Woke up this morning to a beautiful day here in Saint Paul-de-Vence…
.. and so we decided to make the most of the good weather and the amazing view…
.. from the balcony of Janet’s villa – which we were shooting today.
The storyline:
The setting is simply out of this world – you can clearly see the stunning medieval village of St Paul De Vence from the balcony – and the villa itself was built in traditional Provençal style. Every direction you turn, there are beautiful towns and places to see and visit – from sleepy little villages in the mountains to buzzy cosmopolitan towns on the coast – bliss!!
Janet and her husband Ken toyed with all sorts of ideas about furnishing and decorating their villa – which incidentally is called Jasmin Villa because Jasmin trails over the balcony – when you throw open the shutters, the scent fills the air and is something else !!
Anyway, it was then into the main bedroom, which Marie sorted out very quickly…
.. while I lit it up to complete the dream…
.. before finally heading down to courtyard area…
.. which Marie styled to perfection…
.. as I put up netting to reduce the contrast, before we sat down to enjoy what we had just shot 🙂
So that was basically day 4 – which we would like to thank Coup de Foudre for the tablecloth and cushions – and Janet for giving us the opportunity to produce such lovely images – in what has got to be one of the most beautiful places in the world.
From Marie & me – in the French Riviera.
