Folk wedding in the woods

Eastern Europe inspiration for an authentic outdoor wedding

*

This is a story of a lovely French couple who loves to travel. Their last trip to the Eastern Europe did not leave them unscathed. They fell in love with slave customs and traditions, which became the inspiration for their wedding day.

The spot chosen for the reception is a paradise on earth. It’s a bucolic natural setting area in the middle of a forest. This happy and harmonious place is sustained by the natural elements: the magical birds singing, the acacia flowers falling from the sky, the wooden constructions, the majestic trees leaning over a sparkling river crossing the property on a lower level, the picturesque bridge leading to the horses’ meadows. All those elements together make you travel to a parallel universe. By reason of its nature and purpose, Coco Barn is a peaceful place conducive to human contacts, silence and awareness of nature. Shooting there is a pure pleasure for a photographer’s spirit. The groom’s arrival to the ceremony on his horse was an evidence for those horses’ lovers. They were surrounded by they loved-ones which created a cozy but festive atmosphere.
