A FRENCH CASTLE WEDDING

Kate & Rob are the kind of people you would describe as salt of the earth. Embracing and endearing, Emma-Jane and I felt like we’d been friends of theirs forever and with Rob’s sharp suit and Kate’s red hair, they were a treat to photograph. Two-hundred guests travelled from England & Dubai to the French town of Pierrefonds to celebrate their wedding in a huge medieval castle. It was certainly a weekend to remember.

 

Venue: Chateau de Pierrefonds

Thank you as always to my talented Emma-Jane for sharing this wedding with me. You, me, France and a wedding is always a very good time.

For those of you who haven’t been reading our blog for long, Emma-Jane photographed our wedding in France three years ago and I fell a little bit in love with her. Luckily for me, she agreed to join me photographing weddings all over the place a little while after I started up. We work together on larger weddings like this one but more often than not, photograph the more intimate weddings independently. We also have some other things we do together, but we’ll share a little more about that later.

This week we are mostly reading up and learning to shoot film again… We have a very exciting addition to our camera family that goes by the name of Contax.

  • DINNER TONIGHT..?

    It’s lunchtime in London and it’s raining and grey, so I am dreaming of an evening in Crete, where we had dinner with the sunset and the shore.

    It’s times like these that I am so thankful that I get to take photos for a living, meet beautifully unique people every week and have the opportunity to share one of the most memorable days of their lives with them. I’ll take all the grey and rainy days in the world for that.

    Tomorrow, I get to photograph a three-day wedding in beautifully quaint Hurley and I’ve been looking forward to it all week!

  • THE PERFECT ELOPEMENT

    I often get asked what my best ever wedding was to photograph. I think people expect me to say ‘the one at Westminster Abbey’ or ‘the little one in Italy’, when really my most favourite weddings, however cliché, are the ones that are all about love. Venues are chic and expensive dresses are beautiful, but give me a couple happy and in love and I couldn’t ask for anything more. These two individuals decided to elope. They chose a place where they could exchange their vows and spend the weekend, calm and content. They chose their outfits, the day for their promises and then they chose me. I really couldn’t be more grateful sharing days like these.
