In the time since our last post, we’ve driven from Italy to northern England, photographed Phil & Jen’s wedding and driven back! 2600 miles, 5 different beds in 7 nights, a car service, a portrait session & a lot of coffee!! We’re home for just two days before travelling for another wedding in Italy followed by a quick flight back to the UK for a wedding on Saturday & then home again Monday? Are you following this?!
We’re rapidly catching up on our backlog of weddings to process. Unlike many photographers, we actually work every single file that goes into our clients album and this inevitably adds greatly to our time – but we strongly believe that it’s absolutely worth every minute spent on them. During our busiest periods of the year, this can slow down our delivery process – especially if we lose days whilst travelling but we do as much as we can whilst we’re sat in Airports etc. to stay in touch with everyone and keep them up to date with where we’re up to.
Meanwhile, next year’s bookings have gone through the roof. We’re already 50% booked on our target and with several enquiries open, we’re likely to be fully booked by the end of this year. If you’re thinking of reserving your date with us, please don’t be disappointed by waiting too long :(
Ciao for now! – Andy

We spent a few days in the Dordogne (France) last weekend in order to photograph Martin & Rachel’s wedding at Chateau Le Mas de Montet. After a couple of beautifully warm days, we were all surprised to wake up to an overcast & wet Saturday! The ceremony was switched from outdoors to a beautiful room in the Chateau and the enclosed space made for a really intimate ceremony. As fortune would have it, the weather cleared up later in the day offering everyone the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and, later in the evening, the fireworks.
It was also great to catch up with Dave & Nina (we photographed their wedding last year in Siena) and see so many of their friends & relatives who shared both of these lovely weddings.
As we’re away from home, we don’t have the means to ‘work’ these images – but here are a few to give you an idea of what’s to come:
Le Mas de Montet – this is actually out of sequence, as it was later in the day when the sun made an appearance and lit up the building, but it sets the stage perfectly for the images that follow. Check out the large Redwood in the foreground.
A confetti moment.
I was going to put this into black & white but if you can see the colour of this little guy’s eyes together with the boquet colour, you’ll understand why it stays this way.
Martin & Rachel were just getting ready for a large group photograph. I like the way they are the only ones paying attention whilst Amy is trying to gather everyone else together.
Maggie – a VIP (Very important pooch!)
Awwww.
And finally, from the Mitterrand suite looking out at the couple on their balcony.
That’s all for now – we’re in and out of internet contact whilst we’re travelling for this week’s weddings; if we don’t reply straight away to your emails, that’s why. Ciao! – Andy
