Forever is now...

It was the most amazing day ever.

Having most of our friends and family gathered around us was the best feeling.

Seeing people laugh as much as we did was awesome.

And hearing from you, my husband, that all the hard work was worth it because it was
the best day of your life,

brought tears to my eyes.


Life as the two of us has just begun; I am so excited.



Here's to you my love:

Love is a temporary madness,
it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides.
And when it subsides you have to make a decision.
You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together
that it is inconceivable that you should ever part.
Because that is what love is.
Love is not breathlessness,
it is not excitement,
it is not the promulgation of eternal passion.
That is just "being in love" which any fool can do.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away,
and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
Those that truly love, have roots that grow towards each other underground,
and when all the pretty blossom have fallen from their branches,
they find that they are one tree and not two.

(From Captain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis de Bernières)

Yummy light at the end of a rainy day. Séance de couple avec Aline et Roberto

Hello, bonsoir,

I took the train up to Bienne to meet Aline and Roberto for their engagement session. I had met them at a wedding I shot last October. Cool that they remembered me!
The good thing about taking public transport, is that I got to see a bit of the town, and noticed some good spots that I could take my couple to later on (for example that old cart full of watermelons!). Aline and Roberto also took me to some of their favorite spots. Roberto actually proposed at the fountain you will see below. The view from the top of the mountain was gorgeous and after riding around on the bikes for 2 hours, we stopped to have a beer and some chips. Great way to end the photo shoot and start the evening :)

These two are getting married in October. I can't wait; I am sure we're going to have as much fun as we did last Friday.

p.s. If you look carefully, you'll see me in one of the photos :) It was a trial shot but I kind of like it.













 Didn't I say "yummy light"?!? Must be one of my favorites!
