Alexandra and Justin are the sweetest couple from New York City. I met them two years ago in the City for their engagement session in the middle of Central Park cherry blossom trees. Their wedding was nothing but an amazing event. It was my first time shooting at the stunning Villa d'Este, on Lake Como.

We started this perfect September weekend by a portrait session on a Riva boat that took us in the middle of the lake. This was immediately followed by Alexandra & Justin's welcome event, on a cruise that took us along the shores of Lake Como. The wedding day itself was nothing but amazing with a stunning bespoke Michael Kors' dress, stuning florals by Rattiflora, and the most beautiful firework above the lake.

Excited to share Elisabeth&Karim's wedding today, as featured on Vogue Paris. Definitely one of my favorite weddings of the season, in one of my favorite cities: Venice. A wonderful wedding celebration perfectly orchestrated by my friends from Chic Weddings in Italy, surrounded by a great team of friends including Marco Caputo (Video) and Harold James (Hair&MakeUp).

Elisabeth&Karim both live in New York City. Originally from France, Elizabeth met Karim (Libanese) in a Boston to New York flight where they were both upgraded and got seats next to each other. How is this to get a relationship started? The rest is history.

Two weeks ago, I had the great pleasure of being interviewed by Andy Kushner for The Wedding Biz Podcast. I have been following that great ressource for wedding vendors for years now, and being part of the speakers is an immense honor. In that interview, I'm speaking about my personal journey, and how I left my comfort zone to leap into wedding photography and professional fulfillment 5 years ago. You can download the podcast from iTunes or listen to it from the embedded link in this post.

By its history, architecture and location, la Vigie is one the most prestigious venue of the French Riviera.

Located on the water's edge overlooing the Principality of Monaco, it used to be Karl Lagerfeld's holiday house for 10 years. This is where Joanna & Troy - an adorable couple from Hong Kong - decided to tie the knot. The flowers of the coastal ceremony almost floated in the air, as if suspended by water, set in front of an infinity arch. At night, the Principality lights twinkled and the sparks of fireworks filled the air. This was just the perfect Spring wedding on the French Riviera.

Kiawah Island Golf Resort is a premier luxury beach resort near Charleston, South-Carolina. That's where Kendall&Dee used to spend their holidays as kids, and that's where they promised to get married. I have fallen in love with South-Carolina, since the time I studied in Wake Forest University, NC, more than 15 years ago now. I just love the authenticity and warmth of the South, the weather, and the food (yayy to Shrimps&Grits!).

Kendall&Dee's wedding weekend was a fabulous event perfectly styled and designed by A Charleston Bride. We were blessed with great weather and so much kindness from these two families.

Megan & Matt are one of the kindest couple I've been given to meet. Coming from San Francisco, CA, they had decided to tie the knot at the gorgeous Villa Orlando, in Bellagio, Lake Como. For their event, they trusted Steve Moore, from Sinclair&Moore. Steve has been such an inspiration to me since I started working in the wedding industry ten years ago, and I'm so glad to call him a friend now. As for all of his clients, he went beyond and above for Megan & Matt, and the result is one unique wedding!

Diana and Alex met as Diana was living in China and Alex in Hong Kong. Even though they didn't want a long-distance relationship, they knew they were meant for each other. Diana (a wedding planner) was actually the one to plan the proposal. They flew to Chengdu, in Sichuan, where the biggest panda research center is based, hence the theme of the wedding.

Diana and Alex organized their destination wedding on November 13th 2017. Ninety loved ones gathered for a multi-day vacation in Budapest, Hungary. They took this opportunity to host a fice-day cruise on the Danube River and spend some quality time with their guests and family. The wedding itself - on land at Fisherman's Bastion - celebrated the bride's favorite animal and was perfectly styled and designed by Joy Proctor in an elegant white and green color palette.

On February 10, 2018, Nadear & Andres invited sixty guests for an epic, two-part event in Phuket, Thailand. First, they had a morning ceremony to celebrate the bride's Thai heritage. Secondly, they planned an afternoon (and evening!) of events that included a Western wedding ceremony, beachside cocktails, and dinner and dancing in a ballroom transformed to look like a floral wonderland.

