gill maheu photography: professional lifestyle portrait photography based in Annecy, Geneva, Rhone Alpes

well i’ve had to keep this pre pre wedding shoot secret for what seems like ages,         a month ago i was contacted by damien who had the most brilliant idea for a proposal of mariage ever !   he was creating a photobook of his life with his gorgeous girlfriend from when they met, the people that are dear to them, all the holidays they’d been on, the places that mean something to them … you know the sort of thing we would all love but we never make the time to create,   his idea was to finish the book with a photo of his asking for her hand in mariage on their anniversary  … how romantic is that !!!

soooooooooooooo in the utmost secrecy we set out one sunny afternoon to the beautiful lakeside in annecy  to take photos of him proposing (and have i mentioned the ring ? beautiful !!!)

and the answer ? …  YES !!!            a big congratulations to you both !

earlier in the year i was lucky enough to be asked to do the wedding photography for katya & sebastien’s gorgeous wedding  – the day itself was perfect even if the weather did try to put a dampener on things – sooooooooooooo after what seems like weeks of waiting for the sun to come out katya and seb put on their wedding finery again and we went down to the lake in annecy to do the shots we should have done !     it was an amazing afternoon and wandering round annecy looking so happy  they made loads of people smile ….

here is just a sneak preview …

lots more to come… x

just a quickie post of a recent shoot  whilst i’m busy editing  …

recemment  j’ai eu l’occasion de travailler sur un projet photo avec la talentueuse vanessa baïetto-renoux, créatrice de bijoux volutes – elle voulait des images de sa nouvelle collection "comme maman" - un collection de bijoux pour le cortège, les enfants, filles et garçons des mariés, pour les demoiselles d’honneur et toute personne qui sera ainsi en accord parfait avec la mariée !    son site est un "must" pour toute future mariée – tous ses bijoux sont fabriqués par ses soins dans son adorable boutique dans le magnifique village médievale de alby-sur-cheran (74). 

… n’hésitez pas à visiter son site web www.bijouxvolutes.com car elle a plusieurs collections avec un très grand choix de parures pour se sentir belle tous les jours – personellement j’adore la collection acidulés - à visiter !!! 

recently i was lucky enough to work with the wonderful and very talented vanessa baïetto-renoux of bijoux volutes for this product shoot for the new wedding season – she creates gorgeous costume jewellry for brides ….   necklaces, bracelets, hair decorations, earrings, rings, …. beautiful beautiful products – do go and have a look at her site, or even better visit her gorgeous shop in Alby sur Cheran here in Haute Savoie.   this range is for the children of the wedding party so that they can wear the same gorgeous creations as the grown ups … it’s called  "comme maman". 

 … just in case you are feeling left out … don’t … she has gorgeous collections of beautiful coloured and textured wonders for ‘everyday’ wear  (i love the acidulée’ range !) … and i know for a fact she speaks great english so do go and have a look and if you are tempted, and lets face it who wouldn’t be, drop her an email to  vanessa@bijouxvolutes.com   -  go on treat yourself    x
