An old stone mas outside AixProvence, France

Sophie&Rafael

A stone farmhouse, a long table under the plane trees and forty people who had flown in from six countries. Slow, warm and very French.

An old stone farmhouse, a long table, and the whole of August.

Guests walking up the gravel drive to the farmhouse
Rafael’s hands buttoning a pale grey waistcoat
A pearl necklace against Sophie’s collarbone
The garden ceremony with a floral arch

Small things, held carefully.
