Beach Engagment Shoot

Beach engagement shoot in Ibiza

Photography by Stephanie Shenton Photography

What makes this beautiful beach engagement shoot even more beautiful? The story behind it! When the pandemic hit, Seven Shoots Of Summer was born. An idea that stemmed from wanting to bring the Ibiza wedding industry together, and ensure couples remained inspired. The project grew, and over 65 companies have been involved throughout the series. We just think this is the perfect example of how people have come together during an incredibly difficult time. Not only that, these photos are truly stunning! How gorgeous are real couple Scott & Melo?! Beautiful.

When the pandemic hit, I decided I wouldn't sit around with an ‘Out Of Office’ email going out and my feet on the coffee table. So, I created Seven Shoots Of Summer.

WEDDING INDUSTRY

In 2020, the wedding industry was brought to its knees. On a tiny island like Ibiza, we depend solely on tourism and trade from outside. Our couples simply could not get to the island, their plans and dreams of a beautiful Balearic wedding were put on hold. In some cases, completely cancelled. Hearing so many sad stories, trying to say afloat as a business and keeping the spirits of the couples high, was challenging, and at best, heart breaking.

SEVEN SHOOTS OF SUMMER

The project grew and we eventually had over 65 companies involved throughout the series. Each company has gained work and publicity from this project, and the Ibiza wedding industry has been kept alive. Our couples have followed the series and taken inspiration from each shoot, advice from the blogs and have been moved by the images and incredible videos.
