Erika & Jon | Engagement

November 9, 2009 · 23 Comments

As a rule us photographers generally have a very turbulent love affair with light. More often than not dark clouds and grey skies try to come between us (unless you’re lucky enough to be a photographer in California), but sometimes we just manage to be in the right place at the right time. On those days, when the sun comes out to play and it’s all good, you know that you and light are as tight as can be.

It was pretty much the perfect autumn day when we went to Primrose Hill for Erika & Jon’s engagement shoot on the last weekend of October. The gloriously warm and beautifully low autumn sunshine made me a bit giddy, and all the colourful leaves were like sensory overload. If only every day and every shoot could be like this!

    Great stuff, very cute couple….Can't wait to see how gorgeous Erika is going to be in her dress.

    Side note: LOVE the phonebooth….We don't have many in these parts and the ones we do have are just down right ugly!

    I thought I was in love with you Marianne at first, but now I think it's the tones. Definitely the tones. But you're still awesome.
