It’s usually the brides who get in touch with me. In this case, however, it was once again the groom. Marco from Brandenburg sent me the following message at the beginning of 2018:
“Hello Mr. Dickmann, my girlfriend Nadin and I would like to get married in the Seychelles, but we don’t know how to go about it or where best to book. I have looked at or read through a few reports of Seychelles weddings where you were the photographer. That’s why it would be great if you could take the photos with us. Perhaps you could also give me a few tips on how we could book our wedding.”
Nothing simpler than that! After I had provided them with my extensive “initial information”, it was clear to them that I should organize and photograph the wedding. And once again, nothing could be simpler! 🙂
After several phone calls, we met in person on my favorite island of La Digue on 26.10.2018. I picked them up at their accommodation “Villa Authentique” and together we cycled to the excellent Creole buffet in the “Zerof Restaurant”, where we discussed everything for the big day, which took place four days later.
I spent two days taking great pictures with Nadin and Marco. The weather was phenomenally beautiful – as it always is at the end of October – and the light was magnificent! What’s more, the water at Anse Source d’Argent is even shallower at low tide at this time of year and therefore even calmer than in May, for example. So we were able to shoot the current “photo of the week” at the world-famous Anse Source d’Argent in glorious low sun and under this wonderful sky.
