a very sneaky peek at the fabulously happy and seriously gorgeous Mr & Mrs Trickitt

thank you so much both of you for allowing me to be part of your day – it was brilliant from start to finish !!!    xxx

more images very soon !

woohoo !   eline & joppe are home … so here’s part I of their wonderfully happy wedding at  the chateau d’aigle at the end of lake geneva.

eline & joppe are an amazing couple – they are just so full of fun and happiness that i knew it was going to be a brilliant day !   they had arranged to meet at their flat before the ceremony and when joppe arrived with eline’s beautiful bouquet the sheer happiness was just magic !   they were travelling to the chateau d’aigle in eline’s dad’s car which he’d driven down from the netherlands (wow! i want one), and after me leaning out of the window on the motorway to get a few shots we got there early enough to do some gorgeous couple shots with the chateau as a backdrop.    then they greeted their guests and everyone went inside to a beautiful old beamed room in the 13th century castle for the wedding ceremony given in both french and dutch so that their friends and family could follow.

part II and the train ride up to the mountains for the reception very soon  – promise

Mr & Mrs B thank you for allowing me to be part of your fantastic day !

Sonia Grimm propose des spectacles tendres et colorés, dans lesquels elle est accompagnée d’enfants comédiens qui chantent, dansent et se déguisent en divers personnages tendres et amusants. Ses spectacles se jouent toute l’année à guichets fermés et ses spectacles de Noël font salle comble dans les plus grandes salles de Suisse Romande (Montreux, Géneve, Lausanne, ..)

Amoureuse des enfants et de la nature, Sonia ne trouvait pas dans le commerce les chansons tendres et entraînantes qu’elle rêvait de faire écouter à ses enfants.  Elle a comblé cette lacune en composant de superbes mélodies qu’elle accompagne de sa voix douce et chaleureuse et dont les textes sont emprunts d’une poésie pleine de fraîcheur.

Pour la deuxième fois à Massingy, nous avons eu le plaisir d’accueillir Sonia Grimm le samedi 26 juin à la salle des fêtes.  L’APE et son producteur ce sont donné les moyens d’amener, enfants et parents pour la découvrir ou redécouvrir pendant plus d’une heure.  A la fin du spectacle Sonia a pris le temps pour chacun de faire une dédicace, un bisous aux petits comme aux grands.

billetterie : nouveau spectacle de noël  : L’incroyable Destin de M. Boule de Neige

un grand merci à Sonia et tout son équipe pour cet magnifique spectacle ! 

well i can’t resist another quick post of some of the images i took at the venetien carnival in annecy.  i had an amazing time both on the evening and the following day at the carnival and chatted to quite a few of the "costumiers" parading, (walking doesn’t seem a grand enough term), around in their finery.  they told me that they can spend a whole year creating these beautiful, beautiful costumes – the attention to detail is stunning.   whilst creating a gallery for the stars of the show i realised just how many of my favorite shots i had left out….

if you are near annecy 2 weekends after mardi gras (so around 20th March 2011) it really is worth the trip and the ‘costumiers’ parade round the old town of annecy for three days

i can’t wait for next year   x
