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!
London nights | Personal
The nice thing about the dark nights of winter is the lights. I love the lights of London, always pulsating with life.
Nostalgia | Personal
I was inspired to try out some new techniques on old images. These pictures of Miriam & Miikka were shot as part of a series of images for a contest (which, incidentally, I won…) in 2005. I used only one of these hair-throwing ones in the final triptych, and sort of dismissed the rest. I really like the look of them now, having tried new tones on them.

Anna & Andrew | Engagement
I think I should be up for some sort of award for editing speed the way I’ve been steaming through sessions lately! My eyes are bleeding after editing for five hours straight. Anna & Andrew’s engagement session on the South Bank was quite different from how I’m used to working. It certainly was a challenge to shoot in the pitch black (I mean I couldn’t really even see through the viewfinder!) and using fill flash. I’m pretty happy with quite a few of these though. Anna and Andrew are so cute, and were super nice, so it truly was a pleasure!
