A TRULY UNIQUE DESTINATION WEDDING IN BORA BORA

EVA & SEBASTIAN

Months before the wedding, I had the pleasure of meeting Eva and Sebastian at their lovely home in Berlin. From the moment we connected, it was clear that we were destined for an extraordinary adventure. 

As we sipped coffee and shared stories, we began to envision the incredible journey that awaited us. Together, we planned a once-in-a-lifetime experience that would take us from the artsy streets of Berlin to the iconic Golden Gate Bridge to the captivating beauty of Bora Bora, culminating in a mesmerizing underwater shoot. 

Our connection laid the foundation for genuine, heartfelt documentation of their love story, making every moment even more magical.

FIRST STOP SAN FRANCISCO

ENGAGEMENT SHOOT IN THE GOLDEN CITY

Our journey started on the west coast of the USA in the iconic city of San Francisco, where we had our stopover on the long trip to Bora Bora. It gave us the perfect opportunity for an engagement shoot at Marshall`s Beach. 

The backdrop of the majestic Golden Gate Bridge perfectly framed their love, showcasing the beginning of this incredible adventure together.

As we ran through the water, laughing and dancing, we captured intimate and beautiful photos that showcased their unbridled joy and excitement for the journey ahead.

HELLO BEAUTIFUL ISLAND

A HEARTFELT CEREMONY ON TUPAI ISLAND

After arriving in Bora Bora, we spent two enchanting nights exploring the island, connecting even further on a personal level. Our shared experiences and laughter laid the foundation for the beautiful moments. 

On the elopement day, the two got ready at the luxurious Conrad Bora Bora. With excitement in the air, we then boarded a helicopter to the heart-shaped and remote island of Tupai for a beautiful ceremony.

Surrounded by the breathtaking scenery, Eva and Sebastian exchanged their heartfelt vows, fully immersed in the moment’s magic. Once the ceremony concluded, we climbed back into the helicopter. 

We returned to Bora Bora, just in time to witness one of the most spectacular sunsets ever. The golden hues of the setting sun painted the sky, providing a perfect ending to an unforgettable day.

OFF IN THE AIR WE GO

ABOVE THE ISLAND AND BEYOND

After an unforgettable first look, our adventure took a thrilling turn. With hearts full of excitement, we boarded a small boat that took us away from the resort to a unique helicopter landing pad on the ocean. 

The anticipation grew as we prepared for a helicopter journey that would take us on a breathtaking tour over the entire island of Bora Bora.

The vibrant colors of the lagoon and the striking silhouette of Mount Otemanu painted a picture-perfect backdrop. The 20-minute flight was filled with awe and wonder as we went to the remote heart-shaped island of Tupai for the elopement ceremony.

FROM DEEP BLUE SEA INTO GOLDEN LIGHT

We wrapped up the amazing wedding weekend with a cool underwater photo shoot. After taking a boat out into the ocean, we jumped in and swam with sharks, stingrays, and fish in Bora Bora’s clear waters. 

When we finished, we moved closer to the shore and snapped some great couple photos at sunset. The golden light looked awesome with the island in the background, and the whole experience was perfect to this unforgettable experience.
