And I get a message from Vogue, Vogue.com, who want a photo from me the moment she's married. And I'm thinking, OK, I'll just keep snapping away at whatever I do. And I watch The Civil Wedding and then I get on my bike, go home and start putting things up on the screen. And I'm looking at pictures going, I've got fuck all. I've got shit. I can't. This looks like crap to me.

And this happens to me every time. Every fucking time. And I'm looking at the pictures going, they look terrible. They really, really look terrible. Blurred and this and that and badly positioned and... I'm cursing myself. And the one thing that I remembered that she said to me is that, look, whatever you do, don't let any picture have me drinking or smoking in it. And I went, oh, OK.

And the one thing that Vogue said to me is we want to see her smiling. And the one picture where she was smiling... And she had champagne in her hand and she had a cigarette. So, OK, I was not a Photoshop kind of guy, but I managed to get rid of the cigarette. I'm thinking, OK, how do I get deal with the champagne shit? And then the one thing occurred to me. I thought, OK, I'll do it.

I'll desaturate it. Not black and white, but it'll have an there'll be elements of tones. I'll make it, you know, so you can't see that it's champagne. And I did that and I cropped it in a certain way. And I went, that's it. Why didn't I think of this before? You know, 1930s, 40s, 50s, Princess Grace, black and white, old school. So then I turned every picture I had black and white.
