Hilary & Ben’s Oxford Pre Wedding Shoot

March 13, 2014

This shoot took place on a beautiful, hot, sunny day in Oxford, where Hilary and Ben both went to University….and believe it, or not, never met during all their years there. It took a few years later, and jobs in the same department of a City firm, for these two lovebirds path to finally cross. But once it did there they were firmly on one path together. Forever.

Hilary & Ben officially became husband and wife in October 2013. I was there to capture the magic and joy, and it was one amazing day. Coming soon to the blog!

Summer is here….

August 14, 2013

Summer

So summer is well and truly here. I’m talking golden rays of sunshine, beautiful sunsets, lazy balmy afternoons, ice cold drinks and hot hot sunshine. In London as well as Ibiza this summer: yay! We’ve been blessed with beautiful sunshine at almost all of my weddings this year and for that I am truly grateful.

I’ve been super busy of late photographing lots of lovely weddings & engagement shoots, and hence the blog has gone a little quiet. Until things quieten down, I’ll be posting an image each day on my Facebook Page instead, so hop over and follow me at Polly Alexandre Photography on Facebook. I’ve also got some beautiful new branding launching very soon which I am very excited about sharing.

Here’s a sneek peek of Katy & James’ Pre Wedding Shoot in London (yes, that English sunshine again!). I photographed James’s sister Hannah’s wedding last year, and its an absolute delight to be back with the family again this year for their own wedding. They are the sweetest couple and I can’t wait to watch them become husband and wife. Just a few weeks to go guys!

Hilary & Ben – An Ibiza Pre Wedding Shoot

Hilary & Ben flew out to Ibiza along with several suitcases of clothes, although to be fair that should actually be several suitcases of dresses…there’s definitely just one fashionista in this relationship. Although they went to the same university, it wasn’t until the couple actually found themselves working in the same company, in the same department, that Hilary & Ben actually found that they were the perfect match. And as Hilary is Chinese, it was also confirmed in the stars….. in the readings of their respective horoscopes to be more precise. This lucky pair have a match that comes around just once every 11,000 years apparently. The phrase ‘meant to be‘ is an understatement……

Here’s a preview of just one part of their shoot (I did say there were lots of dresses!) and I’m excited to share more soon. Ibiza is a magical place and it’s truly wonderful to be able to welcome my wedding clients out here, and create beautiful photographs that celebrate their love…. this sweet pair were utterly lovely, and I can’t wait for their wedding later this year…..

Ronni & Matt – An Ibiza Portrait Shoot

May 27, 2013

R&M-26

I hope all you English readers are having a lovely Bank Holiday this weekend….although I am in Ibiza this week and so technically it’s not a bank holiday today, I can’t resist kind of half taking the day off…. so after a Pilates class, some greek yoghurt with super manuka honey and a flurry of emailing and blogging, I’ll be off to work on a DIY project repainting some drawers for my new art studio. I also hit the garden centre this weekend (how very Bank Holiday!) and I’ll be rearranging my lemon and lime trees, lavender and rosemary around the studio. There’s been so much going on here lately behind the scenes and I am excited to share more soon. There’s a beautiful new look coming and an exciting new project too…. but for now, here’s a little taste of Ibiza with some more images from Ronni & Matt’s Pre Wedding Shoot last summer. Happy 1st Anniversary to this lovely couple!

Pre Wedding Shoot in Ibiza – Renata & Johnny

February 26, 2013

“We just looked at the photos with a glass of burgundy wine and candles, and frankly, I don’t think we can really express ourselves now properly.. so apologies in advance!

The gallery is on a different level and totally beats anything we have ever imagined even in our wildest dreams, and even knowing that you are a magician!!

We are only starting to realise that this is such a memory for the future, but what we clearly realise is that things happen for a reason. We had a fabulous time with you in Ibiza old town and today, 6 weeks from that day we are ridiculously happy and feeling truly truly lucky that our roads crossed and that you will be there on our most special day!

What is clearly obvious is that you are just a legend and your talent is striking!”

Renata & Johnny’s love story involves 2 jetskis, 2 cities, 1 sea urchin, 40 spikes and a hospital.

This may seem like an unusual story and it’s definitely one of the most original I have heard for sure, but like all good fairytales it has a happy ending. The couple met on a group holiday in Kenya where Johnny persuaded Renata to come out on a jetski ride with him. However Johnny *may or may not* have gone a little bit fast and consequently Renata was thrown from the jetski into the shallow waters. She stepped on the seabed to catch her footing and “ouch!” immediately trod on a sea urchin that immediately shed over 40 spikes into her foot. So it was off to hospital to have them removed. Feeling slightly responsible for her fate, Johnny arranged to take Renata for dinner in London a few weeks later, by way of apology. Except that this was a little more than an apology as rumour has it Johnny actually booked several restaurants for this rather special date…… finally opting for dinner at Daphne’s. The connection was immediate and soon blossomed into a beautiful romance. Despite living in different countries, the couple took it in turns to fly to each other for the weekend so they could be reunited each week.

This summer they will officially become husband and wife, and I’ll be capturing their love on the day they are united forever…..
