Roman Wedding: day 1

Lloyd June 27th, 2009

We suffered the slings and arrows of Rome’s Fiumicino airport before spending the afternoon taking a look at a couple of venues for tomorrow’s wedding.
First up was Basilica Santa Sabina which has wonderful natural light and is vast so we shouldn’t have any problems moving around discreetly.
Then we visited the gorgeous Villa Aurelio where the afternoon wedding reception is to be held with it’s spectacular views over Rome.

Last posting before we head back to the airport. The photos below include a sillouhette of the Sagrada Familia (still under construction, est. completion date 2026), a shot from under my parasol on the beach, the City of Barcelona as seen from Montjuic and the palm trees of Plaza Real.
Thanks for all the great emails, twitters and comments; it’s nice to know you like the photographs :-)

A mid-week break in Barcelona is a great way to get ready for a very busy summer of weddings.
And it’s a great place to grab a few snaps on the iPhone and here are some from the first couple of days:

Wedding Photography in the South of France: Saturday

As you will know if you have read my previous post, I have just spent a few days in Nice photographing the wedding of Jasmine and Cedric. Being the South of France, the sun shone all day and there was even the comfort of a light breeze to take the edge off the heat.
Jasmine and Cedric were married in a ceremony at Mandelieu Town Hall which is just a few kilometres from the Grooms parent’s home.

They married at 2pm with around 50 guests present in a simple but intimate ceremony. Although the Bride and Groom live in London, Jasmine’s family are Chinese and Cedric’s Swiss so the wedding guest list was quite a cultural mix and the speeches throughout the day were in three different languages.

After the ceremony the couple and their guests spent an hour at the nearby Chateau de La Napoule where we took some great photographs of the wedding party.

Then it was off to the beautiful Eze Village for the evening reception held in Château Eza Hotel’s fantastic Michelin starred restaurant. The restaurant is set high up at the top of the village, has spectacular views over the Riviera and Mediterranean Sea and is a very romantic setting for a wedding reception.

Before the wedding breakfast commenced Jasmine changed into a stunning red evening dress with matching hair clips and earrings.

The happy couple have postponed their honeymoon until later in the year as they have a party in June for all their friends in London and then a second wedding ceremony in China in August.
