Phuket · 2017–2019
A decade of real weddings,
quietly recorded.
Unique Phuket Weddings is the documentary archive of every wedding we have photographed in Phuket since 2014 — villa ceremonies on cliff edges, barefoot beach vows, resort dinners under string lights, vow renewals on a private lawn. Every photograph on this site was made on the day described. Nothing is staged after the fact; nothing is invented.

Five ways a wedding happens here
Beach wedding
Phuket beach weddings are held barefoot on the sand, with the Andaman Sea as a backdrop. Most take place in the late afternoon, when the light softens and the heat eases.

Suits small to medium guest counts and couples who want privacy over spectacle.

A Buddhist blessing is a Thai religious rite performed by monks, traditionally in the morning. The couple receive sai sin (sacred thread) and merit-making offerings; the monks chant; the couple is anointed with holy water. Held at a temple or at the wedding venue with monks invited. Often paired with a Western-style ceremony later in the day.
