The Capaldi Hotel Wedding Photography Marrakech, Morocco

Capaldi Hotel Wedding Photography A Destination Wedding Story of Mirele and Omar

Morocco’s name originates from the former capital Marrakech. Travelers are told that if they did not visit Marrakech they did not get to know the real Morocco. Looking back, can we say, that if you did not get married in Morocco, that you did not actually meet the bride. – doesn’t make sense

The wedding in Morocco began quite unusually. The first day was rainy, but no one minded, because the landscape there is amazing, and people are extremely kind and open. A Brazilian bride Mirele and an Indian groom Omar chose Marrakech as their wedding destination because of its diversity, multiculturalism and colourfulness. The wedding was special, because the guests came to the wedding from all over the world.

The newly weds found me on Instagram and enthused me in a second, with their idea of a three-day wedding. I love a challenge and I could be doing three days long wedding photography for a lifetime! And this one was quite big – there were 120 guests, but I was excited and ready for the wedding.

On the first day, there was a reception for the first guests in the city centre, followed by lunch where all the guests got acquainted. After lunch there was a friendly gathering along with body painting with henna. On the second day, a reception for all the other guests took place in The Capaldi Hotel. The most daring guests were soon off camel riding. After that a snake-tamer amazed the guests with his act. In the evening all the guests got to see another Morrocan art – fire-eating, but the climax of the evening was most definitely the pre-wedding party.

The third day was reserved for the most important event – the wedding ceremony. The bride Mirele amazed us with her dress choices throughout all three days, but she saved the best ones for the last day. At first, she shone in a gorgeous white wedding dress with long, transparent veil, along with her elegant husband Omar. At the after-wedding dinner, as a sign of respect for her husbands’ culture, she wore a traditional Indian dress that weighed 12 kgs. Her husband also wore a traditional Indian outfit.

As a big ending to the three days, the newly weds threw a party with a world renowned DJ Samhara, where all electronic music fans danced, and the bride impressed us with a sparkling dress in a Brazilian samba style.

When you do get back to your cottage you have no choice but to enjoy some much needed R&R because there are no televisions in any of the hotel’s rooms.
