traveled to Morocco to capture that very essence, hosting an immersive retreat in partnership with AMV Weddings. The result? Three editorial shoots that highlight the beauty, energy, and depth of Moroccan destination weddings through a modern luxury lens.
Each of the three styled shoots, photographed by Amy Mulder, explores a different visual language—uniting editorial fashion with cultural context in a way that speaks to today’s luxury-minded bride and groom. From lush palace settings to sunlit courtyards and the golden glow of the Agafay Desert, every scene tells its own captivating story.
Amanjena: Old World Meets Modern Luxury
The terracotta tones and palm-filled courtyards of Amanjena provided a rich canvas for a destination wedding shoot that felt both grounded and ethereal. Here, modern luxury met earthy elegance. Reception tables were dressed with natural elements—think stone fruit, almonds, figs, and woven textures—while towering floral installations brought movement and life to the design. The bride wore a long-sleeved gown adorned in delicate embroidery, her cathedral-length veil billowing in the Moroccan breeze. The ceremony space embraced texture and asymmetry, with layered blooms creating a soft, organic altar. As golden hour approached, sunlight danced across the architecture, transforming the space into a dreamlike scene captured perfectly by Amy Mulder’s lens.
Palais Namaskar: Intimate Grandeur
Nestled just outside Marrakech, Palais Namaskar was the picture of serene luxury. Its grand archways and mirrored pools offered the perfect backdrop for an intimate-yet-opulent wedding setting. Here, Amy Mulder captured a ceremony scene that celebrated destination wedding elegance with exquisite attention to detail. A couture wedding gown with intricate patterning echoed the architectural motifs, while a sculptural floral arch brought softness and romance to the moment. Even the cake display was a work of art—mirroring the ceremony florals to create a seamless design narrative. This editorial effortlessly blended Moroccan heritage with elevated bridal style, making it ideal inspiration for a destination wedding steeped in grandeur.
Be Agafay Desert: A Celebration of Culture
The final shoot took place in the breathtaking Agafay Desert, where the celebration of Moroccan tradition came to life in full technicolor. Against a minimalist desert backdrop of sand and sky, this destination wedding editorial highlighted the beauty of cultural ceremony. The bride dazzled in gold, the couple was lifted in jubilation, and musicians wove through the crowd with drums and melody. Every frame radiated joy, especially as the sun set and cast a golden haze across the mountaintop reception. With laughter in the air and music in every moment, this shoot showcased the power of immersive celebration—one where cultural roots meet editorial brilliance. It was a reminder that the best destination weddings don’t just take place in beautiful locations—they live within the energy of the people, the place, and the moment.
Together, these three editorials serve as a compelling case for Morocco as the ultimate luxury destination weddinglocation. Thanks to Amy Mulder’s artistic direction and lens, we’re reminded that destination weddings are more than travel—they’re transformational, beautiful, and deeply personal.
