Alexis & Jack | Engagement

February 17, 2011 · 62 Comments

What can I say… I love my job at the best of times, but sometimes I just have to pinch myself. Sometimes I feel knocked sideways by the amazingness of it all. Especially at times when I get to hang out with incredible people such as Alexis and Jack, who are just so completely open, and so full of love for each other that it practically hits you in the face when you catch a glimpse of it. How privileged do I feel to be able to witness and document such a beautiful thing.

Alexis, who is like a little ball of positive energy and good vibes, runs a wedding blog called Omg I’m getting married! (a site every bit as vibrant as her personality) and as a result the wedding she’s planning is going to be, in a word, E-P-I-C. I get all impatient just thinking about it!

For their engagement session Alexis & Jack wanted to head to London’s Chinatown. They met while they were both living in Hong Kong, so this part of town feels very homely to them. It was pretty perfect. The hustle and bustle, the delicious smells all around, the sun (oh, the sun!) – it was aaall good.

Thank you so much Alexis and Jack, for giving so willingly and for trusting the process, even when I told you to sit in the middle of a busy street! Love you guys.

P.S. Last but not least, can you all join together in singing Happy Birthday to Alexis as it is indeed her big day today!
