BRUNCH AT THE BASTIDE

It’s memories like these of last summer’s weddings, that bring a smile to my face. Remembering the sunshine and smiles and feeling very grateful that my job is to photograph people enjoying themselves, laughing and joking and sharing a celebration. Miki & Tom had brunch with their friends and family at The Bastide near Cannes, France and it was rather splendid.

There were a lot of people being hurled into the pool on this roasting hot day and rumour quickly spread that I too was going in, so I quietly crept back to the tipi…

Miki & Tom were an absolute treat to photograph-just wait until you see their beautiful wedding in Cannes, up next. Both of these days were planned by my favourite French wedding planner of all time, the amazing Kerry Bracken.

2012 started off with a bang in Sydney, spent with my first bride and groom of the year. Their intimate weddings in Byron Bay and Bangalow were perfection and a beautiful reflection of their unique personalities… There’s more to come on those soon.

This year is shaping up to be quite fantastic with some lovely local weddings in London, a wedding on the Amalfi coast, some more pre-wedding photos in Paris and a couple of weddings in Provence, a weekend at an astounding wedding in Spain, the longheld dreams of a possible wedding in Paris and a wedding in Ibiza, a trip back to Stockholm for a very special Swedish wedding, a wedding in Croatia and another few weddings in France and Tuscany, all before the beginning of autumn. Passports at the ready, we’re feeling very lucky indeed.

  • A WEDDING IN ST TROPEZ

    When I first met Esme & Leo, we sat talking about their wedding at a local café in Hampstead and Chris Martin walked in. Cool as anything, they barely noticed as I grinning, went bright red. Esme then mentioned that he was very lovely and that she’d worked with his wife before… his wife being Gwyneth Paltrow. I don’t think I’ve ever met two cooler individuals than these two and their wedding in St Tropez, was of course, the coolest of occasions.

  • A FRENCH CASTLE WEDDING

    Kate & Rob are the kind of people you would describe as salt of the earth. Embracing and endearing, Emma-Jane and I felt like we’d been friends of theirs forever and with Rob’s sharp suit and Kate’s red hair, they were a treat to photograph. Two-hundred guests travelled from England & Dubai to the French town of Pierrefonds to celebrate their wedding in a huge medieval castle. It was certainly a weekend to remember.
