I’ve been really looking forward to photographing Vince & Nikita’s wedding since the beginning of the year because the spectacular natural lighting at this beautiful beach resort is simply magical and never ceases to amaze me every time I return for another wedding photoshoot at the Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas here in Krabi. It’s truly every wedding photographer’s dream! ;)

Vince and Nikita who hail from Sydney, Australia, are really a fun, adventurous and unconventional couple, and a joy to photograph! :)

Their wedding ceremony was simply beautiful… a cosy and intimate affair of family and close friends… ‘cocktail-style’ with standing room amongst the beautiful wedding settings on the white sandy beach. In fact, most of the guests were barefoot including the bridal party to blend with the beach wedding theme! All that, plus the clear blue skies and refreshing sea breeze, made this beachfront wedding just perfect!

I remember asking the bride, “What made you choose Centara Grand Krabi as your destination wedding location? And she answered me without any hesitation, “The rock! The one in front of the beach. Where else can you get such a spectacular view for a beach wedding?”

She was referring to the spectacular limestone karst formations which loom up from the sea in front of the beautiful resort. The Centara Grand is nestled in an alcove of limestone karst formations, facing pristine white sandy beaches with crystal clear waters.

And this time, the sunset decided to join this cosy intimate party of family and friends, and turned the sky into a glorious shade of deep blue, because not only was it a beachfront wedding, but a beachfront wedding dinner banquet too!

In fact, when I saw the table settings for their wedding banquet ingeniously and intentionally matched with the glorious sunset hues, I was in awe and in my heart, I was thinking, this is the most beautiful sunset that I’ve ever seen!

If you are willing to take the risk, you will be rewarded with something great, just like what this lovely couple told me, “If we had wanted an indoor or a garden wedding, we could just pick any hotel or venue in Sydney that could do the job… but we wanted something more special and unique.”

So kudos to the adventurous couple for coming all the way to Krabi, Thailand with their family and friends for a very special destination wedding!

Vince and Nikita, thank you for inviting us to join you as your dinner guests and we are truly honoured to be part of your unforgettable event.

Now, let’s take a look at the photos.

The song specially selected by the lovely couple for their slideshow is a timeless classic, Pachelbel’s Canon, also known as Canon in D major.
