the gorgeous divya & yann chose to have their wedding reception at the chateau de coppet, not far from geneva – what a venue !!!   a champagne reception in the evening sun, then a delicious meal prepared by yann’s friends & colleagues from the ‘president wilson hotel‘ in geneva and some very funny games dreamt up by the bridesmaids and best men!    the first part of the evening was topped off with a brilliant argentinian version of throwing the bouquet – involving pulling rings out of a cake, prettiest ring for the next bride, then an amazing sparkler covered wedding cake ….  a brilliant brilliant day !

what an absolutely perfect way to celebrate a very special wedding anniversary !   some of this lovely family live in scotland and the others in northern brittany so they all came together for a week on a big family summer holiday near the beautiful town of annecy, near the french alps.    to mark the occasion i was invited along on the last morning of their stay to take pictures of them all in the sunshine. 

it was a really fun morning – and a big thanks to the kids for making everyone giggle !   x

just can’t resist posting this one – diyva looks so beautiful and so happy !

part 2 coming very soon   x

wow !  what a really really specially fabulous wedding !   special for lots of reasons -  first of all the gorgeous bride & groom , carol & narinder, and their fantastic kids and family and friends.  secondly because once again i got the chance to shoot alongside Jo & Si from Shoot who were doing photography and filming, as always they were an absolute joy to work with.    

when we arrived this is the view that greeted us  – the stunning and sumptously decorated Carlton Towers in North Yorshire – smiley excited faces were the next thing to greet us – a hugely happy buzzy atmosphere of anticipation. … the start of a brilliant day !  

carol & narinder i wish you both a very long happy and healthy life together full of laughter  x

in the meantime do go and have a look at Jo & Si’s choice of images from this first part of the day on their SHOOT blog

a huge congratulations to Divya & Yann 

i can’t wait to share part 2 with you very soon …

a few days ago i was lucky enough to be invited to take some shots of an absolutely gorgeous 5 month old baby in geneva – when i arrived he was fast asleep, i couldn’t help but get the camera out – he looked sooooooooooo sweet, and so peaceful.   after giving his lovely mum and me enough time to enjoy a coffee he woke and smiled and from then on was a total star !    we did some portraits in the sunny flat and then we all wandered over to the beautiful park and took some more photos of him cuddling his mum.  

i had a wonderful morning with them both and i can’t wait to show his mum the portraits of her little one very soon

his mum and dad have asked to keep his "gorgeousness" all to themselves and who can blame them

i hope they will enjoy the images of his early childhood for a long time to come  x

just a very quick sneak peek of divya & yann’s wedding in St Sulpice in switzerland – a fantastic day !   i’m still downloading the images but i couldn’t resist sharing this one with you

huge congratulations to a gorgeous couple with an amazing future ahead of them  x

more to come soon …
