After being together for over 50 years, one of the world’s most famous couples have finally said ‘I do’.
Photographer Beatrice de Guigné organised the wedding for Barbie and Ken, and a lot of creativity, passion and patience went into their photo shoot!
Take a look at the rest of the images here, they really are amazing.
And for an explanation of what went into the photoshoot, have a read of Beatrice’s blog post.
Enjoy!

Following on from Sonya’s post about loving photos, and the thought ‘what would you save if your house was on fire?’ I found The Burning House, a website which is absolutely devoted to that very question.
The site is an invitation for anyone to post a photo and list of what possessions you’d take with you. It describes the decision as “a philosophical conflict between what’s practical, valuable and sentimental”. It really does give an insight to your personality, interests and priorities.
Not surprisingly many of the posts include photo albums, boxes of photographs, old film and framed photos. One guy even mentions he’d take his MacbookPro, but “only for the pictures”.
Take a look, it’s so interesting to see what people value. I guarantee you’ll be inspired!
Love,
Anna

Your best wedding photos probably won’t make it to a magazine … or win any prizes … and the reason isn’t because you’re not Brangelina.
It’s because other people won’t be looking at the pictures through your eyes.
Nigel and Kayla invited Heather and I to their wedding, and I’ve just seen the photos.
What really struck me amongst the hundreds of images – and probably because I work with Nigel and know him so well – were a couple of shots that show the rush of emotion he felt when he saw Kayla walk down the aisle.
I reckon one day someone might look at those pics and think – or say, “Gee Grandad, you really loved her…”
Not every photographer understands that their job is to grab those moments, tell your story and pluck at your heart strings.
Cheers, Ian
PS No, I’m not going to show you!

In 25 days I get married.
I’ve known my beautiful fiancée, Kayla, for over 10 years, dated her for over five and we’ve been engaged for one.
We’ve been through some tough times together, shared plenty of good ones and believe that the heart of marriage is the relationship we create.
I don’t consider myself uber romantic, funny, sensitive, or wealthy. But Kayla thinks otherwise. And that’s part of why I love her.
I’m not a wedding planner or a photographer, just a normal guy in love, getting married … who happens to work at Queensberry.
As you’d expect the photographers we work with know what they’re doing. They’re professionals!
But this is my first time.
Over the next few weeks l’ll share some of our observations and experiences, and maybe a few lessons. Take what you like and leave the rest.
Most of what I write will be subjective. One guy’s perspective on one of the most exciting, stressful, enjoyable and scary times in your life. I don’t claim to have all the answers but I do have some insights and opinions.
So that’s me, Queensberry’s resident bridegroom! I hope I can relate with you in some way.
Cheers, Nigel
