A secret wedding in Tahiti
A secret wedding in Papara, but what an idea!
A sunrise, facing the ocean and lush mountains, was Julia & Akos's dream to exchange their vows. It wasn't a typical request, especially for tourists, and we loved guiding them to fulfill their crazy dream of getting married alone in the world on a beautiful black sand beach. Asking costs nothing! The magic comes next...
Client testimonial: Julia & Akos
"Nicolas and Amélie made our day very special. From the first moment, they were incredible, helped us find the best location and timing, even if we dreamed of something, they brought it to life. We wanted a small very private ceremony and the result was even better than what we had ever dreamed of. We felt safe and in good hands from the first second. We are very grateful to them. I highly recommend them to everyone."
