Yann et Marlene au Chateau de Villiers le Mahieu

We were invited to Friends wedding a few weeks back.
The Chateau de Villiers le Mahieu where the wedding was hold brought back memories,
a sense of "Deja Vu" as i soon realized I had photographed a wedding there a long time ago,
it seemed anyway!
Regardless, my friend Marlene had asked me to take a few photos of the preparation and her getting ready. She had asked for film and i captured a few moments with some TriX, a 35mm nikon and my rolleiflex. I do not usually photograph Friends weddings but when Yann called me back a few weeks before the wedding day and asked me again, I said yes...
The wedding was great. Yann was my assistant for a while and i was so glad to see those two finally get married.
Off they went to Malaysia for their honeymoon... and my little family to more adventures.

Picasso thoughts and photography

I often seem to get people I meet saying : " If only i had known about your photography when i got married ! My wedding photographer was such a disappointment.
What can I say ...
I just received this email actually ".... When we got married last July, our photographer had a family emergency and told us 3 days before our wedding that he was not able to be there. Therefore, we ended up with the only photographer available. Although our photographs are nice, they are not our style. We love art and fashion and for photographs we love journalistic/artistic style-like Olivier!!! ..." Sweet but unfortunately too late.
I often think of this story of Picasso. He was sitting outside one day and a woman passing by asked if he would do a quick sketch of her likeness. When he was done the lady asked how much she owed, and he said, “That will be $2000 please.” The lady said, “For 20 minutes of your time?” And he said, “No, for a lifetime of experience.”

To propose in Paris

I have just received this little email yesterday from a potential client. I couldnt resist sharing it with some of you who are not hanging at the beach right now ! Very sweet ... I have the chance
to meet wonderful people with photography. I very much hope that I will be fortunate enough to
meet those guys when they come to Paris.
Fingers crossed, he will propose if not I will !


" ... I just found your blog and saw the photos of the couple that got engaged at the Eiffel Tower (beautiful!). It got me thinking...
So, I know this is a long shot, but my boyfriend and I are going to be in Paris 26th-30th of August. I think we might be getting engaged. And by "think we might," I mean I really, really hope he is going to propose on this trip, but I have no hard evidence that it's going to happen. But seriously, we've been together 6 years, we own a home together, what could be more romantic than getting engaged in PARIS?!? ..."

Engagement at the Eiffel tower

Matthews proposed Nathalie at the restaurant "Le Jules Vernes" this past week. We took a few engagement photos around the Eiffel Tower the next day. They are now on their way back to Huston,Texas. Please salute those Texan Cowboys from a French photographer who grew up with John Wayne.
Beautiful August afternoon, the summer is in Paris finally to stay for a while we hope!

Chateau de Champlatreux

Portrait of a bride and her beautiful wedding dress photographed at one of the bedroom of the Chateau de Champlatreux not far from Paris. The photo has been manipulated to enhance its rich color and grain was added to look like a 400 asa Agfa Color Film that doesn't exist anymore I am afraid !
