sam and jacks wedding

sam and jacks wedding

just like a bbc news story: the pictures and the words don't go...

here's me and frances from yesterday (as promised).
don't we look sweet?

photo. mr jonathan simpson (props).


got back to the farm late last night, after the cutler and gross do at the ICA.
and some odd illegal drinking/smoking den in soho.

after too few hours sleep, drove down to somerset in my mum and dad's vw camper van with excited maximum and z (and mrs.perou) for our friend's wedding.

'twas a LOVELY occasion: a proper country fayre, english do: special day.
would love to have some pictures to show y'all but i was a little exhausted and preoccupied with trouble 1 and 2.

regardless, had a really good time.
i like weddings: a melting pot of everyone's friends all assembled with good intentions.

sam is one of the very top make-up artists in the world.
jack is a music man...he was in 'reef' and now he's got something else going on.

so it was a music / photography / family mix...

i first met sam when she was at the london college of fashion when i was at the polytechnic of central london.
she was the first makeup artist i ever used.

i photographed reef in 1996(?)
they were one of the most pleasant bands i've ever shot.
didn't see jack again till he started seeing sam (5yrs ago?)

two of the very top photographers in the world were there: david sims and tim walker.
i'm a huge fan of both of their works.

line dancing.
spit roast.
live bands.
bunting.
cyder.
camping.

like i say: we all had a double-good time.

until bedtime.
when maximum threw a double wobbler and wouldn't sleep in his alloted bunk-bed in the roof of the camper (next to z).
so i had to sleep next to a snoring, kicking maximum child and mrs.perou had to sleep on a bunk (i wouldn't fit).

notalotta sleep was had...
