PROVENCE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Following on from Day 01 of Ellie & Dean at Blanche Fleur, is this Day 02 of their Provence wedding photography.

The location was Blanche Fleur, a complex of self-catering accommodation on the site of an old disused mill.

The moment I walked through the gates, I guess I got the same feeling they did on their first visit, - this is going to be a great place for a wedding!And with 3 days in which to capture it, in the promised 30 degree plus Provencal sunshine... Well it was always going to be a bit special and so it was.

Someone recently said to me,"Your work that you do in France is a bit special. Even more 'sparkle' than the work you do in the UK. I think it's because you love working there more?"I think they were/are right.

I think there are other factors also including:

The locations; this year, 80% of my work is at brand spanking never visited before venues.But surely familiarity is better? It can be, but also no.There is something extra special about a first visit to a new venue.No preconceived notions or ideas (and I never look at anyone else's work at a venue. Ever.)

The 1/2 day prior coverage option that around 90% of all clients take up.This makes for an even better set of results from the wedding day.Combining a thorough recce with an on-site meeting with a pre-wedding location shoot plus low-key documentary coverage of the evening such as;outdoor meal, BBQ or as was the case here, pizza van!

Sunshine! It's not guaranteed of course, but with the majority of my weddings in France taking place May-Sep and more towards or in the South, we get a lot more than the UK.
