What a great wedding. This was the wedding of my wife’s cousin Chris and his beautiful newly wedded wife Nini.

The wedding was held in a little village outside of Paris called Cerny, at the amazing Chateau De Villiers. This time being a guest rather than the official photographer was rather fun, as there was no pressure on me to get “the shot”. I really enjoyed this wedding and I’m very proud to have acquired some great new family members. Chris and Nini all the best to you guys – you are amazing people.

Monica and Chris tied the not on the 1st of May at Chelsea Register Office. It was a pleasure to capture the special moments of their day. Friends and family toasted while being transported in a classic Routefinder bus through to the reception venue which greeted guests with an abundance of colour and a sense of warmth. Congratulations to Monica and Chris!

Update: The show will be on air Tuesday 22/09/09 BBC3 21:00, If you have missed it you can watch it on iplayer by clicking here (UK only)

Katie and Darnell got married under the most extra ordinary circumstances. This wedding was funded by the BBC for the television program ‘Don’t tell the Bride’.

The challenge involves having the Groom organize the entire wedding – everything from the invitations to the Bride’s dress, all within three weeks – and the Bride knows nothing until the Wedding Day!

Katie made a beautiful Bride, and Darnell did an amazing job organizing such a great day for his Bride and family.

This was an extremely challenging wedding to shoot. Competing with two BBC camera crews was no easy task, and I was also told “strictly no flash photography” which made things pretty challenging.

But all and all the weather was perfect and so was the wedding, well done Darnell!

I was told the program will be broadcast later this year (I will keep you all updated).

What a great day out! I had the opportunity to shoot a couple of models who were both fantastic.

The guys were all great and I was fortunate to shoot with the very talented photographer David Woof. Click on his name, for some  nice in-depth info on the shoot setup (and his site its well worth the read too :-) ). Thanks to his great set-ups, I think we got some pretty good photos for the day.

Models: Maria Del Carmen and Earl Jay
