S & O

The place

Normandy & Brittany

Chalk cliffs and pink granite, apple orchards, half-timbered manors and a coast of tides, lighthouses and long summer evenings.

July is one of the easiest months to marry here.

The light

How the light falls there

Northern light is soft and changes by the minute as clouds come in from the sea, and in summer the sun goes down at a low angle, so the golden hour lasts. The tide matters as much as the clock: the same beach is wide sand at low tide and waves at high, so photographers here read the tide tables as well as the sunset times.
