Wedding in Sanary sur mer By PG Photography Wedding photographer France.

After much deliberation, Stéphanie and Paul decided to get married in the last week of August. Luck for them, the horrible weather of the previous weeks had finally cleared up and the sun had come out at last. The priest was slightly late in arriving for the ceremony and so the guests had were all waiting on the sea front where it was bizarre to see so many people with umbrellas, on the beach, on such a glorious day. Paul really should have metioned when we first met that his dad was an old colleague of mine who has now taken his reitrement. Luckily I had completely forgotten this as it surely who have made me a little stressed. The only worry that we had on the day was that the CD player in the church would not play the music that had been prepared for the cermony. Luckily I had brought my laptop with me and so the best man and myself franticly ran across the Port and into the town centre where my car was parked to collect it. Whilst running back to the church, at much the same pace, i was carrying the open laptop in my arms so that we could burn a new CD “En Route”.  At my age this task was quite taxing and I looked rather like Danny Glover in the film “L’arme Fatale”.

The evening got off to a great start in Pierrefeu at a superb venue which was previously unknown to me. I would recommend this venue to other couples as the prices were, for once, quite reasonable.

Stéphanie and Paul from Sanary sur mer

Where, when and how did you meet?

It was the 24th Novemeber 2007 in 113 Café during a drunken evening for Paul and a girls night out for me. He literally fell at my feet that night (hee hee hee) when he was walking over to come to talk to me!!!

One week later we met up again. Both my friends and his friends had advised us individually to play it cool.

Even so, Paul gave me his number perhaps because I didn’t want to give him mine. The next day, he came by to the shop where I was working at the time, under the pretext that he wanted to buy something (his smelly feet were the first thing to be put in the hall of shame!!!) but I reassured myself that he had not actually come to buy anything and that in fact he had come because he wanted to see me again. That evening we danced our first slow dance together and we have been together ever since.

Our first kiss was on the 4th of December in a shisha bar where we seemed to be the only two people in the world.

A few comments about Gretchen and Andrew’s wedding from their friends by PGPhotography wedding Photographer in Monaco

This post is gathering all the little messages that some of G & A’s friends did send me after the wedding from all over the United States I ‘ll call it an e-guestbook I do not know if it allready exists someplace on the web and if someone as ever seen this before, please let me know. But in the meantime let me dream i might have invented something

Gretchen, despite the most chaotic travel I’ve ever had in my life (how much do you think American luggage goes for on the streets of gay Paris?) I had the most fun I’ve ever had at a wedding. Love to you and Andrew!     -JON

Gretchen and Andrew, your wedding was beautiful and I am honored I was a part of it! I hope you have many happy years together! -JEAN

“I first met Andrew four years ago. At the time I felt quite a strong sense of curiosity because I was unsure how to welcome him. To me, my sister was a source of inspiration and love and I felt that not just any ordinary man could be worthy of her let alone handle her fire. However, as the years went on and I was able to see how he was around my family and I, and a strong sense of brotherly love developed. I consider Andrew a brother and I thank God that my sister was able to marry a man who is as loving as he.   -PETER

Andrew & Gretchen,
What a wedding! Thank you again for inviting me to be apart of the special occasion. I am honored and pleased to have been able to share your special day and to celebrate your marriage.
Your minister at the wedding referred to marriage as a lifelong commitment. And the most refreshing thing about you two is that you have made the process that goes with making that commitment seem so easy.
Since the days of the 12 Gardner Street apartment in Allston, the support and consideration that you always give each other reflects more about you than just love. Yes, mes amis, your commitment also reveals great intelligence….. because the smartest thing you have ever done was marry one another.
I wish you a lifetime of joy and happiness,
Love always, -RICKY

Wedding in Mougins and Antibes by PG photography french wedding Photographer Cannes.

I got to know Sonia during the preperations for the wedding of Francoise and David at La Font du Broc in 2008. Myself, the bride, the videographer and a few other girls have such a great morning. So when Sonia introduced me to her fiancé, Christian and asked me to be the photographer at their wedding, I didn’t hesitate for a second. With Sonia’s excellent attention to detail we agreed on an exclusive package for which Sonia now holds the Copyright!! From now on I say to my clients, We’ll do a Sonia, LOL.

What can I say about this wedding? Lots of things in fact and I am not really sure where to begin. So from the beginning; I met up with Sonia, her cousin and her driver in a small beauty salon. The decor was magically and so we took advantage of the perfectly placed mirrors to take a few pictures under natural light in all its beauty. I must mention the beautician who was truly excellent at playing her role in the shoot, she deserves an Oscar.

I spent a big part of the day in the car, thank you GPS because travelling time between Cannes, Juan les Pins and Mougins on a Saturday is terrible. I then spent 45 minutes driving around Juan les pins to find a space beside the salon where I took pictures of the hair preparations.

I would like to mention the Priest from the parish of Saint Philomène in Cannet. His excellent sense of humour during the joyous ceremony merited all of the praise he got when guest left the church. It was see how well he communicated with the guests in this situation.

I hadn’t been to L’Auberge des Adrets in over 15 years and I had remembered it to be quite flattering. As soon as I walked in my impression was completely changed, it has been completely transformed over the years thanks to the many courting couples who have visited through the years. I would now describe this as a magically venue, full of charm and beautifully decorated.

Lastly a quick mention to our friend Jazz Barth, I love his fabulous répertoire, and who has been playing his saxophone for some years now and features in two or three of my favourite photos.

Sonia and Christian from Mougins and Grasse
