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.

    I was doubly thrilled recently to have had one of my images printed in the May issue of the British Journal of Photography, to advertise an event I’ll be speaking at in London, on July 1st.

    You may be able to grab a copy of the British Journal of Photography’s May edition quickly before the June issue goes on sale. It’s a very beautiful magazine which takes a good look behind the scenes of photography and discusses the latest British photography campaigns, with insight and a discerning eye.

    At Unveiled, I’ll be being interviewed by the infamous Kat of Rocknrollbride fame, talking a little bit about my photography style and how I found a spot in the British wedding photography market. The event is supported by Hasselblad and so I’ve also been asked to trial the newest addition to the Hasselblad H range, the H4D40, before the event which I am very excited about. It’s an amazing medium format camera and I’ll even get to use it on an actual wedding too!

    The editor of Wedding magazine, Catherine Westwood will be there too, so it will be interesting to hear about the wedding industry from both her print and Kat’s online perspective.

    Any of you who have met me know how much I love to talk, but it’s still a little bit intimidating getting up in front of big groups of people; especially those industry professionals who read the BJP and look to Hasselblad as the respected brand that it is. If you’re interested in coming along to heckle me, you can buy tickets for Unveiled here and also enter the photography competition too if you are a professional or aspiring wedding photographer.

  • A FRENCH GARDEN WEDDING

    On a Wednesday in late summer, when the sky was grey then blue, Tim & Phammy planned a party, and from Aus to France they flew. Chairs were set in the garden, friends and crates of local wine, with his best suit and her new dress all pressed and looking fine. The sun came out as they said their vows, the birds in the trees began to sing, they held hands and smiling at each other, sealed their promises with two rings.
