has it's own beauty spa and Nellie spent the morning being pampered and getting prepared for the wedding. The ceremony was set on the beautiful white sand and Nellie arrived being carried by Fiji warriors. The island is only quite small so we went for a wander around to get some shots and were lucky enough to get a beautiful sunset. The reception was set on the beachfront and everyone was in holiday mode so there was heaps of frivolity and got crazier as the night went on. It was great to make some new friends and experience the Fijian hospitality.
Coatsey, We could not be happier that you photographed our wedding and made the effort to come to Fiji and join with us in the festivities. We truly had the most amazing time, and funny thing is most of the time when we show people photos of our experiences, we find ourselves always using the line "oh but the pictures don't do it justice" in this case though, your pictures captured everything and told the story of our Fiji wedding adventure perfectly ( shirts off, full moons and speedos included) SO THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH> Nellie and Damo Russell
