Jenny Packham Elegance For A Medieval Church Wedding in Switzerland

For our second real wedding feature todaywe take pleasure in sharing photographs sent in by destination wedding photographer, Chris Spira, who was commissioned to photograph Kimberly and Anthony's beautiful Swiss wedding.  The couple, both art directors, got married on 5th October with a magical backdrop of Romainmôtier in Switzerland, and were assisted in planning their wedding day by Kalosia Weddings and Events.

"We moved to Switzerland shortly after getting engaged and quickly fell in love with the country. After deciding to have our wedding here, a tip from a friend led us to the tiny Medieval town of Romainmôtier."

We were married in the 13th century Maison du Prieur next door to the oldest Romanesque monastery in Switzerland. The history and beauty of this place made the decision an easy one.  The priory is beautiful on its own so we kept the decorations simple- flowers and candles.

We wanted to share everything we have come to love in Switzerland with our friends and family who were travelling so far to celebrate with us."

"We decided to forgo the traditional wedding cake and opted instead for a stack of wheels of local cheese along with some fruit tarts. They were provided by the caterer."
