You can view a larger slide show @ Wedding at the Hotel Crillon, Paris. Deirdre and Charles celebrated their wedding in Paris this past weekend. The weather was just superb, reminiscent of those beautiful summer days we've never quite had in Paris this year. Deirdre's dress is Oscar de la Renta, my favorite designer with Vivienne Westwood. They are now off to Radjastan and the Maldives, two of my favorite places. Please take me there :). I am going to start offering "Honeymoon Luxury packages" with special discount to the first client who takes me back to the Desert dunes of "Jailsamer".
Here is an interview of Oscar de La Renta for the N.Y Times.

By the way, we do provide high end DV video services, Super 8 as well as photography for your very special wedding day. You can view sample of Fine Art wedding video on "Olivier Lalin weddings" site. WE DO LOVE Super 8. IT is the film that our parents used in the 70s. It has this raw, stylistic quality that you will not get with modern DV technology.
Only it is cost-prohibitive for many of our clients to produce an entire wedding film with Super 8 or 16mm film. You might not be able to afford an entire wedding
footage. We can tailor a package where real super 8 film segments would be inserted in the HD video footage to add to the final product an edge.
We always give our clients the film on DVD as well as the rushes and the original Film strip in this "beauty" customized little box.
Meanwhile, here are a few words of appreciation from one of my bride.
" Dear Olivier,
You of all people should understand how words simply can not express our gratitude for the gift of your work.
You gave us our dream to hold onto - what a talent you have.
You are so wonderful and we feel just so very lucky that you were a part of our wedding and that you were the one to capture our memories.
And of course, everyone LOVED you!
Trish "
