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 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…

  • 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.

  • A CRETE ISLAND WEDDING

    Earlier on this year whilst on holiday in California, I travelled home via San Francisco for a meeting with these two. Nancy works with textiles and has an incredible eye for design and all things beautiful and when you talk to her, she gives you the impression of always being on the verge of bursting into laughter. Chic, cheeky & in my eyes, utterly amazing.

    I was so happy to have met them both before their wedding in Crete in June this year but even happier that the next place we met, was the night before their wedding, with all of their guests, for dinner by the sea…
