This week allow yourself to be transported back to sunkissed Chianti in Tuscany, Italy. I had the privilege of visiting the enchanting Castelo di Meleto for a wedding last summer and captured the estate and surrounding area whilst I was there.

Set on a hill overlooking the Massellone Valley, the historic and elegant Castello Di Meleto is set in Chianti and has incredible views. It offers rooms and apartments with Tuscan-style furnishings, and a traditional semi restored original interior, which is wonderfully atmospheric. I love it when old interiors are not restored to within an inch of their life, and still hold some character and signs of age.

The best part? You can actually stay here without getting married! Yes, it is also a hotel, and has some gorgeous swimming pool areas with beautiful views, perfect for a summer holiday.

It truly is an authentic castle, and a taste of old Italy. As well as the stones and bib urns of flowers, it has those quintessential rows of poplar trees lining the roads and views of rolling hills and vineyards.

The wedding I shot here will soon be published on Martha Stewart Weddings. Keep your eyes open for lots of gorgeousness on their site very soon!

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!

Lina & Andrew’s glamorous London winter wedding was featured in Perfect Wedding Magazine. Sketch was a great venue for a near Christmas celebration and the food was out of this world! We had so much fun exploring the Regent Street funfair creating portraits of the bride & groom & Lina made a gorgeous bride.

Congratulations to the couple who are expecting their first baby any day now! You can see more of their wedding day on my blog here.
