Bowen & Samantha
It’s wedding season in Fiji and I am loooooooving seeing all the beautiful weddings happening over the past couple of months. Thank you to all the brides and photographers tagging BB on social and sending through weddings for me to see.
2016 has seen Fiji up it’s game in terms of weddings. Some are super styled in fine tropical form and others still perfectly simple, but couples aren’t shying away for adding their flavour to their day in terms of style.
One of these is the Shangri-La Fiji Wedding of Bowen & Sam. After getting engaged in Hawaii, and Fiji always having a place in Samantha’s heart – a tropical destination for their big day only seemed fitting.

Bride’s Advice
Fiji is an amazing and beautiful place. It has had my heart since I was a little girl and I know I will always return to it. When planning a Fijian wedding, make sure you take a deep breath and go with the flow. Not everything will go exactly as you may have planned but it will be an amazing experience. Looking back on our day, it was perfect and we would not change a thing.
