Ofeliadorme's Concert

I had a chance to take part in a very cool birthday party last week ...  It was lovely to take these photos after having had the pleasure of seeing again (after a very long time) a friend of mine from Agrigento who is now playing in an Italian band based in Bologna, Northern Italy. The band is called OfeliaDorme: Francesca is the loveable vocals and guitar, my friend Gianluca plays the bass with Tato and Michele completing the band. They played in London at The Cross Kings pub and have also played in Manchester earlier this year. 
Here a few photos of that evening!

 

Civil & Hindu Wedding at Lanesborough

I just realised that I havent' blogged about weddings yet.... time to make

put that right!
First of all ... one of the London Weddings I shot this year was featured
in the Modern Vintage Bride Blog -- the bride was wearing Joy from
Jenny Packham's 2009 collection and the post in the Blog is under the name 'Joy'.

Another interesting wedding of the year was Jenny and Sam's wedding held at
the Lanesborough Hotel in London. After a very emotional civil ceremony,

they changed clothes to prepare for a Hindu ceremony. The wonderful details
of the furniture at the Lanesborough reminded me somehow of the Italian
film "The Leopard" by Visconti, while the magnificent colours of the Hindu
ceremony gave me plenty of marvellous material to photograph. I must
mention the beautiful flowers prepared by Drake Algar at his shop in St
John's Wood.
Hope you enjoy my blog!

Maternity Photo Shoot

Busy, busy, busy ... I almost forgot to mention this great maternity photo

shoot I did about a month ago.

After having had the pleasure of taking Isabella's Wedding photographs last
year, it was really cool to return to take some pics of her new bump!
Happy husband is over the moon that there will be a baby bundle of trouble
around soon!

Irene and Francesco's photoshoot

Back in Sicily last month, I did this photoshoot of Irene and Francesco, a

young couple who are getting married in a couple of years time.
We did the shoot in their countryside home "La Casina Rossa", which is a
small house surrounded by the wild beauty of our land. It was full of
fantastic spots for my photographs.

We had a fantastic time after a very hot Sicilian day, and I was also glad

to meet their little pony Fiore who was clearly quite happy to be the main
subject in some of the poses!
