This year is already filled with magical promise for my little business… I am still pinching myself to make sure its real

With my books already full to bursting with incredible weddings I also get to fly back out to Santa Maria in Salerno, Italy not once… but twice..

The first time to shoot another fabulous wedding…and the second…well….

The second time I get to share its magic with an intimate group of other photographers as one of the hosts on an incredible photography retreat… and I cant wait until we can share the details with you

“It’s truly hard to explain how Santa Maria draws you in…  a wonderful mix of ingredients each playing it’s own unique part

the open friendly charm of the people… even after 9 months away they always remember my name

the sweet little town itself… quiet yet busy… the chatter constant in the square… it’s array of quaint little shops and cafes

the very air around you makes you want to fill your lungs until they burst…

and the sea!… in shades of aquamarine you never thought possible, clear and crystalline as you walk straight in and feel enveloped by it’s warmth …

and amongst all that… nestling in the hills… is The Garden Riviera…my Italian home from home and I cant wait to see them all again

All these ingredients tossed together in that casual way that only the Italians seem to manage helps to create a little slice of pure magic “

  With the tourists passing it by for its more famous neighbours Sorento and Amalfi

Santa Maria still remains a secret little gem

Is it wrong to say that for that I am selfishly happy
