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!

Ana & Alan | Engagement

August 20, 2009 · Leave a Comment

A while back I donated an engagement shoot for the The Big I Do Redo, and a couple of weeks ago I finally got together with the winning bidders, Ana & Alan, for their shoot. We decided to do their shoot Camden Lock, as it’s local to where they live. Unfortunately, despite glorious sunshine all day, when I arrived at Camden the sky turned dark and it started to rain. Nevertheless, we decided to soldier on and stroll along the canal anyways. We did make the most of it, managing to dip in and out of cover between the bouts of rain and using the umbrellas as props. I have to say it’s not exactly convenient trying to take pictures/change lenses while holding an umbrella though! :D Luckily we wrapped up before the worst of it, as on my way home the skies really opened and I got absolutely soaked to the bone. Now that would have not made for pretty pictures.

Thanks Ana and Alan for being such troopers!

The fee from this shoot was donated to Macmillan Cancer Support and Pancreatic Cancer UK.
