Our Experience With Wedding Fairs

By The DJK Life on January 16, 2018 • ( Leave a comment )

We learned so much when planning our wedding, if only we’d known about it all from the very start. So, we’re putting together some blog posts sharing our own experiences, with the hope it might help others in the same boat. This one is about wedding fairs. January […]

Grand Central Station 🚈 One of the most beautiful train stations we've seen. You end up getting in the way of busy New Yorkers running to catch their trains, when looking around appreciating the building. There are corridors of chandeliers, a whole floor taken up by an Apple store, a huge underground food court and an indoor market. Lots of photo ops! 🚈 You may have seen from our Insta stories that we're currently in the sweltering heat of Las Vegas. So our photos are kinda in a back log 😋 too many photos of places to share, and not enough time to get them all out here!

Central Park, NYC 🌳 We were so jet lagged that after walking around the park, we went back to the Airbnb and slept for the rest of the day 😴 It was a lovely afternoon though, the sun was shining, the musicians were out, the lake was full of boats and the skyscrapers were shimmering in the sky.

Top of the Rock, New York 🇺🇸 We've been exploring the concrete jungle that is New York, the past few days. This incredible view is from the Top of the Rock. Although there are many skyscrapers you can get panoramic views of the skyline from, we really liked the unobstructed views across the 3 decks of the top of the Rockefellar Center, including that of the Empire State Building.

Anniversary Adventures Under Water Walk 🐠 Saving the coolest one till last. When I heard about this activity that lets you walk underwater, whilst breathing normally, AND you can keep your glasses on (a bonus for me as I don't like wearing contacts underwater), I just knew we HAD to do it! 🐠 You're guided by professional divers the entire time, so you feel very safe. We would definitely recommend this, even if you can't swim (I can barely swim myself) as it's not a requirement. You still get to see all the fishes and feel them peck food off your hand. Swipe through to see all the photos.

Anniversary Adventures Nepalese Bridge 🌁 This was the one activity I thought I'd be alright with. Crossing a bridge (albeit a high bridge), how hard could it be? I was just looking forward to photographing the views. We got harnessed in and when I walked out onto the bridge and realised what we were doing, I froze. My knees started shaking which made the bridge shake. I think it was just adrenaline (and a faint trust in the harness) that got me through. Jonny on the other hand, was absolutely fine!! 🌁 This was by far the scariest thing I've ever done!! And probably won't ever do again. You had to walk across a single plank, just one foot in front of the other, 80-100 meters above the forest canopy. And the bridge wobbles, with the wind and if you're off balance. I didn't take a single photo because I was so focused on just getting to the other side without falling off the edge. I also got finger friction burns from holding the rope so tight! I'd like to say I conquered my fear of heights, but I tried 🙈 📷 LVDC Team

Anniversary Adventures Zip Line ⛰ After the quad bike, we went zip lining across what is claimed to be the 3rd longest zipline in the world at 1.5 km - we like to check facts and came across other long ziplines, so we're not sure where in the world it really comes in terms of longest ziplines, but man was it exhilarating!! ⛰ If you swipe through, you'll see I went flying style and Jonny sitting. This was the first time I'd ever ziplined and although I was dreading this one the most, this was our favourite!! 📷 LVDC team

Anniversary Adventures Extreme Quad Biking 🚘 2 months ago we were in Mauritius for our wedding anniversary. We planned on doing something peaceful and relaxing on the day ...we ended up doing the exact opposite, and LOVED it! 🚘 Over the next couple of days, we'll be sharing photos of the adrenaline filled activities we did together to celebrate our marriage, and prove that nothing is scarier than marriage itself! 🤣 🚘 We spent the day at La Vallee des Couleurs - a nature park where you can also see the famous 27 coloured earth. We started with extreme quad biking which was the best way to explore the park including private waterfalls. 📷 by LVDC team, edited by myself

Hamburg 🌬 I was blown away by the sight of a giant golden propeller! 😂 We have a fresh new blog post (link is in our Instagram bio)! It's all about how to spend a weekend in Hamburg - what to see and do. We flew there (from Scotland) on Saturday morning and back Sunday night - meaning we could tick off all our planned sights, and a new country without having to take any days off work! Always a bonus! 🌬 We worked in collaboration with the @come_to_hamburg project #cometohamburg

The Old Elbe Tunnel, Hamburg 🍬 Remember the picture of the Elbe Tunnel I posted? Well we were pleasantly surprised to find that the entrance to the tunnel was so pretty looking, that I couldn't help myself posing in front of it! Look at the lovely mosaic tiles! 🍬 Btw, I've not yet mentioned why I Iike this bag so much! Travelling with a camera and lenses makes me pretty picky about the bags I carry, and I tend to have a preference for backpacks. You may have noticed this red bag that I used for our weekend trip to Hamburg - I love it because you can change the straps around to use as a backpack, handbag (as pictured here) or a cross body bag. It's from Amazon, and a few different sellers sell versions of this. You can see a white version of it in our Japan photos #notsponsoredijustreallylikethebag 🍬 Do you have a preference for a bag style that you stick to when travelling?

Rathaus, Hamburg 🏰 It's been a week since I last posted as social media took a backseat to the more important real life. But I'm back now with more sights from Hamburg. 🏰 The Rathaus is the City Hall of Hamburg and was probably our favourite building in the city! It is a gorgeous neo-renaissance building from 1897. This photo is taken in the outside courtyard. The stone lady on the fountain behind me is Hygieia - the Goddess of Health and Hygiene and was built in remembrance of the cholera epidemic of 1892. Doesn't the courtyard remind you of an Italian square? #cometohamburg #visithamburg

Speicherstadt 🇩🇪 Warehouse building ✔ Church spires ✔ Bridges ✔ Husband ✔ All a Hamburg city scene photo needs

HafenCity, Hamburg 🚢 Do you remember back in the day when a group of people would pose for a photo by standing stiffly, like robots, next to each other, unsmiling? This then progressed to a more relaxed looking group of people, sat in a studio, with a backdrop of a scene from Italy. 🚢 Photography and posing for photos, is always evolving, as with everything else in life. It's now become the norm to shoot photos of backs of heads, as the subject looks at a scene, directing the viewer to admire the view with the subject. Or to photograph a 'posed candid moment', which simply freezes in time a moment that would otherwise never be captured, and seen by the subjects - a different side to them than normal. 🚢 Social media photography is a frustration to many - too fake, too unreal, too posed. Perhaps (and trust me, there are photos I do roll my eyes at) But perhaps, it's just time to move on with the times and accept change. Be open minded to changes in creativity. 🚢 Let me know your thoughts either way.
