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!

  • AN ODE TO 2012

    Sometimes when life gets busy, it’s easy to forget, the people and the places, the dusks and the sunsets. Those days through the year when you felt your heart beat, huge smiles from new people you were quite lucky to meet. Be still for a moment, just sit and recall, reflect on the absolute beauty of it all. Life is quite frantic and at times it’s quite sad, but these are the memories that make our souls glad.

    This year I’ve been invited on a number of days, with camera in hand and finger ablaze, to witness small fragments of love and sheer bliss, a sum of thirty-eight weddings and they looked a lot like this…

  • TRULY GRATEFUL

    I am always enamoured with nights like this one.

    An evening at home with my husband, in our little London flat, sat outside under the heater on the terrace, listening to our neighbour’s winter concert, with a bottle of Oyster Bay. Feeling alive and truly grateful for life and love, forever surprised at how sweet London can be.

    It’s been a phenomenal start to the year. I am already overwhelmed by what’s in store, but overwhelmed in the best way possible.

  • ALBUMS & HEIRLOOMS

    I try to be a wedding photographer that I myself would like to have had, so when I put together packages I take into consideration what creative brides may like and what they might like to organise themselves. I provide high-resolution images on memory sticks to all of my couples, so they’re able to print and share their photos as they wish, with the option to order custom-designed albums if they would like them too.photographer wedding albums 

    After much hunting and sampling, I finally came across a book company whose product I loved and whose service was unrivalled. They allow me complete flexibility in album design and provide a simply beautiful, matte and digitally-printed album on fine art paper, with a really beautiful texture. Apart from your husband or wife, there really isn’t a better keepsake from your wedding day – a bound heirloom for you to cherish in the many years to come.

  • LATELY…

    …I have been seeing a lot of the sea.

    An intimate wedding in Mallorca and an engagement session in Brighton has made it an exceptionally good week. Both had sunshine and couples really very much in love.

    Today I’m going to be far away from the sea in the Great British city of London, photographing a wedding where Shakespeare used to wet his whistle. It’s raining and grey but I always feel like weddings are so much bigger than the weather. Two beautiful people are today committing themselves to each other, for life. Their friends and family will witness it all, smiling, laughing, drinking champagne, we’ll all eat cake, dance and celebrate. Really then, who cares if it rains?

  • A ONE MARYLEBONE LONDON WEDDING

    A handsome Brit and his American beauty on a Saturday in June last year, arrived at One Marylebone with friends and with families, said vows, gave speeches and cheered. The rain came to a holt, light streamed through the room, it really was a most beautiful sight. I saw and took photos, two cameras full of moments and they danced as I bid them goodnight.
