Once a year I try to do something to help a charity with the work I do, and this year the opportunity came when Love My Dress teamed up with Oxfam to create a big old wedding auction. I donated a Beloved session to the auction (already married people should get to play too!), and the bidder who won a session with me was the lovely Janice from Essex.

On the day of Janice and Derek’s session the weather turned truly awful by the time we met, but since we had all travelled from different sides of the city, we decided to soldier on. I have to say I am quite surprised that Janice’s amazing energy and positivity didn’t literally stop the rain and bring out the sun, what a ray of sunshine this lady is! So even though the freezing rain didn’t make for ideal circumstances, I did have a thoroughly lovely time with Janice and Derek, and I think we managed to capture some of the joy that makes these two tick.

Thank you so much for bidding and helping with a good cause Janice, it was such a pleasure to spend time with you both! x
