Thanks to this job, I feel like to have the good fortune to be able to travel, visit new cities and new countries. I love the destination wedding.

 

In this case, I went near Tirana in Albania. I made a reportage about how an Albanian wedding really is, without having to worry about taking the classic wedding photos. I tried to bring out all the particular moments that distinguish an Albanian ceremony with extreme simplicity.

 

An Albanian wedding traditionally lasts three days: on the first day, the two future spouses spend time during the day taking the portraits, while in the evening they celebrate with their respective friends. On the second day, there is the bride party with all her guests and on the third day the celebrations of the groom with his guests. In both the second and the third day, a small delegation from the other family arrives at some point. Basically, it is a party that lasts three days ... incredible!

 

You will see lots of traditions in the photos: the groom drinking coffee at the bride's house, the groom with his male guests, the bride with her female guests, the money throwing to the car of the future spouses, the bride father entrusting hert to him , the throwing of banknotes towards the spouses during the dances, the typical Albanian dances with original costumes ...

 

It was truly a wonderful experience, which introduced me to the extreme hospitality of this proud people. Good vision
