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

While getting ready Mel, Sarah and Amy suddenly got mad dancing and shouting in front of the mirrors when a song which i cannot remenber burst out of the radio

Wedding in Sanary sur mer, engagement shooting with PGPhotography Wedding photographer France,  Saint Tropez and Saint Raphael. http://www.pgphotography.eu/

After a first contact a few month ago I’ve had no news from Stéphanie and Paul. In fact for some health problems they weren’t sure to be able to get married this year . I had then decided to take a week hollydays in Britanny for the very first time in years.  Two days before they call me back I had been proposed a huge wedding on the same week by one of my favourite english wedding Planner and had cancelled my trip to Britanny. A chance for them and for me as this morning i signed a third wedding on the same week.

We met one evening on my way back from Aix en provence in front of the Golden Island of Saint Raphael  Paul is the son of a former colleague and Stephanie graduated in  crime analysis. What a wonderful smile.

here are some pics of that meeting

Wedding at La Font du Broc by PG Photography wedding Photographer in Saint Rapahel fréjus and Draguignan

After having waited for so long Melissa et Greg were finally able to choose the music for the Slideshow of their Wedding at Château Font du Broc last summer. Enjoy it with Coldplay’s Viva la vida

Friday Mélissa and Greg said “yes” at Draguignan. Afterwards, their family and friends joined them at Château Font du Broc. As this was a very international wedding, I was rather happy to be able to make myself understaood in a variety of languages! Despite the oppressive heat until quite late into the evening, there was a distinct party atmosphere so I left quite late – only to not be late the next morning for Marie and Frédéric’s wedding in Cannes.

Here are some photos of this wonderful day.

I do love that shot. This group of attendees were turning much too fast and the young man with brown tie almost hit me to the ground  !

Nobody had ever told me that being a wedding photographer was a risky trade.
