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.

  • A WEDDING AT ST PAULS

    Rae is the kind of person who makes you laugh with one sly look and she found her perfect match in Bill. They live in New York, but chose to get married in London at The Crypt in St Paul’s Cathedral as Bill’s lovely mum has an MBE, which is like a VIP pass for St Paul’s. I am so glad to have met them both and to have shared in their wedding day. It was grey and windy, but to me they proved that it doesn’t matter one tiny bit. They were getting married and that’s all that really counts, right?

  • A RICHMOND ENGAGEMENT

    In the summertime, when we still had lots of sunshine, Tiffany & Albert flew to London for a holiday and got in touch for a portrait session. I suggested we take their photos in Richmond and so we had a chilled out afternoon walking along the river all the way down to Petersham and back. Two perfect strangers even invited us into their beautiful house overlooking the river, to make use of their balcony. It was a calm, sweet afternoon.

  • AN INTIMATE CAPE TOWN WEDDING

    I met Sanchia three years ago, working as a hairdresser in Camden. She was the first hairdresser to tell me that my thick and unruly hair was actually beautiful and instantly, we were friends. Together, Sanchia & Richard are a truly fantastic couple; large-hearted, vivacious and very, very stylish, so I was privileged to photograph their intimate garden ceremony in Cape Town, South Africa whilst there on holiday last month.
