[wedding] Sue & Sjaak, Villa Riva, Bang Po Beach, Koh Samui

Sue decided to book me after her friend Rosanne recommended me, so thanks Rosanne! 

When I met Sue before their wedding day, I just fell in love with how friendly, open and chilled out she is... totally my kind of bride!  

With Sjaak (pronounced Jaak) being Dutch, Sue Brittish and them both living in South Africa together you'd wonder how their love story came together... it's a sweet one. They've actually been friends for AGES before they decided to marry one another and merge their lives together :) 

They got (legally) married a few months ago, back in South Africa, and wanted to have more of an informal 'celebration' of their love in front of close friends and family. With some of their closest friends living on Samui, and both Sue and Sjaak loving Thailand,  particularly Samui so much, it made sense to have their wedding celebration here. They rented out Villa Riva for weeks, and had all their guests stay with them in the villa to spend time together before their beautiful wedding day. 

The views from Villa Riva are simply stunning, take a look
