[vow renewal] Ashley & Dominic, Crystal Bay & The Kala, Koh Samui

Last November I had the absolute amazing honour of photographing Ashley & Dominic's 10 year anniversary vow renewal. Ashley is my kinda woman. Quirky, upbeat and so much FUN to be around ;) Apparently she wasn't 100% on the day but I knew nothing of it until she told me afterwards!

They decided to renew their wedding vowels at Crystal Bay where the sand is white & water soft blue. Their wedding ceremony was intimate and for just the two of them. And as soon as Ash and Dom recommitted to each other, we popped open some bubbly to celebrate!

I met Ash and Dom at the Kala, their resort where they were getting ready not too far from where their ceremony took place & we started the party there with some music we all agreed was awesome. ;)

Ashley is a very talented professional hair and makeup artist back in the UK, and I think I might have just been able to convince her and Dom to move here for a bit... I can't wait!

Ashley's dress was from Monsoon, and she had the neckline and back modified to suit her style a bit more and I have to say, I love it!!

It wasn't long before we headed over to Crystal Bay where Natalie had made this beautiful little set up for the ceremony.
