Destination Wedding Videographer Phuket Thailand

I finally got back to Phuket again. The last time I was in Phuket Thailand for a destination wedding was 2019, after that we all know what happened. I missed so much this wonderful tropical island and I missed its always friendly weddings, always relaxed and not excessively formal, always in that wonderful Thai lifestyle that make everithing chill and easy.

Tom and Jen are a British young couple who live in Singapore. Tom works for the BBC so…we’re basically colleagues right?! 🙂 About a year ago we had a Skype call for introduce each other and they told me that they love my documentary and genuine style and of course they absolutely wanted me as their wedding videographer, but the wedding would be very informal, an occasion to celebrate with close friends and family. Is it ok for you – he said? Sure, why not – I replied! I’m not one of those wedding videographers who only work with luxurious and expensive events. I like working with people and I love to tell stories. Any story, if it’s interesting. And so it was.

The wedding venue was COMO Point Yamu, a modern luxury hotel with a stunning architecture and an amazing infinity pool. In my opinion one of the best wedding venue in Phuket. The planning of the event was made by my dear friend Ilaria of Wedding Boutique Phuket, an Italian wedding planner who has been living and working in Phuket Thailand since 2015 and who has imported on the island the Italian taste for beaty and style.

As I usually do with weddings in Phuket, I ask the bride and groom for they were OK to do a pre-wedding portrait shooting so as to have more couple shots to include in the video. We then met two days before the wedding day at Kamala Beach to do some beach shooting (if you want to know, yes, it’s hot even at 9 AM!). On this occasion I also had the pleasure of working with Tim of Tropical Event, a brilliant Australian celebrant based in Phuket.

Well, I have already scheduled a wedding in Phuket for January 2024. I can’t wait to be back again in this paradise that has a place in my heart!
