Beldi Country Club Wedding in Marrakech
Katie & Amine
A Marrakech wedding filled with color, emotion, and family from three continents.
As a wedding photographer in Marrakech, I’ve learned that Morocco has its own rhythm. The colors, the textures, the quiet intensity of the light… everything invites you to slow down and feel. Photographing a Beldi Country Club wedding is always a privilege, and returning for Katie and Amine’s celebration felt especially meaningful.
They live in Poland, Katie is originally from the United States, and Amine grew up in Morocco. Their story brought together people from three continents. The day before the wedding we met for tea in their riad, a calm moment before everything began. As the sun set behind the rooftops of Marrakech, we moved to the terrace. There, in the warm evening light, they practiced their ceremony entrance with a mixture of excitement and tenderness. Moments like these are why I love destination weddings. The days surrounding the event become part of the story.
A Quiet Morning Walk Through Marrakech
They began the day with a gentle walk through Marrakech, moving through the early light as the city slowly awakened. The streets were still soft, touched by that calm that only exists before the day gathers rhythm. They found a small café and shared tea together, letting the warmth of the cup settle their thoughts. It was a quiet pause, a moment suspended just for them, and the perfect beginning to a day that would carry so much emotion.
Getting Ready with Amine in Marrakech
Later that morning, I joined Amine and his cousin as they wandered through the streets in search of a barbershop. In Marrakech spontaneity is part of everyday life. You don’t book, you explore. We stepped into a few places until one felt right. Inside, the air carried the familiar sounds of the neighborhood: greetings exchanged, soft conversations, children weaving in and out.
There was something grounding in the simplicity of it. A haircut, a shared laugh, the rhythm of the city moving around us.
Afterward, we returned to the riad for his preparations, wrapped in the comforting sounds of Marrakech… a city that somehow keeps you steady, even on a day filled with emotion.
A Quiet and Powerful Moment with Katie and Her Mother
Katie got ready at Beldi Country Club, in a quiet room filled with soft morning light. She had chosen to do her own makeup, moving calmly and with intention, creating a space that felt grounded and personal. Nearby, her mother was carefully steaming the dress, smoothing each fold as if preparing a memory rather than a garment.
When Katie sat down for a moment to breathe, her mother walked over. She didn’t rush, didn’t adjust anything, didn’t speak. She simply sat beside her, resting gently on the arm of the chair. The air shifted. It was a silent gesture, but full of meaning.
I stepped back to give them space. The way Katie leaned toward her mother, and the way her mother held that quiet presence, felt almost sacred. A tenderness so real it lingers in the room.
These are the moments that become family treasures, the kind that stay long after the celebration ends.
A Father’s First Look Before the Ceremony
Before the ceremony, Katie shared a first look with her father just outside her room at Beldi Country Club. He was already emotional before she stepped out, and when he finally saw her, everything softened. His eyes filled instantly, and I felt my own do the same. There was a sincerity in that moment that didn’t need words, just the quiet recognition of a daughter growing into a new chapter, and a father trying to hold all the pride and love at once.
It was tender, raw, and deeply human.
An Intimate Ceremony in the Greenhouse of Beldi Country Club
Returning to Beldi Country Club felt like coming back to a place made for storytelling. The greenhouse is one of the most iconic ceremony spaces in Marrakech, filled with soft natural light and surrounded by plants that create an atmosphere that is both elegant and organic.
Katie and Amine’s ceremony was intimate and heartfelt. Family from Morocco, the US, and Europe gathered under the glowing glass structure, turning the space into something even more special.
Celebration in the Gardens of Beldi
Soon after, everyone gathered inside Beldi’s iconic greenhouse. The space has a way of holding light gently, letting it settle around the plants and glass like a warm breath. It felt calm, almost suspended.
Katie and Amine exchanged their vows surrounded by family from Morocco, the United States, and Europe. Three cultures, one room, a single moment woven together. The atmosphere was intimate and full of heart, the kind of ceremony where every emotion is felt, not performed.
I hope you enjoy these moments as much as I loved capturing them.
Why I Love Photographing Weddings in Morocco
Weddings in Morocco offer something that is hard to describe and impossible to forget. The earthy colors, the handcrafted textures, the gardens overflowing with life, the warmth that follows you everywhere you go. Marrakech doesn’t just frame a story, it becomes part of it.
What I love most are the quiet moments around the wedding day — sharing tea on a terrace, walking through the city as it wakes up, listening to a couple’s story, meeting their families, feeling the place breathe around them. Those days make the experience deeper. They allow me to photograph not only the celebration, but the journey that leads to it.
