Indian Wedding in Menton by PG Photography Wedding Photographer

pgphotography — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 21:51:29 +0000

For a wedding Photographer an Indian Wedding in Menton is a true pleasure

What amazing colours and what an ambiance. Indian people really know how to create a great atmosphere wherever they go. It was nearly the last wedding of 2010, the weathers was changing with every possible type of sky you can impinge, all in one day.

Sick as a dog in the middle of the afternoon, I even thought at one point I might have to go to the hospital. I managed to last the day thanks to a big dose of painkillers and anti-inflamatories. And the celebrations continued into the following week, without me as I was laid up in bed.

Kelly and Gabriel from Geneva got married in Monte Carlo

A glimpse of a Fairy Tale in Monaco, Kelly and Gabriel’ s Wedding in Monte Carlo by PGPhotography wedding photographer France and Monaco. http://www.pgphotography.eu/

In May I made a short trip to Geneva to meet with Kelly and Gabriel and discovered a very nice and gentle couple but not very extraverted. That’s why I was very surprised to see them getting mad with the first music of their wedding in the Hôtel de Paris in Monaco . Everything had been made to make this wedding become one of the Top events of the season in Monte Carlo

Everything began on Friday when both families gathered at the Sporting d’Hiver totally flowered and brilliantly lit . Sunday afternoon Kelly and Gabriel got ready each on one side of the Hermitage Hotel. I remenber arriving on the Terrace of Gabriel’s flat on the top level of the Hotel. I had thought that even the prince in his palace on the other side of the harbour surely doesn’t have as nice a view over Monaco.

Des deux côtés l’ambiance pendant ces préparatifs etait déjà festive et c’est dans une joyeuse pagaille que les deux cortèges se sont mis en route pour se retrouver à la Salle Belle Epoque de l’Hotel Hermitage métamorphosée selon les directives averties d’Emma de Pulp-Event ®

qui supervisait de main de maître le déroulement de l’ensemble des opération. Jugez par vous même de la décoration de la salle difficile de faire mieux non? Il faut dire que l’équipe de Pulp Event®

partenaire de la Société des Bains de mer de Monaco sur de très nombreuses manifestations impliquant les ” Happy few ” du monde entier est plus que rompue à ce genre d’évênement Jet set

A la fin de la cérémonie et malgré l’aide musclée des gardes du corps nous avons eu bien du mal à extirper les mariés de la foule amassées autour de la Houpa. Il nous fallait nous échapper le temps d’une beaucoup trop courte séance de photo des mariés dans les jardins du Casino en compagnie du cameraman de la talentueuse équipe de Azur production vidéo et du sympathique chasseur de l’Hermitage qui nous servait de chauffeur. Le pauvre avait bien du mal à préserver la Bentley de la curiosité des nombreux badauds et touristes un peu trop empressés.

Comme la veille pour le mariage de Gretchen et Andrew la météo a changé quelques minutes avant le début de la séance. Alors que le ciel avait été clément et d’un bleu d’azur toute la journée, il est soudain devenu blanc immaculé aux dernières lueurs du jour. Quel dommage ! Une demi heure plus tôt nous aurions pu faire une bien plus belle séance !

www.pgphotography.eu +33(0)6 09 95 92 10

Et nous voici arrivé à la soirée. Quelle fête exceptionnelle ! Pendant notre séance de photos les invités se sont rendus depuis l’ Hermitage jusqu’à la salle Empire de l’hôtel de Paris. L’assistance était prête à exploser dès les premières notes de musique. Et là que dire sinon que l’ambiance n’a pas pris cinq minute à démarrer sous l’impulsion de Francky Perez et l’orchestre Broadway

Kelly, Gabriel I wish you the very best. I’ve been covering some of the most wonderful weddings all over the world for so many years now but yours will certainly remain in my personnal Top Ten.

