A Wedding Overlooking Jounieh Bay – Sunset Romance & Lebanese Elegance

Some weddings don’t just unfold – they bloom. Dodie & Marwan’s day in Beirut was one of those rare moments where everything aligned: the sea, the sun, and the kind of love that fills a place with warmth.

Held at the breathtaking Palais du Mzar, their celebration overlooked Jounieh Bay, where lush green mountains melt into the Mediterranean. The ceremony took place just before sunset, with Dodie walking down the aisle to Andrea Bocelli, holding a calla lily bouquet draped in pearls. That golden light, the breeze from the sea, and the emotional energy between them – it was pure poetry to photograph.

Dodie’s dress, a modern yet timeless custom gown by Karoline Lang, felt like an extension of the landscape itself: flowing, sculptural, and deeply romantic. She paired it with shimmering silver Christian Louboutin Rosalie heels and delicate diamond jewellery gifted by her parents – a true nod to understated Lebanese luxury.

As the evening unfolded, each space revealed a different chapter: an edgy Cala lily room, a romantic candlelit garden, a hidden photo booth playing their Las Vegas civil ceremony, and a maximalist bar buzzing with energy. The dinner was a curated blend of cultures – from traditional kebbe naye to steak and fresh seafood, served under the stars.

It was emotional. It was glamorous. And it was real.

Dodie and Marwan, thank you for letting me witness and capture such a multifaceted, emotional, and artfully designed celebration. You brought Beirut’s beauty to life in a way I’ll never forget.
