50 Most memorable celebrity weddings of the decade
Photography featured in an exclusive list of most memorable celebrity weddings of the decade in Hello! magazine.
What a way to end the year! A celebrity destination wedding that I photographed is featured in the “50 most memorable celebrity weddings of the past decade” in Hello! Magazine.
The exclusive list includes weddings of A-listers such as Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Justin Timberlake and Robbie Williams to name a few.
A few years ago I was commissioned to photograph the celebrity wedding of opera star Russell Watson to his beautiful bride Louise. It was a romantic destination wedding that took place in Benahavis near glamorous Puerto Banus and celebrity hotspot Marbella in Spain. Hello! called it “A Fairytale Wedding Album.”
Russell and Louise’s wedding is one of my all-time favourite weddings and I’m delighted that their special day is featured in this prestigious list of 50 of the most memorable celebrity weddings of the past decade.
The celebrity couple were looking for a mix of natural style wedding photography and creative images and chose Wes Simpson Weddings because that is exactly my speciality. Louise stated that it was my ability to capture emotion which set me apart from other wedding photographers.
By choosing me to photograph their day, the couple wasn’t away from their family and friends for too long. Nothing was too staged or over posed and every photo is a true insight into their wedding and a timeless reminder of the best day of their life.
One of my favourite pictures from the wedding captures a real, unplanned moment and it’s the type of picture that sums up exactly what I love about photography, it’s also one of the reasons I think Louise and Russell commissioned me to photograph their wedding.
I was putting my camera away and heading to the wedding reception. There was a full-length swimming pool in-between Louise, Russell and myself and as I turned to say “I’ll meet you at the next venue” I caught Russell in a pure, natural, unguarded, embrace – hugging Louise! This is the first time the couple would have had a private moment to themselves as husband and wife.
In the below picture, we can’t see Louise’s face and we don’t need to as we can feel the emotion and the love reflected in Russell’s expression. No amount of posing or planning could create a picture this special.