From Boston to Monaco an electric Blue Wedding for Gretchen and Andrew

pgphotography — Sat, 11 Dec 2010 14:34:06 +0000

The wedding of Gretchen & Andrew from Boston in Monaco by PGPhotography Wedding Photographer France and Monaco. http://www.pgphotography.eu/

Gretchen first contacted me early in 2009. After that we probably exchanged at least 300 e-mails ! We first met when they’d come to The Riviera in May 2009 in order to prepare the wedding , find a Venue meet all the suppliers and also have two weeks holiday. They had chosen a hotel in Les Issambres and we met at The Motel Van der Valk in the little harbour of Saint Aygulf. They had not realised when booking their hotel online that it sometimes may take several hours to drive from Les Issambres to Monaco and they had to leave before having finished with their program.

I then offered to help with some little things like taking a few pictures for them at the anglican church of Saint Paul in Monte Carlo or finding a DJ and some musicians. That’s how I first discovered the restaurant : Les deux Frères in Roquebrune Village upon Roquebrune Cap Martin and it’s fabulous view of Monte Carlo.

Last april I had to fly to New York City and Montreal for the preparation of another wedding and an engagement shooting. I thought it was a good idea to suggest to them the same kind of shooting in Boston and at the same time visit Boston where I had never been before. It was quite hard to organize at that time of year and finally after many many changes in my plans I flew directly to Boston with my colleague and friend Jean Baptiste Paye whom I already talked you about in several posts on that blog. After two days visiting the City of Boston and also Cambridge together we met Gretchen and Andrew on James Street. We then went for a long circular walk along The Charles River and into the old Italian borrough taking amazing pictures all along the way. At the end of the day we all had dinner in Hannover Street just near where they both live.

In June they arrived in France a few days before the wedding and settled in La Turbie close to Monaco. We had dinner together at the old flower Market cours Saleya in Nice on Thursday night to review all the details and the schedule of the wedding day. They left me and went to pick up Andrew’s parents at the airport of Nice Côte d’Azur.

I now realize how much Gretchen ( who did not hire a wedding planner and organised it all by herself ) really did a good job. Planning that kind of event relly is a big deal because all attendees were coming from different States in the US and also from London. No one had a vehicule and they all arrived at different times and by different means. Hiring a bus for everybody was a great idea despites the traffic problems for large vehicules in Monaco.

On the wedding day I arrived with Bruno Espagnol another friend, photographer in Toulouse, who had come to stay with me, at my place. We met the girls at Jacques Dessange the famous hairdresser in Monte Carlo. The bride, her bridesmaids, several friends and the sisters had booked the place for a hairdressing and make up session. An Army preparing an overseas invasion would not have been more efficient and though the place is quite huge it was entirely filled with a joyfull and smily troup of girls all wearing electric blue dresses. Hey girls you’ve all been nice and smily and helpfull ! Thanks to Vanessa from Phoenix and her wonderfull smile and Heather the Californian who moved to NYC and did most of the make up. To Tarra from Philly who is so talkative after a little glass of wine or Patty from Texas who dances like a pro, Jean from Chicago (Gretchen’s maid of Honnor), Shannon from Frisco and Jennifer who both appear to be professionals when it comes to opening bottles of Champagne!

After the compulsary picture of the group in front of the Casino we all headed to the hotel in La Turbie to begin the process if Getting Ready. I was very glad that Bruno had come to help because the hotel was so crowded and all attendees moving from one room to another. It was quite hard to find who we were looking for : The Groom first, then the Bride and finally her dress that had dissapeared. Derek and German were self proclaimed Super Express Ironers and kidnapped the dress to give it new life in a room on the level below. After a moment of panic Gretchen warmly thanked them for having “saved her day”.

What to say about the ceremony ? That it was very touching for everybody but mainly for Gretchen’s mother, the Vicar, an english canadien, had a great sense of humour and both violonists where absolutly amazing.

The weather had been perfect throughout the day except after the ceremony when we went with the Bride and Groom to the casino for some pics. The sky had turned to cotton white, probably an other application of Murphy’s law ? I will have to add some colour to all the skies in thoses pics ! Some days I am glad that photoshop exists.

The reception was fantastic. I must tell you about the restaurant Les deux frères. I absolutely recommend it for small and intimate weddings. Besides it’s fabulous view, the food was wonderful and I am sure that Pascal my friend of Promusique will agree as he tasted everything with delight. The owner of the place who had been a little distant the first time I came to visit revealed to be a perfect host; nice, funny, cheerful with a great sense of humour. Everybody danced all night and again I will highlight how american and english weddings in general are different, more lively and dynamic than the average french wedding.

