Chapelle de la Garoupe Antibes

We just returned from the beautiful south of France although the weather wasn't the best!
Still, we stayed in Antibes, few steps away from "la Chapelle de la Garoupe" , one of my favorite place on earth. Just South of Antibes is the Cap d’Antibes - the rocky, wooded peninsula stretching into the Mediterranean sea. La Garoupe is the highest point of the peninsula. A trip to the Chapelle de la Garoupe is an unforgettable experience. On the top of the hill you will find la Garoupe's holy place with its chapel and monastery. This place has been a spiritual site since the 5th century, when the Sainte-Hélène worship started.
This small Chapelle was built in the 16th century. It is also called "Nôtre Dame des Amoureux", so appropriate for wedding celebrations on the French riviera.
Breathtaking .... So enjoy the video.
And by the way, a few steps down the hill, you will find the
Grand Hotel Cap Ferrat, beautiful wedding destination and a cosy hang out for celebrities during the Cannes film festival.

Destination weddings - Love it

Posted by Olivier Lalin -

I have just spoken to a Bride who is getting married in St Vincent in August 2007. She was inquiring about my availability and whether I wouldn’t mind traveling to the Caribbean for the wedding. As a matter of fact, most of my weddings are Destination weddings.

I do travel worldwide to photograph weddings in the most exquisite locations. This is such a Bliss. Not only did I managed to make a career out of a passion but I am getting paid to travel to destinations where I would probably never have been otherwise. Destination weddings takes a bit more organization with logistics, ect - But I love the “adventure” aspect of a destination wedding. I do need a budget for my assistant unless guests do not exceed 100. I usually spend three days with the wedding party that gives me lots of time to produce wonderful images. Then if I am lucky, I will stay an extra day. In St Vincent, I will probably end up staying another week and relax before the wedding season begins in NYC.
