Asko & Matt | Engagement

· Leave a Comment

Asko & Matt are getting married in June, in the middle of a busy schedule of travelling in Italy and in South America, before relocating back to Matt’s home country of Australia. They wanted to get some pictures in their wedding suits, that would also remind them of the two years they’ve spent in London.

So last Sunday we headed into the City on the lookout for some suit-appropriate backdrops. The boys told me that they definitely didn’t want any ‘shmaltzy’ pictures, which ruled out my usual methods of trying to get people to kiss as much as possible in front of my camera. :D I think they look very dapper in their suits, and I’m sure after seeing the evidence, they can now rest assured that they will look damn handsome on their wedding day!






Lucy & Richard | Engagement

· 2 Comments

Lucy and Richard are getting married at the end of April, and we just about had time to squeeze in an engagement shoot before the big day. It’s always very useful to have an informal shoot with the couple before the wedding day, as it gives us all a chance to get to know each other better in a fun and relaxed setting.

For this shoot, we had a fun time walking around the City and the South Bank in the hunt for some elusive sunlight. This area is very special to Lucy and Richard, as they live right by the river, with an enviable view of the Globe Theatre!


















Testing, testing…

So I went back to the Andaz today to finally meet face-to-face with Steph and Rob. Had a bit of a panic as first when I was told their room reservation had been cancelled! Turned out that it was someone else under the same name… :D They are such a lovely couple and everything about their wedding is just so cool and relaxed and fun. We walked around the hotel and tried out some interesting looking spots. Some spaces are just brilliant with lots of natural light, while others, where as equally stunning, very dark. So I will have to really think about how to work around that. But yeah, really looking forward to Saturday now!

Disc-o-tastic

I was doing hi-res discs of some of the engagement shoots I’ve done recently, and thought that I could share with you what my packaging looks like. When deciding the most appropriate way of delivering hi-res files of my clients’ engagement and wedding photography, I looked at a lot (and I mean a lot) of options for DVD packaging in different materials. In the end I opted for these customisable clear cases, as I wanted them to be all about the images. I think they look clean and fresh and compliment my style of photography. And it turns out I really enjoy the process of choosing and laying out the images for all the different elements of the covers and the tray as well.







Engagement shoots are a lot of fun to do, but I’m really looking forward to the start of the wedding season, which kicks off for me next month!