Also I admire the abillity of anglo saxon people to prepare and recite wonderful, smart and humourous speaches. That was the case again this time and I want to tell about Jon’s speach. He recited a poem from Paul Valery : The Footsteps

———-

The Footsteps

Your footsteps, children of my silence,
With gradual and saintly pace
Towards the bed of my watchfulness,
Muted and frozen, approach.

Pure one, divine shadow,
How gentle are your cautious steps!
Gods! …all the gifts that I can guess
Come to me on those naked feet!

If, with your lips advancing,
You are preparing to appease
The inhabitant of my thoughts
With the sustenance of a kiss,

Do not hasten the tender act,
Bliss of being and not being,
For I have lived on waiting for you,
And my heart was only your footsteps.

——————-

Wedding in Sanary sur mer

pgphotography — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 12:13:17 +0000

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.

Brittish Wedding from Liverpool to Sainte Roseline for Mel and Graeme

pgphotography — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 11:34:40 +0000

A French and Brittish Wedding in Roquebrune. From Liverpool to Sainte Roseline for Mel and Graeme by PGPhotography Wedding Photographer France. http://www.pgphotography.eu/

I left Mel and Graeme on a warm and night of early June by the Albert Docks in Liverpool after a fantastic engagement shooting to meet with them again a month and a half later in the old village of Roquebrune where they had decided to plan their wedding. Though they both feared to be stressed on the big Day it was quite like a normal day. Have you ever heard of a wedding where absolutly nothing went wrong ? I can now witness that it happens sometimes. A day as natural as the water coming out of the famous fountain in the middle of the old village of Roquebrune just facing the house where Mel and her brothers spent their hollydays in their chidhood.

If Mel managed to avoid the stress it might because her bridesmaids Sarah and Amy, and her sister in law Lidia spent half of the day with her chatting and drinking Champagne while they all had their hair done in the village.

I haven’t seen if Graeme was stressed. I had promissed to bring him a dozen of beers at the church to help him face a possibly long wait by the altar. I fear that i forgot. Sorry Graeme once again a group of beautiful girls have distracted me from my duty – LOL

But in fact his must have been short as we where all perfectly on time at the church. After the ceremony came the highlight of the day as Mel and Graeme and her parents were expected by a threesome of old Citroen 2cv one blue one white and one red. I will never forget the sight of those three old cars on the small forgotten roads in the countryside behind La Bouverie and through La Motte. I am sure that Mel and Graeme deeply enjoyed every minutes they spent standing on the back seats of the old white “convertible” the hair floating in the wind ….. STOP – Oups sorry again Graeme -LOL

Little ride in an Aston Martin Vantage between Antibes and La Begude in Opio

pgphotography — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 14:50:22 +0000

Wedding in Antibes at Château La Begude golf of Opio by PG wedding photographer Cannes and Antibes.

In mai i paid a little visit to Caroline and Remi in Aix en Provence. I had for quite a long time, been thinking of a photo shooting early at night in that marvelous city. We thought time had come for that but parking in the city center around Le Cours Mirabeau was impossible. We decided to change our mind and drove toward La Saint Victoire to make a session that generated so many comments and reactions in the following weeks. The place is so beautiful and magic that it was not a surprise for me.

One month later I joined them first at Caroline’s place in Biot near the famous Marineland, for her getting ready and the preparation of her family and friend. Then we drove to the City Hall of Antibes where the traffic is allways so difficult in the summertime and especially on Saturdays when all weddings take place.

Caroline and Remi took their vows under the painting of Peynet’s lovers that covers the wall insidethe city Hall and in front of all their friends and families that had gathered from all over the country. Then after the religious ceremony all attendees were invited to take some refreshments in the gardens of the church. Meanwhile we escaped a few moment for some shots on the shore behind the Picasso Museum. Then the couple went for a ride in the Aston martin Vantage todays version of the famous convertible car that Sean Connery was driving in the first episodes of the James Bond saga. By the way I found that Remi in its Armani’s Costume could have played the part in a very convincing way.
