AN AIX-EN-PROVENCE WEDDING

It is always special photographing a wedding day, but sometimes a little bit even more special when the bride is a wedding blogger who also happens to be exceptionally lovely and is marrying her husband under a bright blue sky. Nick & Georgia flew me to France to photograph their wedding weekend in Provence at Chateau Grimaldi and for this, I am eternally grateful.

 

Thank you so much to you both for having me as your wedding photographer and for treating me as a guest at both of your weddings. It was such a privilege to spend those days with you and I’m utterly overwhelmed by all of your incredible gratitude. You really are the sweetest.

Gorgeous Georgia worked particularly hard on her wedding day and even started this brilliant British wedding blog, Before the Big Day. You can read all about her planning here and get in touch with her very amazing wedding planner, Ms (soon to be Mrs) Kerry Bracken, here.

Venue: Chateau Genoise, Provence // Dress & Veil: Delphine Manivet // Wedding Planner: Kerry Bracken Weddings Florist: Stephane Tevenin

I’m winding down my wedding work until spring, to focus on some more personal projects. It’s a beautiful time of  year for portraiture, reading and reflection on what a tremendous year it’s been and of course, for catching up on the blog…

  • 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 WEDDING IN PROVENCE

    One day in Covent Garden, I met a couple quite head over heels. We spoke about their wedding, shook hands and agreed a deal. I would travel out to France for them and photograph their wedding, and they would smile and laugh all day, show me their happy ending. To Provence I went, excited, with those lovely Lavender & Rose girls, so I hope you can see what a perfect day it was, as their beautiful story unfurls.

  • IN THE PAST MONTH

    …we have flown 9475km, driven 3750km, spent 17 nights in 10 different hotels, squeezed 14 newly weds, cried at 7 weddings, sat on 6 planes, spoken four different languages (at questionable degrees of fluency), travelled with three different loved ones as dutiful assistants and are now two very happy and grateful photographers. It’s been one really busy past month, but it’s also been so worth it.

    Here’s a little look at what we’ve been up to.

    My first wedding in Amalfi, for two very beautiful people…

    An engagement session in Paris for the gorgeous Janice & Michael…

    Followed by their intimate wedding in Provence…

     This glamorous wedding near Dijon for the very dapper Nicolas & the exceptional Alexandra…

    And I finished up in España with elegant Alia & dashing Pierre’s fantastic wedding in Spain…

    It has been a beyond beautiful month for us both and it looks like it’s set to last. We’re off to two lovely weddings in Ascot & Wiltshire today, a little bit closer to home.

    Have a lovely weekend one and all and an especially happy anniversary to you, Husband.

    Three years of marriage and you’re still here! I love you immensely. x

  • 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.

  • A RUFFLED BLOG FEATURE

    I knew I would love Alex & Chris when we first spoke on the phone early last year. They’re designers and run their own studio, We Three Club, so I was very excited to see how much of their personalities they would bring to their wedding and when Alex told me she’d be wearing a vintage dress, I was in. They booked me right there and then on the phone without even needing to meet me, which for me is always a huge compliment. She also totally out-quiffed me with her gorgeous hair, scoring an easy 10/10 in the style stakes.
