He’s captured Meghan Markle’s rise to fame through his camera lens over the years, watching her transform from a little-known TV actress living in Canada to the most talked-about woman in the world.
Now Meghan’s photographer friend George Pimentel, who has been close to her for the past seven years, opens up to Woman’s Day about how she’s going with the planning of her big day, just 10 weeks before she marries Prince Harry.
George has known Meghan for years.
“She’s getting on great with the wedding planning,” says George.
“She’s been really involved with every aspect of it, and she wants to ensure every detail is perfect.”
“I know she’s promised all her old friends from Canada that they’ll have a part in the big day, and I’m told she’s already picked the flower girl, the daughter of one of her Toronto friends.”
“I’d love to get that first kiss photograph!”
Meghan’s stylist and best friend Jessica Mulroney has been dressing the actress for royal engagements, as well as offering her expertise on all things bridal.
And there’s been constant speculation that her adorable four-year-old daughter Ivy will be one of the flower girls at the upcoming royal wedding.
“She’s planning on using some Canadian designers for certain aspects of the wedding, too,” George added.
“And, of course, I’d love to get that first kiss photograph!”
