Simona & Dan | Engagement

November 18, 2009 · 21 Comments

If there was an award for the craziest engagement shoot weather ever, Simona & Dan’s shoot would win hands down. Oh. My. God. Gale force winds and horizontal rain made this one of my most challenging shoots to date. I have to say that Simona and Dan were absolute troopers, and despite the slightly ‘windswept’ look, Simona managed to look absolutely stunning throughout! They are one of my (many!) couples getting married at the Andaz next year, and as if that wasn’t exciting enough a prospect, their evening party will take place at the Gherkin. I can’t wait!

    "If there was an award for the craziest engagement shoot weather ever, Simona & Dan's shoot would win hands down." If there was an award for the best photographer to come out of that with world class imagery, you'd have won hands down Marianne. This work is exceptional. I am, quite frankly, in awe.

    Yup, you just rocked this one. They are a beautiful couple and everything about these images say warmth, fun and love… You used your environment so well. Really, just a stellar collection of images, Marianne!

    Love these-you did an excellent job! I love the penultimate windswept look too. I did a wedding on that day-there's not much to love about British weather!

    Lovely shoot Marianne (to be expected of course!) – I have a shoot at the Borough Market so will be hunting out some of those locations! Not sure about the oysters though… very brave!

    I love your work Marianne; so refreshing. Refreshing too to see shots taken in our great british November weather; all those west coast USA blogs I follow are getting me down with all that sunshine LOL!
