After the lovely Lauren & Chris’s Brighton beach pre wedding shoot the other week I went for a quick bite to eat for lunch then met with the equally lovely Claire and Mike a bit later on for their engagement shoot!  More windswept fun, chatting and snapping and strolling along the front together.  These guys even went on the Carousel along the prom and we stole a couple of deck chairs again for another iconic shot!  Claire & Mike have such a fab chemistry together, always giggling and laughing – I have a feeling their wedding day at Gaynes Park later this year is going to be sooo much fun!  I can hardly wait!

The other week I went up on the train to the big smoke for a lovely London engagement photo shoot.  There’s nothing smoky about Hampstead Heath though, what a gorgeous place!  It was so lovely to meet up with Katie and Steve too, have a stroll around their favourite park and chat about their big day coming up very soon.

Pre wedding shoots for me are about getting to know couples a bit before I capture them on one of the most important (and fun!) days of their lives.  If we get a couple of good snaps too that’s a bonus!  I am really really looking forward to their wedding in June in none other than Westminster House!  Followed by a boat trip down the Thames to the Chainstore; a big warehouse and lighthouse in Canary Wharf.  The photo ops will be endless!  Bring.it.on!!!

London Wedding Photographer London Engagement Shoot

The other week I had another fabulous engagement photo shoot at West Dean Gardens – I think this may be my new favourite place! No snow this time, in fact Jo, John & I sat outside in the pub for drinks afterwards to go through some albums and have a good old chat about their day and we couldn’t believe how warm it was!  Still not many flowers around in the actual gardens but the lambs & the sunshine were both out and of course the blossom in the Victorian greenhouse was still there.

It was great to meet Jo & John and I can’t wait for their wedding in a couple of months at Grittenham Barn.  They are gorgeous together and on camera and just such lovely people too which all makes my job that much easier… I am so lucky to meet so many wonderful people in this job!

Here are some of my favourites from their engagement photo shoot…

 

Jo & Chris get married in just under 2 weeks now and their engagement shoot was postponed several times due to bad weather & yucky bugs, recovering from hen dos and stag dos etc etc !! … in the end we just went for it on Easter Monday despite the freeezing temperatures and wind!  They love the beach so we met down at Ferring for a few snaps along the seafront there.  I can’t wait for their wedding day – they’re getting married in Arundel Cathedral then onto Ham Manor golf club for their reception.  We’ll be spoilt for choice for places for photos but we’re all hoping for some warmer less windy weather!

Here are some of my favourites from their engagement shoot on the beach the other day…

See you soon guys!

If you’re planning to get married in 2014 please get in touch asap to check availability… would love to hear from you!

Ann & Paul’s pre wedding shoot was so much fun, largely due to the hilarity that their 3 gorgeous hounds always bring to the day!  Emmy, Martha and Johnny are all rescue hounds from GRWE and they’re all totally bonkers in the own way.  Emmy has the best pointy ears ever and boy does he love his mum, Martha is loopy and fast and won’t sit still, she is adored by Paul (and Ann too, but mostly she’s a Daddy’s girl!) and Johnny… well he’s just so sweet, not the cleverest hound I’ve ever met (bless him!) but so loveable and fits in perfectly to the family…

They had a photo shoot a couple of years ago on the beach with just Emmy & Martha and we’ve remained friends ever since. When Paul popped the question (and Ann said yes!) they asked me to be their photographer – which of course I said yes to as well! I can’t wait!! Their big day is going to so beautiful (trust me, I’ve seen Ann’s pinterest board!) – at Pendley Manor in Hertfordshire.  I’ve never shot there before but I’m really looking forward to seeing what fab backdrops it has and capturing their unique and gorgeous day there for them.  Will the dogs be making an appearance??  But of course!  Eeeek – there will be one very happy photographer that day!

Here’s a sneak peek of the dark, damp cold day pre wedding photos – we even had a flurry of snow!  Loving Ann’s red coat – really brightens the photos.  Oh and I must say a quick thank you to Ann’s mum for coming along for lead holding duties when Ann & Paul were having some pics on their own.  I say lead holding duties… it was more lead holding, poo collecting, prop lugging around… what a star!  xx
