And that’s exactly what it turned out to be. With a little surprise thrown in — but let’s take it one step at a time.
Getting Ready: That quiet moment before the laughter
The morning got off to a wonderful start. Jenitha was sitting on the terrace, with the sea in the distance, whilst her make-up artist transformed her face into a radiant work of art. She laughed, scrolled through her mobile, and savoured every moment. No stress, no rush.
Shenthujan was getting ready on the other side of the hotel — cool, laid-back, completely himself. A man who knows this is going to be a good day. Spoiler: It was. But not without a few laughs along the way.
The ceremony: Improvised. Unforgettable. On the cliffs of Agua Amarga.
Luckily, Marit — our freelance celebrant — was already there anyway. Without further ado, she sat down, interviewed the bride and groom, took in their story, and turned it into a beautiful, personal wedding ceremony. With genuine words, genuine moments — and a proper wedding ceremony on the rocks above the sea. And the friend? He got to deliver his five minutes too, of course. So everyone had their moment in the spotlight.
That’s what I love about this job. The little unplanned moments that turn out to be the best in the end. And that’s what a wedding planner is there for, after all — to improvise with a twinkle in their eye when it really counts.
Die Menschen, die diesen Tag möglich gemacht haben
Shenthujan and Jenitha were joined by their closest friends — all of whom had travelled from Switzerland for this one day in Andalusia. The bridesmaids, in their pale pink and lavender dresses, parasols in hand, stood on the cliff overlooking the sea. It’s a sight I’ll never forget.
Wedding portraits: Two people, one landscape, a thousand emotions
Cabo de Gata is not a gentle place. It is rugged, wild, unvarnished. Just as love sometimes is. Shenthujan and Jenitha lost themselves — and found each other — in this landscape. Every photo captures a moment that was genuine. No posing. No acting. Just the two of them.
The venue: A dreamlike outdoor wedding in Andalusia
The party: exactly what they’d come for
Shenthujan and Jenitha wanted a party. And they got one. With live guitar music, a long dinner under the stars, a group photo that looks like a film poster, and a bride who danced late into the night as if there were no tomorrow.
What remains
Shenthujan and Jenitha wanted to celebrate. And that’s exactly what they did — surrounded by their loved ones, in one of the most beautiful corners of Andalusia, with a night that simply didn’t want to end. What more could you ask for?
Sometimes it’s precisely the unplanned moments that make a day unforgettable. I think they both realise that now, too.
Do you dream of your own outdoor wedding in Andalusia? I’d love to plan it with you.