In fact, the whole theme of the weekend was to transform the five-star beach resort into a dreamy enchanted garden, what was wonderfully achieved by The Wedding Bliss Thailand. Ronan Keating sang his hit "When You Say Nothing At All" (from the Notting Hill movie) for the couple's ceremony entrance; and the newlyweds cut into a nine-tiered wedding cake!

It's not everyday that your bride is a professional model. Crystal models in Hong Kong and when you meet her, you get instantly hit by her effortless beauty. Crystal and Andrew got married on the French Riviera last summer, at the stunning Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild.

The day was magnificently planned and designed by Lavender&Rose, with touch of pinks, relating to the venue's facade and Crystal's favorite color. The invitation suite was stunning, designed by The Calligraphy girls, and Crystal had planned every single detail that make my job as a photographer so easy.

"Greg is literally a dream to work with - I cannot recommend him enough as a photographer. After meeting him just once, I felt like we were old friends. The photos of the weekend exceeded my expectations as they thoughtfully depict the aesthetic of the events, the personalities of our family and friends, and the wide range of emotions we all went through.

Shot on film, the photos are editorial, dynamic, and beautifully composed. I could not be happier to relive the moments with the collection he captured! We had so much fun with Greg and his team - so many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed working with him as a photographer and just being around him - he was a hit!!"

"When we first met Greg, we instantly fell for his warm personality and aura. In a way it felt as if we already knew each other because it was like interacting and communicating with a friend. When we received the photographs, we saw what an exceptional talent Greg has. He captures the beauty of settings and moments, and makes it possible to forever cherish some of the best memories in life.

Not only does he see magnificent scenery and small details, but he captures the feelings and emotions of everyone present: the bride, the groom, the family and friends. In essence he savored the ambiance created and made possible by all those we love and are so happy to have shared such a special day with!"

Don't shoot the messenger but the holidays are going to be here before we know it and as winter brides are in the thick of planning, this Austrian celebration crafted by A Very Beloved Wedding is just what the doctor ordered.

From the prettiest snow-filled landscapes to a candlelit palace and pretty pomegranate details, even the most ardent lovers of summer will find themselves dreaming of the coziness of winter.

"We knew from the very beginning how we wanted our wedding to look and feel: romantic, dreamy and soft. It was very important for us to have our wedding day captured by the perfect photographer and when we found Greg, we instantly fell in love. We were ecstatic when Greg agreed to be part of our destination wedding in Bali and we cannot thank him enough for delivering the most picture perfect photographs!

Thank you Greg for not only taking the most dreamy photographs but for also being a genuine and beautiful person! We are looking forward to capturing many more moments of our lives with you and creating more memories together! With love, Rachael & Darren"

The Four Seasons Hotel in Florence, Tuscany, is the background for this whimsical wedding planned and designed by Sarah Haywood, with amazing florals by Vincenzo Dascanio. The bride and groom being celebrities, we will respect their privacy here.

But I couldn't but share some of the designs and backdrops of this wonderful day, including a live music performance by John Legend, and the party being led by Martin Solveig. Oh and yes, that one time when the bride wore a Chanel Couture dress!

"From the moment our wedding planner recommended Greg, we had a look at his portfolio and we instantly knew we had found our wedding photographer. Finally meeting in Cap d'Antibes was such a pleasure as Greg's energy is so infectious, not to mention his witty humour, which made us all really comfortable on the day.

Greg's photographs exceeded all of our expectations by far! We are completely blown away and will always be grateful to him for capturing our wedding so beautifully!"

"What you want from your wedding photographer is the ability to capture on camera what's happening inside your hearts. He needs to have qualities of Houdini (producing magic, appearing and disappearing without being noticed) and the taste of Diana Vreeland. His work should be Instagrammable or worthy of a magazine cover but intimate enough to be found inside a wallet.

Greg is all this. And a lot more. He understands like few that love is a universal language spoken with gestures and looks. Hands that touch and smiles that will never be repeated in time. He does it with a witty sense of humour and a warm personality that makes you feel as though your best friend is actually in charge."

A wedding is sometimes exposed to nature randomness. Jaecelle&Andrejs learned it the hard way, with their wedding venue being cancelled just two months before their wedding day. The pouring rains in Big Sur during the winter broke a bridge, and made their original venue (Paion Estate) inaccessible.

That's when Diane, from Big Sur Weddings, played her magic for an amazing Plan B. Jaecelle&Andrejs, both from California, ended up getting married at Rocky Point, before an alfresco dinner in the Carmel Valley, where we could all enjoy an amazing sunset.

