Why with us

Local knowledge

Our co-founders Richard and Risan grew up on Gemanafushi, in Gaafu Alifu Atoll in the southern Maldives.

Meet our photographer

Richard is a photographer, videographer and PADI Divemaster. Session details are agreed with him directly.

Honest from day one

You pay each provider directly, at their own prices, and we tell you upfront what a Maldives ceremony can and can't be.

Good to know: Maldives ceremonies are symbolic

For non-Muslim foreigners, a wedding ceremony in the Maldives is symbolic and not legally binding. Most couples marry officially at home and celebrate here — we'll help you plan both parts in the right order.

Our advice is free. Accommodation, transfers and trips you book and pay directly with the providers; some of them pay us a commission. If you ask for a session with Richard, we confirm the date and price with you before anything is paid.

Your enquiry is free and non-binding. Sending it does not create a booking. We will agree with you first before passing it to any outside provider. Terms of use · Privacy policy

Questions couples ask

Is a ceremony with you legally valid?

Our advice concerns symbolic celebrations, which do not replace a legally valid marriage. We do not provide official civil marriage services.

Can we have the ceremony on a local island?

Whether and where a symbolic ceremony is possible depends on the place and date, so we check it individually. Local islands follow local customs, and we'll explain what that means for your plans.

Practical information for the Maldives →
When is the best season for a wedding or honeymoon in the south?

Conditions vary through the year. The monsoon calendar shows what to expect month by month; outdoor plans and boat trips always depend on the weather on the day.

How do we get to Gemanafushi?

By domestic flight from Malé to Kooddoo, followed by a boat transfer. Check timings and transfer costs for your dates with your guesthouse or boat operator.

About Gemanafushi →
Can family and friends join?

Yes, tell us how many people are coming. We'll check accommodation and transport options for the whole group.

Who do we pay, and what if our plans change?

You pay each provider directly, and their own payment and cancellation terms apply. Check them with the provider before you book.

Can we do an underwater shoot if we're not divers?

It depends on your swimming confidence and the conditions. We'll discuss whether it's suitable before adding it, and confirm availability separately.
