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…

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!

  • A JUBILANT JUNE

    The middle of the year is always the best, bare legs with picnics on the heath for a rest. A trip to Tuscany to spend time with these two, as they wed at an altar with a beautiful view. Two more pretty weddings, so much light and good cheer and the sun setting late at this time of year. Twelve months more marriage tucked under our belt, we wrap presents, write cards to pen things that we’ve felt. Sometimes we party with our family and friends or travel to an island where the sea never ends. This year we did both and we found a new home, London bricks & mortar to call our very own. A jubiliant June it really has been, an excellent first half of my twenty fourteen.

  • THE BRITISH JOURNAL OF PHOTOGRAPHY

    ~This time last week, I had just come home from a day spent at Unveiled, an event held by the British Journal of Photography in association with Wedding magazine and Hasselblad. The event was aimed at wedding photographers in the UK; those established and aspiring.

    I was thrilled to be asked by the BJP to speak about my experience in the wedding photography industry and to stand up alongside Kat of the infamous RocknRoll bride, to talk about how I began Caught the Light. I absolutely love my job and feel very passionately about natural wedding photography, believing that there’s a direct correlation between valuing your product as a photographer and loving each wedding from start-to-finish. It was a great experience for me to meet some colleagues and discuss all sorts of wedding photography things. The July issue of the BJP also features a little about me in the Intelligence section. I was interviewed to discuss a bit about how important things like this blog, Facebook & increasingly Twitter, have become to me as a photographer.

    I’m off to Switzerland in the morning, to get ready for a wedding on Saturday. It’s been a little grey here in London over the past few days, so let’s hope Zurich has a little more sunshine to offer. I’ll be able to share last month’s destination wedding next week too-a beautiful wedding in Tuscany.

  • 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.

  • A HUMANIST WEDDING

    A wedding in September, in a field beneath a tree, a couple stands amongst their friends, and vow into the breeze. To love one another and to cherish, to have and to hold forever tight, the band sings stay with me, I’ll stay with you, and we’re warmed by the sunlight.

    A more perfect day I could never have dreamt, so I framed these memories, of that late summer day, of Matt and of Jess, and their glorious, humanist ceremony.
