Where have I been, and with who....... ?

I have been to an amazing Wedding in Italy with one of my best friends and two of the US's best know celeb photographers. !!

Reason, well safety in numbers and success comes from surrounding yourself in realiable, trustworthy friends.

We worked hard and late, but boy did we have fun and got some quality time to persue a dream of ours in Florence itself. 

All this before the Wedding !

First we needed cars, Italian in style and size to ensure we zipped around the towns

Ray's car......

Mike's car.......

Bob squeezing into Mike's car ......

We drove to the most amazing venue and checked in.......... wine, olives, grapes, cypress conifers

Tuscan terracotta walls......

Our passion apart from Nikon and Apple is PANERAI, the Italian watch maker. History, style, Unique movements and limited watch productions make this almost a cult. Guess which watch is whose ??...

Which led us to our dream location, the PANERAI  original store from 1890 and the Museum integrated into the store where every watch since 1936 is displayed. Awesome and the give- aways were well worth the trip.

I have limited ability to show the party and Wedding shots but just as a small sampler this is a fountain of Vodka in the courtyard. !!! Check out Ray Santana , Mike Colon and Bob Davis blogs for more fun imagery and some approved shots.

and of course no Wedding in Italy is complete without the godfather shots !!!

The Wedding Photography resource of All things Wedding Photographic

In the making for sometime, prophotohub.com has been the brain child of experience, desire and need whilst plugging a hole for photographers who focus on the wedding industry and do not have time to run around different sites/forums/blogs and keep up with the latest and greatest.
Run by Ray Santana, a friend of mine, i am happy to shamelessly plug this site as a great resource as I know Ray has been passionate about this for some time and I am glad it has come together. The interview sections are a brilliant coffee morning read, so logon, sit down, dunk a biscuit and get hubbing !!!

Leave a comment for Ray, these things only grow and improve with feedback.

Poacher turned Game keeper

A big hug and kiss to a friend of mine who has assisted me a few times now. She got married a few weeks ago and gave me the honor of recording the day. A beautiful person as well as bride and when she put the dress on, I kinda didn't recognise her.

Well the funniest piece to me was she admitted how strange it was to be that side of the camera, especially with me this side. 

Anyhow it was great. Claudia and Mark you guys were brilliant and so in love it was lovely to be there and I know they won't mind me sharing that beautiful dress and the great location of Ottley Hall in Suffolk.  x x