Caitlin&Patrick live in Seattle. Patrick being from London, that's where they had decided to tie the knot. I had met this sweet couple earlier last year for their wonderful engagement session in Joshua Tree National Park, with the company of their best furry friend Moxie.

Caitlin&Patrick didn't have a specific theme for their wedding and once they had picked the venue, they let the style kind of fall into place. Hedsor House is indeed the location where they shot most of the scenes of the tv show Downtown Abbey. So Caitlin&Patrick kept everything very elegant and classic. They had as many gold accents as possible, and kept the rest of the colors very moody and organic.

From the moment Vitrie and Daniel became engaged, they dreamt of saying 'I Do' in a French château. The couple's dreams became a reality when they became husband and wife at the spectacular Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte at sunset in the château's gardens.

From the outdoor ceremony, the couple celebrated with their loved ones in the central rotunda of the château where textured, rose quartz and serenity blue-hued arrangements filled the room. Lush and luxe, it was a day the newlyweds won't soon forget.

The French Riviera calls for easy breeze and summer laziness! So what's more appropriate to start off your wedding weekend, than a welcome dinner a la Fresco by the Mediterranean Sea? This is Charlotte & Greg's welcome event, perfectly planned by and designed by Lavender&Rose, at Plage Keller in stunning Cap d'Antibes.

Charlotte and Greg welcomed their wedding guests on a pond overlooking the Cap d'Antibes, followed by a coral welcome dinner, with beautiful summer florals by Roni Fleurs.

Claiming that Isabella and Igal have been my bravest couple of last year would be an understatement. Both living in London, they organized their destination wedding in Istanbul, where Igal is from.

This was without counting on the fact that a coup happened in Istanbul exactly one month before the wedding date, or the fact that it rained the whole day, when it was sunny and hot the day before and the day after. That said, Isabella and Igal kept a huge smile on their face the whole day and it's been such a great pleasure to photograph these two's big day!

Colleen&Matthew came all the way from Minneapolis, to have their dream wedding in Paris. They held their ceremony and reception at the Shangri-La Hotel. So far, so good!

Except that the bride had decided to surprise everybody, including the groom, with a stunning red Vera Wang dress. No one had a clue, and I loved how Colleen declined the red on each and every single item of her style, from her makeup to her shoes!

Eva&Jon came all the way from the United-States to tie the knot in Paris, for a wedding day that ticks every box you might ever have dreamed of. A stunning Monique Lhuillier blush gown. A beautiful historical venue in Paris. Luscious blush florals we can't stop thinking about.

And finally dancing the night away with your new spouse in a gilt-edged ballroom. This black tie affair has it all in spades! The day was perfectly planned by Loli Events, and cherry on the cake… all of the paperwork was designed by the bride, who owns Fat Bunny Press studio!

"Working with Greg was such an incredible experience and we really look forward to having Greg photograph other pivotal points in our lives. All the photos reflect and capture ambiance and mood of the day in its natural state. Greg was able to capture our wedding day with such grace and give it the attention and detail it deserved.

He was so kind and fun to be around and everyone in the wedding party loved him. I am so incredibly in love with all the photos and the way he captured our special day. We feel so lucky to had have such a talented photographer capture our day."

Hailing from Virginia, Christina&Sam decided a destination wedding in France was the vision for their day. They chose the Château de la Bourdaisière – a stunning XVIth century castle in the Loire Valley – as backdrop, and brought on Fête in France to help every details fall into place.

Christina&Sam exchanged vows with the glorious castle as a backdrop. The reception was then held in one of the castle's galleries, with a wonderful color setup.

When the bride packs her (gorgeous!) La Tavola linens in her suitcase, and travels with them from California to France, well that's what we call dedication! And it was beyond worth it! Natalie&Joon live in Manhattan Beach, California, and came to picture-perfect Provence to tie the knot at beautiful Château de Robernier.

A perfect day planned by Lavender&Rose, with beautiful floral design by Miss Rose. And many more French special treats and details!

"When Australian couple, Nissa and Nick swooped up their guests for a destination wedding, it meant the adventure of a lifetime. I'm talking a wedding held at a French castle straight out of a classic fairytale.

