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.

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.

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.

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 .
