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.

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.
