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 !

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.

Pool Jump in Antibes by PG Photography wedding Photographer France

A few weeks after the big day and after having the big jump figuratively speaking, Laetitia and Louis took the big jump for real. Above all, it was a good excuse to wear the wedding dresses again and really who can blame them? So between bad weather spells, they found an adequate swimming pool and took the leap.

Well done to both of them because the water wasn’t particularly warm.

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.
