Stephanie & Rob – Getting ready | Wedding

· 4 Comments

I’m going to process (and blog) Steph & Rob’s wedding in separate instalments. Since the day was quite clearly divided into separate sections – and spaces – it makes it easier to attack the processing in batches. So here’s the first instalment, where Steph is getting ready for the big day.

The wedding was a total blast, but I’ll tell more about in the future posts. I’ve been sitting in front of the computer pretty much all day now and could really use a break… So, watch this space! :D

P.S. I just had to add, thank you so much to my wonderful assistant/second shooter, who was absolutely indispensable in this difficult venue (as you will find out in later instalments!), and also, thank you so much to Steph and Rob for letting us share your day with you!





















Testing, testing…

So I went back to the Andaz today to finally meet face-to-face with Steph and Rob. Had a bit of a panic as first when I was told their room reservation had been cancelled! Turned out that it was someone else under the same name… :D They are such a lovely couple and everything about their wedding is just so cool and relaxed and fun. We walked around the hotel and tried out some interesting looking spots. Some spaces are just brilliant with lots of natural light, while others, where as equally stunning, very dark. So I will have to really think about how to work around that. But yeah, really looking forward to Saturday now!

Something old, something new

Stephanie and Rob are getting married at The Andaz on Saturday, and since I’d never been there before I went to check it out today. From the street you would never guess what a huge and gorgeous place it is. There are cool shapes everywhere, and the spaces flow between the old and the new in a dizzying manner. The setting should certainly make for some pretty exciting pictures on the day!

This is an unusual wedding in the sense that I haven’t actually met Steph and Rob face-to-face yet. They live in Dubai and have been arranging their wedding remotely (phew, can’t even imagine how stressful that is!), so thus far we have only exchanged a looot of emails with Steph. I’m meeting them for the first time on Thursday, can’t wait!

Calm before the storm | Personal

At the moment life feels a bit like the calm before the storm. I’m trying to recharge my batteries as much as I can and prepare for what’s to come. I’m shooting the first wedding of the season at the end of this month, and after that it’s pretty much go go go.
