The beautiful Asiye pregnant with her third child at 7 months, shot on film in Ibiza. And a few behind the scenes shots too….thanks to Sonja for your help with blankets, styling and laughter…. and most importantly welcome to the world sweet Zya-Lou….xxx
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!
More from Matt & Ronni’s Pre Wedding Shoot (you can see Part 1 here), including at La Sardina Loca, my favourite local cafe, recently opened in Cala Carbo, by the same people who own the fab Giri Hotel, where we stayed last year on holiday. Marcel makes the best gin & tonics (the trick is fresh local rosemary, lemons, Gin de Mare and Fevertree tonic), as Ronni will attest, and it’s a cool, laidback hangout with beautiful decor and great food.
It’s not often true love blossoms at a cashpoint but that’s what happened for Amelia and Allan a few years ago. Queuing up with her friend at the Natwest Amelia spied Allan and his friend and thinking he was a bit of a dish, struck up conversation. A chat turned into a few drinks, and a few drinks into a date, a date into a relationship, and a relationship into a family. Right from the outset both Amelia and Allan knew that this was something really special, and marriage was on the cards.
It wasn’t long before they had a beautiful daughter, Eva. Amelia and Allan make good babies – Eva and Theo are just the sweetest children – and the couple are the perfect match for each other.
I was invited to capture their wedding which celebrated all that they have achieved together and all that’s to come in the future.The day before the wedding we did a pre-wedding shoot at their home to get them used to being in front of the camera. And Allan confessed he wasn’t such a newcomer to being in front of the camera….. in fact he was once the face of the St Martin Caribbean island’s tourism campaign.
So may you both have a marriage that’s as sunny as the Caribbean, as much fun as being on holiday and as warm as the sunset.
