Finnebrouge Woods Wedding of Victoria & Cal - Wedding Photography by Hello Sugar

I have an absolute pleasure to show you today this relaxed, summer countryside wedding, where friends & family, food, good music and fun were at heart of every decision Cal & Victoria made. From the moment they booked me & then when we met I knew this is going to be one of my favourite weddings of 2019. When I heard about their venue & decor plans, prosecco bar, s’mores, cigars & outdoor ceremony I knew exactly this wedding will be relaxed, laid back and just a lot of fun to attend and photograph.

Colourful Bohemian Wedding Inspiration From Spain, Retiro Sambaba

Today I'm taking you back to the Spanish countryside to talk about one thing - how amazing it is to see an idea born a year ago come into life and exceed its expectations. I couldn't be more proud if I tried, the work everyone put into creating Retiro Sambana Shoot & Retreat has been immeasurable, all the vendors, Radka, James, Neil & I, the chef, our yoga teacher, all of the amazing participants coming all the way to Spain. Thank you! This wouldn't happen without all of us, the vision, the hard work to create a fun week abroad full of pool dips, Sangria, work, learning and bonding. It has been amazing and I swear our video has been watched over and over again a million times, as a reminder how fabulous and real it all was.

Nestled in the beautiful Côte d'Azur area of Saint-Tropez, Ramatuelle is a small hilltop village with stunning views all around, little cobbled streets, fab restaurants and bakeries offering amazing french pastry. My partner and I arrived in France 2 days ahead of Dina & Victor’s wedding, so we could visit the venue, look around for some photo opportunities and get used to the extreme 40’C temperatures around the French Riviera. Dina, Victor, their Video Team and I met at La Forge restaurant in Ramatuelle at about 7 pm and went on an adventure around town ahead of their wedding the next day.
