Saleema & David | Engagement

April 5, 2011 · 57 Comments

I first met Saleema & David what now seems like ages ago, when they booked me for their June 2011 wedding two years in advance. We’ve been meaning to do their engagement session ever since then, with the possible location changing more times than I can count. In the end we settled on doing the session in Vienna, as that’s where Saleema & David currently live. It was a bit of a fly-by visit for me, flying in in the morning and back home in the evening, but well worth it. It was so nice hanging out with these two beautiful people, and I absolutely loved Vienna (the night before I got so excited about the prospect of reliving one of my favourite movies, Before Sunrise, that I hardly got any sleep! :D), I will definitely be returning for a longer visit one day.

I can’t wait for Saleema & David’s London wedding in June, and will definitely be keeping an eye on Saleema’s blog in order to see what kind of things she has planned for the big day.

P.S. I’m so kicking myself right now for not having any of that mouthwatering cake!

    This shoot reminds me of the film Amélie…such a sweet couple! I love the photo booth shots and the negative space & texture of the big grey building! Stunning

    What gorgeous photos, my husband and I are having professional photos taken today (we have been married nearly 23 years and didn’t have professional photos taken at our wedding) your pictures inspired me to not be so nervous!! I am also black and my husband white!! Also Vienna is one of my favourite places but some advice, when in Vienna. You.Have.To.Eat.Cake.
