The first ceremony was set on a secluded islet, a hidden gem surrounded by the serene beauty of nature. The couple chosed Julie from Wedotahiti a laïc officiant to lead their vows as the sun set, casting a soft, golden light that enveloped the entire scene in a warm glow.
The palm trees stood tall, their fronds gently rustling in the late afternoon breeze, while the sand beneath our feet felt like powder. The sunset was spectacular, painting the sky with rich hues of orange, pink, and purple, creating a dreamy and romantic backdrop for the ceremony.

The day concluded with an enchanting fire dance performance, with the couple watching the mesmerizing Tahitian show under a traditional hut. The flickering flames and rhythmic movements of the dancers created a magical and intimate atmosphere, rounding off the day’s celebrations beautifully.

The following morning, the second ceremony took place at the spa of the St. Regis Bora Bora. This time, the couple was joined by a Bora Bora celebrant and a Tahitian singer, adding a touch of French polynesia culture and tradition to their special day.
