You've Got The Love...

A footballer and a model. Sounds familiar, right? Money, bling, flash, and all the stereotypes that come with the 'label'. But Erin and Fabio's story goes way deeper, beyond any of the surface view that most people think that they see. When people are in the public eye in any sense, it's funny to me that we suddenly think we 'know' them or that we can pass judgement on any part of their life. We all know everything about them, right?

Wrong. Erin and Fab take stereotypes and turn them on their head. What they have is simple, and so very pure. It is young love in absolute transcendency. There is no show and no pretence, no entitlement and no dissimulation, just authentic love and admiration for each other. They have the kind of joy in each other's presence where they can simply glance at each for a brief moment in any situation, and a silly smile comes over both their faces. They are truly, madly, deeply in love with each other's souls, and for us to be able to capture that, is magical.

So forget about stereotypes, shed all those predetermined views, and just watch this story unfold as we did. It is a story about a beautiful girl with a huge heart from Liverpool, and fun loving local boy from Bologna who laid eyes on each other just once... and knew straight away that they were destined to be together.

Alright, OK!

This has been a pretty big week for us - we have a campaign for Sweaty Betty coming out, AND we have a feature in one of the UK's largest weekly magazines, OK!

In June, we went on location in Tuscany, Italy to shoot Fabio and Erin's wedding at the exclusive Castello di Casole. Erin is a gorgeous model, and Fabio is a bad ass Premiership Footballer, and together, they are two of the most down to Earth, nice people you could meet. We wanted to share their feature with you, as well as the images that are in the feature, so that you could get a better look. It was an absolutely stunning day, and these two are so beautiful together! They also donated the fee for the magazine feature to charity, as well as in lieu of gifts, asked their guests to make a donation to charity as well. Seriously, such good people! They raised over £15,000.00 for Anthony Nolan, a charity that helps find donors for those with blood cancer.

We also brought out some of our friends to help us capture the day, and we couldn't have done it without them! Thank you Jess and Adam - we share this feature with you both!
