An E-Session at the Four Seasons Tented Camp in Thailand

When I was little, my dad always told me that I should wait to get married until I had travelled the world. It never made any sense to me. But, I think his deeper meaning was that marriage also brings responsibilities and real life in a way that being on your own doesn't. And turns out, he was sort of right...I haven't travelled abroad for pleasure since my honeymoon. Well, this couple is proving his theory wrong with a STUNNING engagement shoot at The Four Seasons Tented Camp in Thailand that embraces travel and adventure and discovery and was captured so magically by KT Merry. Flawless coordination by The Wedding Bliss Thailand.

From The Wedding Bliss Thailand... For one extraordinary couple there needs to be a very special engagement shoot. Nadear and Andres not only share their love for one another, but also their many passions in life, one of which is exploring some of the remote corners of the world, discovering unique locations. Their adventures have took them all around the world, but when it came to their engagement photos, they needed something truly special.

Combining their adventurous spirit, love for luxury and the desire to honour the country they met and fell in love in (which is also their home at the moment), the choice fell upon Chiang Rai, Thailand: a very unique corner of it called The Golden Triangle. This area is known around the world for being a tri-country border between Thailand, Myanmar and Laos, as well as having a unique landscape combining mountains, river and tropical forests.

Tucked away in this remote area is an opulent Four Seasons Tented Camp, which brought to life the core of the inspiration behind the shoot.

Reflecting the shared adventurers’ spirits of Andres and Nadear, the shoot was styled as a vintage jungle safari and adventure romance.

Starting their day in Explorer’s lodge the couple enjoyed a serene morning admiring the views from their balcony. It was a beginning of a very inspiring and saturated day. To not overwhelm the beauty of the place, we stared in easily on the design, focusing on the couple’s looks rather than floral decor first, and then slowly added more as the story developed. We pay tribute to the location and tell a cohesive story of the day. Floral set up at the infinity pool drew its inspiration from Swan Lake, a beautiful love story by the lake full of flowers. The afternoon was marked with the bohemian chic tent set up at the river bank, referencing the times of Victorian splendour, with its colonial trends enhanced with floral motifs. The highlight of the day was the river cruise in traditional Thai long-tailed boat, decorated in lush florals. We created a stunning set up using the colour trend of the year, ultraviolet with the greens, creating a perfect juxtaposition to the earthiness of the background.
