This family are totally brilliant and it was a joy to photograph them all again.  I first met them in late spring last year at their family lifestyle shoot in the grounds of the Chateau de Penthes near Geneva.  A year has passed and i can’t believe just how much their gorgeous girls have changed – still beautiful and full of fun and mischevious, they are not phased at all by the camera, in fact I think they quite like it.  Here are some images from their shoot …

Here is the link to last year’s shoot at the Chateau de Penthes.

The wonderful Isa and Antoine were holding their wedding reception at the Hotel Du Leman which has an amazing view down Lac Leman.  Their guests headed straight for the reception whilst we took some time to do their couple shots away from the excitement of the party – a very special moment.  There were some brilliant surprises awaiting them arranged by their families, and then all too soon the cocktail was over, the bride’s bouquet had been caught and it was time for the evening’s celebrations.

I first met the brilliant Céline and Olivier on their wedding day back in October last year – they were having a small intimate ceremony and had decided quite late on that they wanted photos of the happy day and i was very happy to help out.  Well nearly a year later and they are busy organising a summer party to celebrate their wedding with friends and family down by Lac Leman (or Lake Geneva) for the middle of next month.  The engagement shoot was the perfect excuse to catch up with them see how much their adorable son has changed and take some photos of their lovely family … and of course a few couple shots too.  We met up in the morning at the lakeside in Lutry near Lausanne and i had a brilliant time, i think they are the smiliest family ever !

Isabelle and Antoine first got in touch with me over a year ago so it was real joy to finally photograph their wedding as they feel like friends now.  Isabelle had planned everything so that it all ran smoothly, not only that but they had treated themselves to a suite at the Hotel des Trois Couronnes in Vevey to get ready in … the perfect setting to start the day.   Isa looked truly beautiful in her gorgeous La Sposa dress and her wedding bouquet designed and created by a good friend was the perfect accent of colour.  Antoine was also at the hotel, although nowhere near Isa’s suite, so we spent some time getting some shots of him in the luxury surroundings too before heading off to the church full of their friends and family in Chexbres.

Part two of their wedding is coming soon and you can see their engagement shoot here.
