"I always cry at weddings...

...how I love to cry at weddings, I walk into a chapel and get happily hysterical!" in the immortal words of Stubby Kaye! But it's true, I'm a "soggy creep" at weddings! Never been married myself but get me in a church or registry office, a few well chosen words, a look of love and I'm pathetic......especially when it's such a couple of good 'uns like Paul and Caz....

Not only do they look so great together, they're practically perfect in every way! Sarah took these amazing photos.....the weather was photo-perfect, late afternoon autumnal back-lighting is the BEST!

You can see I was moved.....

We had dinner in the French House - which is where they met - and it was beautiful, really intimate and appropriately drunken.....It did rather look like a wartime candlelit dinner! With no conferring, everyone seemed to be dressed in a 1940's-esque manner, lots of three piece suits and braces on the men and beautiful frocks on the women in shades of eau de nil and rose....

Apart from Max in tie-dye of course!!

Beautiful day, wonderful people......Caz n Paul together 4 evah! Love you guys!!!

A bit of French

Sarah Lee dropped by the shop yesterday...hadn't seen her for an aaaage and we had a catch up, I watched her eat a pizza with a plastic spoon and we shared our ritualistic eclair from upstairs....

Then my eyes fell on her camera bag.....and drifted up to the shiny new Eley Kishimoto on the rails, and we probably did the quickest shoot we've ever done! We went around to The French House which was a great idea of Sarah's because they couldn't have been more welcoming - even gave me a "prop" glass of wine, AND encouraged us to go upstairs into the restaurant to shoot a few outfits! Unbelievably kind....and the photos are unbelievably great! Not that Sarah doesn't always take unbelievable photos, it's just when we don't plan it and just grab a moment we always do the best ones!

See for yourself...







And we got some great new Westwood hairclips and brooches and it was a shame not to crack off a couple....



Thankyou to the folks at the French and thankyou Sarah for being such a damn fine photographer!
