Photographe mariage de prestige

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.

Wedding in Nice at the Elysée Palace by PG Photography Wedding Photographer Nice Monaco

Early this year you have certainly discovered Laetitia and Louis and the pictures of their Engagement Session in the old Nice. I first met them last year during the wedding of Charlène and Cédric whom I was very happy to see again this week end at the Elysée Palace. I did not know this Hotel though it is almost located on the Promenade des anglais and I was really amazed by the view fromthe Terrace on the top. The pictures we took there at night around the pool with the planes and the lights of the airport in the background were magical. Letty wanted to dive in the pool we’ll take a picture of that kind an other day. why not planning a trash the dress shooting in the coming weeks ?

A lot of emotion during this ceremony for Laetita and Louis who were married by a personnal friend of Letty. For me it was a great pleasure to be joigned by Franck a young friend videographer in Paris who sometimes accepts to leave the Tv studios  for a quick week end on the riviera when I ask him to. And the guests i must admit I had to keep all my professionnal self control not to join the dancers and not to be thrown in the air like all others were one after the other.

Délia and Fabien took their vows at the end of mai!

What a wedding ! I knew from the very first meeting with the Bride and Groom in Paris Quartier Latin last year that it really was to be something. The engagement session in Aix en Provence was a real success and all along the preparation and everytime we met in Aix or at La Commanderie de Peyrassol  I got the impression that it was going to be a very special wedding.

The least I can say now is that I haven’t been dissapointed. The City Hall in Aix en Provence first that looks like an old abbey with it’s unique old wrought ironed gate. Then the venue la Commanderie de Peyrassol     an extraodinary place. A pleasure for the eyes where everything is made to have you spend some wonderfull moments.

The lighting in blue and pink as well as the tables make beautiful pictures and underline the mouvement of the dancers and other artists .

Finally the attendees that were so smily and helpfull and decided to make that night become so special  and so sucessfull. Then  Délia and Fabien thanks very much to you and your families but also to all your friends
