a bit Hollywood wedding ish

At the recent australian destination wedding I did between Kylie and James. A part of mine wedding planning is to introduce myself ask the priest about the service.

I always ask when in the service will the kiss be, normally there are three different moments this could be. This priest gave me the look and said ' ooooh thats a bit Hollywood wedding isnt it ?''they might do that in Los Angeles' I disagreed and said Im sure 99% of the guests here will say they are expecting ' You may kiss the bride' . I told the groom James, he also thought that would be part of the service, this was the reaction he recieved when asking.

Castle Winter Wedding

Destination weddings are over for the year, next stop Los Angeles. Groom Peter and the bride Sandra had just the most amazing day, we were so lucky with everything, except the veil flying off into space. Everywhere we walked there was a new location to shoot at.

They took my advice and brought very long sparklers to light up this winter wedding.We ended the day at magic hour with views of the city.

Hollywood Castle Destination Wedding

Kieth and the bride Alona chose a swedish castle for their candle light destination wedding,everything was candlelight except the classic hollywood lighting technique I used.



Most of the guests had travelled from California and Florida, talking to Alona's dad we discovered we both came to america within days of each other in 1980.

Wedding in Tuscany

A magazine just made a request for cool wedding cake toppers, I remembered this from a wedding in Florence Tuscany I photographed.


I was a little slow on the uptake on this one and wondered why the groom had a carrot as his button hole ... figured it out yet ?

Credit Crunch Weddings

On my wedding feed this morning this came up ... thought it funny the line the credit crunch is so the moment'
Henry Kaye, a company that sells wedding dresses online and to other retailers, has launched an area on its site: "Credit Crunch Wedding Style " There, customers find "cheap bridesmaids and flower girl dresses" costing less than £50. Putting the phrase on the site has helped sales, says owner Sharon Gavin. "The credit crunch is so of the moment. Everyone is talking about it."

Australian Destination Wedding

This past weekend I had an Australian Destination wedding, in a lovely village in Norfolk, Wells.

Guests had come from Perth and around the world for this international affair. James and Kylie chose a Pub, The Crown to have their wedding in, what a great idea the wedding had a total homely feel to it .... strangely in the pub though there was no Fosters.