Nissa looked every bit the bride in a Galia Lahav gown, with makeup by Vata Beauty, and the always incredible Greg Finck captured the photographs that are certain to become treasured heirlooms." Stephanie Weers, Style Me Pretty.

Kelly and Andrew came from Houston, Texas, to organize the wedding of their dreams on the French Riviera. For the venue, they opted for Hotel Belles Rives, an Art Deco villa turned five-star boutique hotel sitting directly on the Mediterranean Sea that F. Scott Fitzgerald lived in while he wrote Tender is The Night.

For the theme, Kelly chose to compliment the surrounding Mediterranean Sea by utilizing shades of blue. They trust Wanderlust Wedding for the planning and design, and Big Day for the floral design and decors.

Natalie and Alexander both live in New-York City and I had the pleasure to photograph their winter engagement in Paris a few months ago. Natalie's family being from Beverly Hills, that's all naturally that they had decided to organize their wedding in Los-Angeles. A beautiful Persian wedding with a stunning set up and a lot of joy and dancing! I am particularly in love with the huge wedding party!

Eva&Peter live in New York City, and I instantly fell in love with them. They are so easy-going, with a great sense of humour, and hanging out with them in the West Village for their engagement session – featured on Style Me Pretty here – was pure joy. Peter's family is from Puerto Rico, and that's all naturally that they had decided to organize their wedding in San Juan. Saying that I was not disappointed by that wonderful day in Old San Juan is a huge understatement. I fell in love with Puerto Rico and was in awe all day capturing that beautiful wedding.

Surrounded by dreamscape gardens on a picturesque French estate, Sam&Joe exchanged vows beneath an arch made of sanguine florals, a backdrop of provencal olive groves beautifully translating the effortless romance of their ceremony to guests. The bride, defined in a delicate French lace blouse paired with a structurally timeless skirt by Rime Arodaky, befitting the elegance of her surrounds.

In-between a dispersion of olive tree's lay the reception, evoking a relaxed mood with accents of monochromatic slates paired with glowing candles woven throughout a cascading tablescape, intricately detailed with opulent florals, creating a sensory ambience.

Hana&Mahi are a couple from Dubai, who got married at wonderful Château de la Napoule, in Cannes. This was undoubtedly one of my most beautiful weddings of last year, perfectly designed and planned as usual by Lavender&Rose, declining a green color palette.

Floral design by Miss Rose by Perrine was at the center of this beautiful day, with an amazing structure for the main table. Food was absolutely exquisite, by Potel&Chabot.

Sydney and Brian both live in New York City but have spent most of their kids' holidays around Skaneateles Lake, in upstate New York. That is all naturally that they had decided to organize their wedding around the Lake . An elegant and beautiful wedding day, and so much joy and happiness despite a moody weather.

Sydney is truly one of the most luminous bride I've got to shoot this year and I feel so blessed to have flown all the way from Paris for this beautiful day !

Sofia and James, both living in London, decided to have a destination wedding in Lisbon, Portugal. As Sofia's heritage is part Portuguese, it was a natural decision. They immediately fell in love with Palacio da Sao Vicente de Fora, in the heart of Lisbon. From the outside, it is a vey unassuming location, and guests are wowed once they entered the gardens and walk into the ceremony area.

Azulejos are everywhere in this 1606-built palace, and it was like having an art gallery on all the walls. This perfect day was designed and planned by The Wedding Co., a team of such talented and kind women.

It's quite difficult to attend to the wedding of an English and a German during the football Worldcup. England had just been beaten by Uruguay, and Germany was heading to being the next World champion. Nicky and Daniel are a wonderful couple from London, who had chosen sunny Provence to tie the knot.

A fabulous day at Château Grimaldi, perfectly designed by the superstars of Lavender&Rose, with beautiful flowers from Wayne Riley. Thank you so much to Gert Huygaerts, who made the trip from Belgium to assist me the whole day and whose some pictures are here below.

Saint-Jean Cap Ferrat is the perfect location to tie the knot on the French Riviera. Ideally located between Nice and Monaco, this small peninsula just calls for summer laziness, turquoise seas, and easy breeze lifestyle. That's the location which was chosen by Maryam and David, for their glamorous and chic wedding.

A fabulous day designed by the still awesome girls from Lavender&Rose, in the splendid venue La Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild. I had the pleasure to be assisted by Ingrid Lepan on this wedding, whose some images are included here below.
