[wedding] Elizabeth & Jim, Ama Lur, Thong Krut, Koh Samui

Getting married in Thailand was the obvious choice for Elizabeth & Jim, they used to live here in mainland Thailand between Hua Hin & Pattaya 7 years ago. They chose to have a beautiful intimate ceremony with their close family at Ama Lur in the small fisherman’s village of Thong Krut in the South of the island. Elizabeth & Jim being Scottish blended their special day between the Thai and Scottish cultures and traditions perfectly. I loved everything about being a part of their day and feel so lucky to have been a part of it!

Elizabeth & Jim,THANK YOU so much for letting me capture and share these special moments with you!

They chose to have their intimate celebration at Ama Lur a stunning villa in Thong Krut a small and quaint fishermans village on the South of the island.

Elizabeth had Thai musicians playing classical Thai music all through their ceremony until just before dinner,  it created a lovely atmosphere.

I love this shot of all the women’s shoes… they all kicked off their heels after the ceremony and walked and danced the night away barefoot… my kind of women!

Jim LOVES fireworks… seriously. He told me he has space in his garage to keep his spare firework collection…. and during the meet and greet once he found out that their firework display was going to last approximately 2 minutes, he decided he wanted more and got this display instead 🙂
