Katie & John | Engagement

October 22, 2010 · 21 Comments

You know what, I’ve never really been an autumn person myself, but I have to say that since I started shooting engagement sessions, I’ve really grown to love the season. There’s just something special about the light (although I still detest how early it disappears in the autumn!) that gives a bit of magic to images.

Katie and John live in Calpham in south London and wanted to do their session close to their home and to their usual haunts. I didn’t really know the area at all previously, and it’s always quite exciting exploring new places. I’ve been meaning to do sessions at Clapham Common before, but for some reason that never happened – now I think I was just waiting for the right couple, and the right light!

I really enjoyed my time with Katie and John, and I can’t wait for their wedding next year, as it also means I get to return to the gorgeous Northbrook Park. Yay!
