Cathryn & Alex | Engagement

May 9, 2011 · 24 Comments

Oh how I love finally getting together with couples after what seems like forever talking over email. Cathryn & Alex are getting married next year in Cornwall (whoop whoop!), and I have to say that even though I’m normally more interested in slowing time down, when it comes to the prospect of this wedding, I wish it was here already!

For their engagement session, Cathryn & Alex wanted to return to Hyde Park, which is where Alex proposed – we even found the exact bench they were sat on when Cathryn said ‘yes’. I absolutely adore these two, and had so much fun making them roll around all over the park (sorry about all the fluff on your clothes guys! :P). Did I say I can’t wait for the big day??
