VAKKER IDYLL I DE FRANSKE ALPER
NWB har lenge vært betatt av det magnifike arbeidet til fotograf Aneta MAK. Hun er fortreffelig dyktig i sin sjanger; hvor hun fotograferer med Fine Art film, og hennes enkle og delikate tilnærming blir drømmende eventyraktig. Hun gjør virkelige øyeblikk til drømmer vi andre kan ta del i. Vi er så stolte over å kunne dele dette vakre bryllupet med dere. Brudeparet Kate & Rob inviterte vennene til en drømmehelg i den vakre lansbyen Megève i de franske alper. Ikke bare er omgivelsene nydelige, men alt av detaljer fra A-Å treffer oss midt i hjertet. Invitasjonene fra Paper + Cup Design er helt ettter vår smak, det samme er brudens elegante kjole med tilbehør fra fantastiske Le Spose di Gio. For mer vakre detaljer; nyt bildene og les historien deres, sammen med en varm kopp gløgg.
BRUDEPARET FORTELLER: "A lot of our friends already know we met six years ago, in the summer of 2006. The first question we usually get is, "Why did it take four years to actually date?” If you ask Rob, he’ll say, “an 8-hour time difference and an 11-hour flight.”
On a trip to London (from Kate's then-hometown of San Francisco), an evening of watermelon martinis and dancing at Boujis led to Kate and Rob's first meeting through mutual friends. The following weekend, fate brought them together again in St. Tropez for a whirlwind party that sealed the friendship and kept the two intermittently in touch for the next four years.
Despite the holiday coming to an end, the seeds were sown for what ended up being a truly international love story, full of planes, glamorous destinations, and finally, 2 weddings on 2 different continents. To alleviate the travel burden on their families, the couple split their wedding festivities into two parts: an intimate, family-only celebration in New York City, followed by a friends-only celebration and ski weekend in the stunning village of Megeve in the French Alps.
Friends from across the globe - San Francisco, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, New York, London and Paris - gathered two months later for their own festivities at modern chalet-style resort Alpaga, overlooking the picturesque, cobblestone village of Megeve. The weekend began with a Thursday evening local Savoyard wine tasting alongside traditional raclette, followed by a fantastic evening of speeches and local Savoyard cuisine on Friday overlooking Megeve at Le Refuge. Saturday's candlelit ceremony (officiated by a mutual friend), preceded a 5-course dinner carefully prepared by the resident star chef Christophe Schuffenecker (formerly of San Francisco's 3-Michelin Star Aqua, now Michael Mina), which included a French wine pairing, cheeses, pink spun-sugar roses (to match the flowers), and a traditional French wedding "croquembouche" at each table. Dancing lasted into the night, in typical French fashion, until 4:30am.
"The best part about throwing two weddings is being able to focus on family - and then friends - in two different settings. That, and watching our friends from around the world meet and get to know each other...it was amazing to see the people we love have such a great time, forming new friendships and keeping them, independent of us. That's how we knew the weekend was a real success."
