Rustic Spanish Countryside Wedding: Verena + Guy

Granada Spain Wedding

Verena + Guy are avid travelers and globetrotters, so it was practically a given that their wedding would take place somewhere exciting + unique. At the time of their engagement, Guy was living in Lebanon + Verena in the US, so they decided the best thing to do would be to pick a place in the middle! They chose AndalucĂ­a, as Spain was a country they both not visited before and was an area they knew their guests would fall in love with. And as you’ll see in Andreas Holm’s beautiful photos, their venue, Cortijo del Marques, was the perfect place to express their industrial-romantic style and host an unforgettable celebration!

Verena says, We kept the guest list intimate and the day long to maximize the quality time with our family and friends who travelled from all over the world to share the day. The wedding was an eclectic mix of Lebanese, American and Spanish traditions making it the first of its kind for family and friends.

Our Favorite Memory From The Wedding

Having our family and friends in the same location just to celebrate our union was priceless. Being able to enjoy and entire day of fun and beauty with them was by far on the top of our favorite memories list, not just for the wedding day, but a special memory in our lives.
