Katie & Sam | Engagement

Sam hates being photographed. I mean really hates being photographed. So his and Katie’s engagement session certainly required some cunning methods on my part in order to try to capture some of the relaxed and loving interaction they fell into when ever the camera wasn’t pointing at Sam. Katie and Sam are a thoroughly lovely couple, and we did have a lot of fun, but boy did Sam make me work for my pictures! :D Having said that, he did swear that he’ll be on his best behaviour on the wedding day in December. I’m holding you to your promise Sam! :P

We started our shoot at Borough Market and then made our way over London Bridge into the City. Ever since Carolyn & Marc’s wedding, when ever I’m doing a shoot in the City I just cannot resist going back to Leadenhall Market! I went to see The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus recently, and was so excited to see that Leadenhall featured quite heavily in the film – so cool!

Sam & Adam Rockin’ it out | Feature

Sam & Adam SO belong on Rock’n Roll Bride – they’re just too cool for school (however, using that turn of phrase probably puts me right in the opposite category :P). Sam’s Diana wasn’t just a prop by the way, unfortunately there is evidence of that fact on film…

Samantha & Adam | Engagement

This engagement session felt somehow very special to me as I’d been waiting to meet Sam and Adam for what seems like aaaages. Due to them being busy posh designers, plus living in Italy, it wasn’t the easiest job trying to schedule their shoot at a time when they’d be in London and all of us would have space in our calendars. We headed to Spitalfields for their session, as this is Sam’s favourite part of London, and certainly managed to have quite an eventful afternoon! Among other things, we managed to stumble onto a society wedding, which was quite exciting as there were masses of paparazzi there pouncing on the celebrity guests.

It was so great finally meeting Sam and Adam, I can’t wait for their wedding at the Andaz next year!

Erin & Ben | Engagement

Erin & Ben’s engagement shoot in Marylebone got rescheduled so many times due to multitude of obstacles such as calendar conflicts, being in different countries, and illnesses, that I was starting to despair over whether we would ever manage to get together. I am so glad we did in the end! Erin and Ben are just uber cute, totally cool and up for anything, which made this session really fun for me. It’s not often you manage to persuade your clients to lie in the middle of the road for example. :D I’m sure their wedding in Hong Kong next year will be as cool and fun as they are.

Thank you so much for being such good sports Erin and Ben, I hope you like the results!

Anna & Chris | Engagement

Last weekend we headed to Richmond Park with Anna and Chris (and the incredibly soft Murphy) for their engagement shoot. It was a super windy day, but at least we did miss all the rain that came down later on. These two are simply gorgeous and I could have spent all day photographing them! :D It was such a lovely and relaxing change to be shooting in a park instead of central London as well. We even ran into lots of deer (and baby bambis!). First we thought about trying to incorporate them into the pictures, but decided not to bother them too much after the stag got very agitated over someone else filming them.

I must say I thoroughly enjoyed myself on this shoot, and I think these are some of the nicest engagement pictures I’ve taken. Can’t wait for your wedding next year guys!
