A FRENCH RIVIERA WEDDING

A beautiful weekend on the French Riviera, in the mountainside village of Eze, a couple in love stand beaming and blushing, amidst their families and all of their friends. We dined and we cheered, Nouvelle Vague filled the air and a bride shone her smile cheek to cheek. The sky stretched proud over St Jean Cap Ferrat, three shades of blue I could see, champagne was drunk and kisses exchanged as the sun set slowly in the sea…

The Venue: Chevre D’or hotel, Eze // The Dress: Reem Acra // Wedding Planner: Lavender & Rose Weddings // Florals: Wayne Riley Flowers // Music provided by Nouvelle Vague

Thank you so much to this most beautiful pair for allowing me to photograph their incredible wedding weekend. From Friday night’s festivities to Sunday on Paloma beach, it was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Thank you too to Kerry, Jennifer & Sarah for their help planning and coordinating this wedding. You won’t find better wedding planners on the French Riviera than Lavender & Rose.

This weekend we’re back to the south of France not far from Cannes for a wedding at Chateau Castellaras in Mougins with those Lavender & Rose ladies. It’s my first time there but my second trip to back to France for weddings in two weeks, which means another chance to entice my freckles out of their winter hibernation. Emma Jane is heading to a wedding at Chateau Rigaud in Bordeaux for her second time also and she’s sounding pretty excited. We’re very lucky, very busy girls indeed.

In between shooting, editing, emailing, meeting and blogging, I also do a little bit of instagramming too. You can check out some sneaky previews of my most recent wedding days and a little bit of our daily pretty also, if you’re that way inclined…

    Jing & Bai are a truly unique couple. From the moment we met, I loved their style and individuality, Jing’s cheeky eyes and Bai’s sense of calm. I was honoured to photograph their intimate London wedding, which they shared together with twenty friends. At our first meeting, Bai told me that he liked tilt-shift photography, so I bought a tilt-shift lens to use at their wedding. It’s a tiny little bit magic.

  • HELLO ELIJAH

    It’s taken me quite some time to pull this post together. I’ve had mixed emotions about sharing something so personal belonging to my clients, but they asked me to when they saw them and I feel like sharing something different today.

    I had never really thought so much about photographing a birth until I was asked by my two beautiful friends. I was worried I would be in the way, that their memories would be of me and my camera and not of the birth of their first child and also selfishly, that it might put me off having my own children… I wasn’t, they aren’t and it didn’t.

    I was the first person to ever take a photograph of this human being. Hello, Elijah.

    I know he can’t really see but at four minutes old, he looked straight at me.

    Kristina, you have never been more beautiful than you were on 21st January at 7.09am. You know that I am in total awe of you both and that I’m so grateful to have been asked to be there with you, camera in hand. You are simply incredible, made of the most inspiring things and I love you very much.

    I’m away this week for a couple of days, spending time with my ma and sister. It’s times like these that reaffirm just how special a family is.

  • A UNION CLUB SOHO WEDDING

    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.
