I'm a wedding photographer and videographer and I love capturing weddings all around the world.
It was a joy to return to photograph Dal and Mark’s London wedding after their intimate Santorini elopement. This second celebration was a vibrant fusion of Eritrean and New Orleans wedding traditions, creating a day full of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
The day began with Dal and Mark surrounded by their closest friends. Mark, alongside his groomsmen, embodied the charm of a New Orleans gentleman, while Dal radiated Eritrean elegance with her bridesmaids by her side.
Dal looked stunning in her David’s Bridal UK gown. Its delicate balance of modern elegance and traditional beauty perfectly captured the spirit of this Eritrean-inspired London wedding.
As she stepped down the aisle, the guests were captivated by her beauty, leaving Mark completely in awe.
The ceremony hall celebrated Eritrean wedding culture, with Dal’s family in traditional Habesha Kemis dresses adorned with colorful embroidery, and men wearing layered white tunics. The rich textures and vibrant colours added authenticity and warmth, providing a spectacular backdrop for this London wedding.
Under a white rose arch from Rose’s Floral Designs, the couple exchanged heartfelt vows. Families shared laughter and tears, witnessing the union they had missed during the Santorini elopement.
Every glance, every touch reflected the love and connection between Dal and Mark, making this London wedding a true celebration of culture, love, and family.
After family portraits, Dal and Mark’s couple photoshoot embraced the playful London breeze. The wind added movement to Dal’s veil and created whimsical, unforgettable photographs.
Mark held Dal close as the camera captured moments that told their story — a journey of love that transcends borders. This London wedding photography session perfectly blended cultural elegance with natural emotion.
I often work with difficult weather, it’s something we have to learn to adapt to as photographers – take a look at my portfolio for other examples of my work!
The reception celebrated Mark’s New Orleans roots with lively jazz and vibrant Mardi Gras flair. Later, Dal and Mark donned traditional Eritrean attire, performing customs that symbolized unity in diversity.
The evening was filled with laughter, heartfelt toasts, and joyous dances, capturing the fusion of Eritrean and New Orleans wedding traditions.
Despite the wind, the day was magical — a unique blend of Eritrean and New Orleans wedding traditions, culture, and love. Dal and Mark’s London wedding was a testament to two families coming together to celebrate love, heritage, and joy.
