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.

    One day in October, in the centre of town, Amy & Duncan got ready, arrived and said vows. Before friends and their family, their loved ones and mates, they made a promise of union and an unending date. They kissed and we clapped, a tear may have been shed, they drank and they laughed, as do newlyweds. An evening of celebration and of wishing them well, my hundred or so favourites, their short story they tell.

  • A FLORAL CROWNED QUEEN

    I often fall a little bit in love with my brides and find it quite hard to detach myself from what is for most, a day full of emotion. This wedding at the family farm, was no exception. Tori & Oli are the personification of what it means to love and be loved and never have I seen people so utterly adored by their friends and family. I hope these photos go some way in showing a snippet of just what a beautiful day of colour and happiness it was.

  • A HAYMARKET HOTEL WEDDING

    I photographed Lia & Gerald’s wedding exactly one month ago today, at London’s chic and vba was so elegant in her sophisticated dress and vintage jewelry and was such a pleasure to photograph with those beautiful smiling eyes. Gerald’s dapper suit perfectly matched his debonair swagger – he looked to me as if he had just wandered out of the Rat Pack…

    I loved each and every one of the twelve hours I spent at this wedding, so thank you both for choosing me to share it with you.
    Tomorrow I am going on an adventure to a small island called Samsø in Denmark, to photograph what is going to be a very intimate Danish / English wedding. I absolutely cannot wait.
