When I first heard about Salome and Stephane and when I first discussed with them about the wedding, it was supposed to be a really small one: just friends and family, no more than 30 guests. They didn’t want to organize a big event: as they have already been together for a long time and have two kids, they were only approaching it as a way to officialize their status.
When I called Salome two days before the wedding to review the final plans with her, she sounded quite stressed. I thought that this was the usual anticipation as we were now approaching the big day.
Well, when I rang at their door in the morning, Salome was totally freaking out: nothing was going as planned. The small and intimate ceremony was now turning into a big wedding! The mother of the groom decided she needed to take things into her hands and now we were approaching a 100+ guestlist… And all of this changed in a week!
You can easily understand why she was freaking out. She had so many things to think of: How were they going to feed that many guests? Where were they going to have the party? Where would all the guests sleep? and so on
I talked to her a lot during the entire morning, trying to calm her and telling her to take one step at a time. And that’s what we did. She nearly panicked 4 or 5 times but each time there was a problem I calmy talked to her and help her smooth the bad news. She was really grateful and told me afterwards that she would have never make it it wasn’t for me: it really made my day!
Anyway, in the end everything was perfect. We had a really fun and young group and everyone was really beautiful and playful and I think it shows in the pics.
She really took things like a trooper.
But the results were worth it.
I really like the mood in this one
They really were perfect for each other.
This kid was so great! Fun and sweet! I had to take a pic of him.
Didn’t I say that this was a young, hip and fun group?
