Destination Wedding photography in Fethiye

Destination weddings are always fantastic and this holds true for Andrada and Andi’s wedding as well. They decided to ditch the cold and wet Uk and instead have a wonderful destination wedding in Fethiye, Turkey.

Unfortunately someone who couldn’t be there for the wedding, was their puppy, Salvador, however, he did take part in the amazing Tatton Park Engagement Photoshoot we did earlier in the year. I would’ve loved to see him in a bow tie though!

Their Fethiye destination wedding took place at the end of October, when the weather in the UK was really cold and miserable, so traveling out there where we had constantly 27-28 degrees was fantastic. I had never been to Turkey before, so when Andrada and Andi told me they want me to be their Fethiye Wedding Photographer, I was thrilled! I knew Turkey was a beautiful country, but to be fair I was really impressed when I got to Fethiye, I didn’t expect it to be so beautiful! You can see below why I am saying this, the place was gorgeous.

The day started with the bridal prep at the stunning Yacht Classic Hotel in Fethiye. Andrada’s bridesmaids and her 2 year old nice who was adorable, helped her get ready for the wedding, while I documented everything. The light coming through a round window in the room was gorgeous and created some beautiful light and shadow patterns when passing through the lace curtains.

After the reveal and a few photos with the bridesmaids and Andrada’s parents, we headed straight to the reception venue, the beautiful Sat Restaurant Beach Club in Fethiye. Everyone at the venue did a fantastic job and made sure Andrada and Andi get their dream Fethiye Destination Wedding. What also contributed to that was the absolutely amazing views all around the venue, which you can see below. For me as a Fethiye Wedding Photographer it was excellent because I had so much material to work with. Everything was perfect, the table decorations were lovely and they were put together by Andrada herself, and the lighting was superb, especially after the ceremony when the sun was lower in the sky.
The ceremony was very intimate and relaxed and it was officiated by Andi’s good friend, Steve. Andrada’s niece was the most adorable flower girl and Andi’s boys were the ringbearers. Everyone did a fantastic job.

After the beautiful ceremony and some food, I took Andrada and Andi away for a little bit and we took some fun and romantic wedding portraits on the beach and on one of the jetties at Sat Restaurant Beach Club in Fethiye. The golden light left nothing untouched as the sun went down and the newlyweds got a few moments alone and away from all the hustle and bustle back at the restaurant. We took a few very romantic and relaxed wedding photos on the jetty, then we went for a stroll along the beach before heading back for the main course.

In the evening, after the speeches, everyone let their hair down and partied for a few good hours. The music from the band was great, there was a lot of dancing and everyone had a blast. All along, Andi had planned a surprise for Andrada, so at the end, we all headed down to the beach, where a water taxi was waiting to take them back to the Yacht Classic Hotel where we photographed the bridal prep in the morning. After saying goodbye to everyone, the bride and groom left aboard the water taxi and with a salute from Andi and a fitting ‘Ahoy’ they slowly dissapeared into the night. Great way to end this amazing Fethiye Destination Wedding.
