The wedding of Allison and Andrew…. We received a lovely contact message In April this year through our website asking to see if their wedding date was available and how much they loved our work…. We automatically thought it was next year but no it was for 2 months away, thank fully we were available and are so pleased we were.

We had lots of emails back and forth from Allison, so much so we really felt as if we knew her even before meeting them.

A few days before the wedding Allison and Andrew came to our studio and we just laughed through the meeting, Allison had been planning their whole wedding and now Andrew was getting involved it was funny to see these guys discuss their special day…

The morning of the wedding arrived, they had booked the Luxury All Day Photography Package, Highlights Wedding Film and drone so we had Myself (Kellie) on photography, James and Brandon on video and Sergio was our drone pilot. We arrived in Burgau where both of them were getting ready in separate apartments, Burgau is a very special place for this couple as they regularly holiday there, Allison was getting ready with her sister in law and mum and seemed very calm, Andrew was just up the road and seemed a little bit more nervous, but very excited! We had lots of fun with both of them during the prep.

The couple had chose to get married in the lovely church in Luz, so once Allison was ready we left and joined all their friends and family at the church, Allison and her dad arrived in style….. A Burgau Tuk Tuk, it was a amazing to see them arrive in style and attracted quite a crowd outside the church, They entereted the church to see Andrew waiting for them. The ceremony was very emotional for both of them and James and I being softies found it hard to hold back a tear or two.

The couple came out into the stunning Algarve sun and was greated with a confetti of rice and petals thrown by their love ones.

Due to the fact Burgau meant so much to these guys we headed back there for their one to one session, and yes they traveled in the Tuk Tuk with champagne in one hand and waving to the locals as they drove through the small streets of Burgau, it was lovely to follow and watch.

The one to one session was amazing, let me tell you that Allison and Andrew have been together for 29 years however you wouldn’t believe this, the love for each other shone through and they were like a couple of love struck teenagers, they laughed, chatted and just couldn’t get enough of each other…. Not many couples after 29 years are like that!!

The couple spent time on the cliffs and on the beach where we didn’t have to tell them to do anything they just enjoyed the moment together…. Their words…. Awwww.

The couple joined their friends and family who were at a local beach Restaurant which was decorated beautifully and everyone was enjoying the celebrations, the speeches were before the meal, more and more people are doing this now as gets nervous public speakers to enjoy their meal, after the meal the couple cut their cake and you will never guess who made it….. the bride, Allison was decoration it that morning!! Then straight into their first dance where you could really see the special bond these guys had, The music, monogram and Dj was provide by Algarve DJ Hire. The coupe danced away and were joined by their family and friends where we left them all on the dance floor.

What am amazing wedding day and we were honoured to have been able to share it with you, we hope that when you come back you will pop by for a beer.

We would like to wish Allison and Andrew all the luck for their future.
