Stunning Venue

I (Rachel from Adventure Photo Stories) Had the pleasure of photographing G+T's wedding last year wat the resort and the amenities were stunning. It was a small affair but very luxurious with an outdoor ceremony and reception dinner party on level 17 overlooking the restaurant and golf course. The food was amazing! Fox+fern designed the event and Bloom Floral Design created stunning installations. Such a dream!
