Few words are needed when images say so much. Today we let you admire the photos taken by Derek Halkett on the most special day for Heather & Ed. The American couple chose to celebrate their Italian destination wedding in Portovenere, in Liguria’s Bay of Poets.
The wedding took place at the Church of St. Peter, which was consecrated in 1198 AD and is within the Doria Castle, a majestic fortification that sits above the church overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
The couple and their guests stayed at Grand Hotel Portovenere, right on the seafront with panoramic views of the harbor. Here is Heather in the boutique hotel as she gets ready for the ceremony.
In his blog post, Derek writes that “The weather was fantastic and was able to capture some of the best images I have ever taken”. You can see more images of this destination wedding in Portovenere and amazing ceremonies around the world on halkettphotography.com
