AN ELEGANT OUTDOOR WEDDING IN PROVENCE

On a calm summer’s day in August, when the sun shone warm on my skin, I travelled with cameras to Chateau Martinet and here is where this story begins. An elegant couple in love with each other, their guests cool and dressed to the nines, take seats in the shade and applaud with delight as these two wed under French pines. Champagne was served and kisses exchanged, well wishes and hugs were poured out and I had a beautiful, brilliant day, of that there was never a doubt…

Weddings in Aix en Provence

Especially huge thanks to the very gorgeous Buse & Ömer for having me with them for their wedding celebrations. Their team consisted of the ever-amazing wedding planners at Lavender & Rose // Florals by the lovely Laetitia C // Dress: customised Monique Lhuillier // Veil: Mark Ingram Atelier, New York // Wedding cake & catering: the marvellous Marrou // Venue: the incredible Chateau du Martinet

This wedding has also been featured over on Style Me Pretty, right here.

I was very lucky to have stayed here for a few nights in 2012 between French weddings, so I was so thrilled to return for Buse & Ömer’s beautiful wedding day with the Lavender & Rose girls, who make sure everything runs smoothly and everybody is smiling. If you’re having a wedding on the French Riviera or in Provence, they are invaluable.

We’re almost at the end of July and it seems to have just flown by. I’ve photographed two portrait sessions, three weddings here and one in France. I’ve worked at the achingly cool MC Motors, at the very pretty Preston Court in the garden of England, the bright and beautiful ICA and this weekend, I’m headed to Dulwich College. It’s been another full-on month of shooting, editing and client meetings, but now that my inbox has been tamed once again, I can honestly say that I’ve loved it all!

    Kate & Tom were the first clients I met after a long flight home from Australia in January. We had a drink at The Alice House and talked for hours and I knew before I’d left, that we had become friends. Their wedding was just beautiful. Kate shone, Tom grinned, they both said I do and I cried just a little bit, from the sheer love of it all.

  • A BRIGHTON ENGAGEMENT

    It is impossible not to be happy in the presence of Adam and Sophie. They are so very much in love with each other, you in turn find yourself falling a little bit in love with them. They laugh a lot and make you smile, they’re kind and affectionate, relaxed and real and as I discovered one day in Brighton, the kind of people you feel like you’ve always known. They also have a habit of making the sun shine, which was perfect for our morning wandering around for their pre-wedding photos.

  • BALI BOUND

    A busy summer it has been, with weddings and shoots aplenty. Happy memories I have captured, to the sum of eight and twenty. Autumn is here and the sun is now shy, the leaves slowly litter the ground, so I’m packing my case and off we will fly, for we are Bali bound…

This year has been even busier than I expected but I’m really not complaining when it’s all looked like this!

  • THE PERFECT ELOPEMENT

    I often get asked what my best ever wedding was to photograph. I think people expect me to say ‘the one at Westminster Abbey’ or ‘the little one in Italy’, when really my most favourite weddings, however cliché, are the ones that are all about love. Venues are chic and expensive dresses are beautiful, but give me a couple happy and in love and I couldn’t ask for anything more. These two individuals decided to elope. They chose a place where they could exchange their vows and spend the weekend, calm and content. They chose their outfits, the day for their promises and then they chose me. I really couldn’t be more grateful sharing days like these.
