RENSCHE MARI WORKSHOP PART 1
The first Rensche Mari Workshop was held at Bordeaux Game farm, a 4 day retreat with a lot of photo sessions and learning all about Wedding Photography.
Putting together a workshop is hard work, but having a great team to help is always amazing! My 2016 Rensche Mari Wedding workshop held at Bordeaux Game Farm was a great experience and wonderful week spent with creatives from all over. I hope they wont mind if I have the next one here again.
A couple of thank you's will follow throughout the post! If your wedding is coming up and you want to have a marvellous experience you will definitely need professionals like these;
The Bordeaux Game Farm Venue and Team...Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Each person had such a blast and was spoilt rotten with the gourmet food from the kitchen during our stay and we could not have asked for better service, food and backdrop! You are my favourite venue by far!
To Jolindi from Chrystalace, for helping to fill up the goodie bags with wonderful things and stationery for each photographer - they loved it, so did I!
To Sone & Hermann, for letting 8 photographers stand around you and photograph you, the camera loves you!

HAPPY 2016
My year in Review.
It's a new year, a great time for a fresh start and to do things a little bit better than the year before. I have had a very blessed 2015, with amazing highs, wonderful clients, beautiful celebrations of marriage & life, and the opportunity to travel for work. I am so excited to see what the new year has in store.
May you all have a wonderful 2016!

Beautiful Splendid Wedding Company event.
And when I loved you, I realised, I have never truly loved anyone. I realised I never will truly love anyone the way I love you.

DESTINATION MEXICO | HOTEL LE RÊVE
"The Sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever"
~ Jacques-Yves Cousteau ~
When you think of a destination wedding, you think of sunsets and the sea, this was a dream wedding! I flew to Mexico to photograph Kelly & Eloise’s Mexican wedding and I enjoyed every second of this wedding.
They invited close friends and family to join them on their special weekend. Everyone was in a very relaxing mood, surely due to having margaritas, mexican beer, great food and getting some vitamin D from the sun. On the day of the wedding we had perfect weather and a beautiful ceremony on the beach. Afterward the bride & groom where showered with rice and everyone cast a stone into the sea with some well wishes for the couple.

From Abby Capalbo: I am currently bundled up under a sea of blankets gripping a steaming cup of coffee as snow softly falls outside my window, so this Mexico wedding by Rensche Mari is such a vision to me. A dream, if I may say. The sunshine and endless ocean views obviously are pulling at my snowed-in heart strings, but the thing that really put me over the edge? The Groom sent in the description below, and that gets be every time….
