The Eden Roc, Cap d'Antibes
Gone is the jetty of Old where small boats anchored. THere is now a true pier, which allows arrivals at Hotel du Cap. Sailors would simply need to taste the rare privilege of crossing the Anse du Faux-Argent and the Baie des Millionaires when coming from Antibes or Cannes.

Just a thought !
Simply because this is my favorite wedding venue in the south of France. I would offer two hand made beautifully crafted 11/14 prints to the bride who takes me back to "Villa Ephrussi" for her wedding day.

villa Ephrussi wedding photographer france
The villa Ephrussis a French seaside palazzo constructed between 1905 and 1912 at Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat on the French Riviera by Baroness Béatrice de Rothschild (1864-1934). It was designed by the Belgian architect Aaron Messiah. A member of the prominent Rothschild banking family and the wife of the wealthy Russian banker Baron de Ephrussi, Béatrice de Rothschild built her rose-colored villa on a promontory on the isthmus of Cap Ferrat overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Considered one of the finest properties on the Riviera, beyond its seven themed gardens, the Baroness filled the mansion with antique furniture, Old Master paintings, sculptures, objets d'art, and assembled an extensive collection of rare porcelain.
On her death in 1934, the Baroness gifted the property and its collections to the Académie des Beaux Arts division of the Institut de France and it is now open to public visitation.
The villa is now the location of the annual summer opera festival, Opera Azuriales.
It is a splendid venue for a south of France wedding

Wedding photos taken with a Rolleiflex. I've had this Rolleiflex alongside my journeys for many years. It is what you call a twin lens 2 1/4 medium format camera-
I will just say that it has a beautiful lens, softens the light, uses film and is great for portraits. The images of Heather and Charles's wedding were taken in the Adirondacks lakes region, Up-State New York. First, I love this square format. I love the way you approach a portrait using a rolleiflex. It is straight forward and quite simple after all. You touch the essence of photography which is to capture" the within ".

Wedding photos, St Regis Hotel, New York
There is a truth in photographs that comes from seeing the world as it really is: sometimes messy, sometimes nearly formless in its “organicity,” often unexpected and always fleeting. These photos share a common characteristic, you could never take the same shot the next day. They emerge from “the river into which no man steps twice.” In that respect they come closer to life than many other photographs.
When we consider these photos in The Space Between, we think in the usual terms of movement, color and texture. However, we require more of the photos and of our viewers. Sometimes they are tempted to venture further into The Space Between where we believe their mind engages in extra effort. Integral to that engagement is a shared understanding that these photographs capture a real image at a specific moment in time, but that it has been removed from the contextual frame that makes its meaning and reality understood. In that sense such an image may then be seen as a metaphor for the greater study required in navigating global truths. Context may not be everything but truth can be independent of context.
At one level all of photography is about ordering the world into pattern and light, repetition and disjunction, compression and expansion. These are the rules we were all taught when first we picked up a camera: look for a different perspective, frame the shot, follow the rule of three… there are even rules for breaking the rules: use the lens flare, keep the center of interest out of focus, vary the depth of field, shoot for the blur. Everyone serious about photography has followed the rules, broken the rules, gone back to the rules, and tried to find new rules. That’s not what these special photos are about. They are not even about “a new way of seeing.” These photos are simply about finding a complexity in everyday scenes that might otherwise be overlooked.
Photos taken at The St. Regis Hotel,
This historical Beaux-Arts landmark has been serving the privileged since 1904, and thanks to a recent $100 million restoration, the Midtown gem continues to impress. Built by Col. John Jacob Astor IV of ill-fated Titanic fame, the St. Regis’s 315 guest rooms and suites feature Louis XVI furniture, crystal chandeliers, soaring ceilings, marble baths and silk-covered walls. Need more? For a whopping $12,500 or more a night, the Presidential Suite comes with a dining room for eight, fully-equipped kitchen, library, three bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms. Each floor has 24-hour butler service to tend to a guest’s every whim—including, even to unpack the suitcases. The legendary King Cole Bar and Lounge is home to Maxfield Parrish's famed 1895 mural of Old King Cole, and claims to be the birthplace of the Bloody Mary. Every inch of the property screams opulence—down to the mini chandeliers in each of the stalls on the first floor men's room.

Council on Foreign relation New York
I have been asked by a client to define my wedding photographic style in a few words- Difficult task and i might tend to use thousands words rather to condense 18 great years of passionate wedding photography on all 5 continents.I just picked 10 photos that I believe visually summarize what wedding photography should be about. I hope You will enjoy looking at those photos as much as I enjoyed taking them at the Wedding of Snezhana and Marco Londoner at "Council of Foreign Relations "aka The Harold Pratt House back in november.

Destination wedding in Marrakech
Marrakech was brought to radiant life by the brilliance of 11th-century Almoravid irrigation. Water is no less the unifying element of Amanjena Luxury Hotel. The Amanjena luxury hotel is the first Aman resort on the African continent. The Al-Hamra Maison, are set within an oasis of palms and mature olive trees. Amanjena’s rose-blush walls mirror Marrakech, known in Arabic as Al Medina al-Hamra (the red city). The resort’s design emulates the old Moorish pisé buildings, as well as the Berber villages that cling to the High Atlas Mountains.

I do Like "Monique Lhuillier" wedding gowns. And i am surprised that she has not opened a store in Paris yet. Her Style would fit, so gracefully, the high-end French bride. Have a look at her 2008 collection. I am myself looking forward to meeting her some days. And if you fall in Love, Monique has a store in London.It is simply 2hours away from beautiful Paris!
