Real Cuban wedding in Havana, Cuba
Its not often I get to photograph a wedding in Cuba, so am excited to post these first few pics following my recent trip there for this wedding. It isn’t set in a glamorous hotel or on an exotic beach, but the happiness in the couple’s faces shows the true meaning of a wedding day.
If you are planning to get married in Cuba, or are having your wedding reception abroad then get in touch , as we only charge the same as a UK wedding, other than a bit of hospitality if I don’t know anyone in the particular country your are getting married in. I have places to stay in The Seychelles, The Gambia, Cyprus and Cuba, and possibly others in different countries, depending on the towns. I am happy to travel anywhere really, and have already covered weddings in The Ice Hotel in Sweden, in Australia, Norway, Nigeria, Pakistan, Jordan, Egypt, France, Southern Ireland, Cyprus, Gambia and The Seychelles. We can come as a video-photography team or I can also shoot some video footage, as well as taking photos.

The bride’s friends fuss round her as they arrive to help her get ready.
A male friend sits by as he knows he can’t do much at this stage to help the bride get ready. As you can see it is Christmas time too – 14th December in fact .

Simple makeup.

Hair tweaking as the tiara goes on
Hairspray lovingly applied and duplicated in the mirror reflection. The natural light adds to the magic.
Now the male family friend can help out by doing up the bride’s shoes.
Look at your shoes. You look so pretty.
Happy bride in Cuba!
