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 WALK AROUND PARIS

    I was so excited to have been recommended by the most incredible photographer Michele M Waite, to photograph Jamie & Steven whilst honeymooning in Paris. Steven is a wedding-planning, dress-designing, cake-making, husband extraordinaire and Jamie is quite possibly the prettiest, sweetiest and most charming lady you could ever hope to meet. We walked around town drinking coffee, buying sweets and taking photos. This really is my job, but it certainly doesn’t feel like work when you’re photographing these two in your very favourite city.

  • A YEAR IN REVIEW

    A year of celebration, commitments made true, huge declarations of love & forty I Dos. The taking of photos, memories made & then framed, this is the joy occupying most of my days. Four seasons fly past us, a whole three-six-five days, our hearts leap & they sink in a myriad of ways. Take nothing for granted, hold everyone close, is the lesson that this year has taught me the most. So we love and we rally and we choose to live well and look back at the stories that the year had to tell…

  • A HAYMARKET HOTEL WEDDING

    I photographed Lia & Gerald’s wedding exactly one month ago today, at London’s chic and vba was so elegant in her sophisticated dress and vintage jewelry and was such a pleasure to photograph with those beautiful smiling eyes. Gerald’s dapper suit perfectly matched his debonair swagger – he looked to me as if he had just wandered out of the Rat Pack…

    I loved each and every one of the twelve hours I spent at this wedding, so thank you both for choosing me to share it with you.
    Tomorrow I am going on an adventure to a small island called Samsø in Denmark, to photograph what is going to be a very intimate Danish / English wedding. I absolutely cannot wait.

  5. Oh my. A castle……really? AMAZING! That bride is on fire and as always you have documented the absolute heart of it all. Beautiful!

  6. How gorgeous. I love, in no particular order, the donkeys, the babies, the knock out bride & the moments with Kate and her dad (especially the hand holding shot which is wonderful). Well done ladies!
