Rachael & Daniel | Engagement

July 5, 2011 · 10 Comments

Everything’s a bit upside down, as I’m getting ready to travel to two destination weddings and trying to finish off as many sessions as I can before I go away. Hence I’m blogging Rachael & Daniel’s engagement session first, even though technically I’ve shot it last… but yeah, there’s logic in there somewhere I promise!

What made Rachael & Dan’s session especially remarkable, was the fact that while taking pictures up in the gorgeous Kensington Roof Gardens, a plastic flamingo shaped garden ornament suddenly jumped up and ran away! I mean, oh my god, I had no idea there were actual flamingoes living it up on a roof top in London! How crazy is that??

In other news, Rachael & Dan are ridiculously cute, wouldn’t you agree?

Rebecca & Andi | Engagement

When I headed off to Becks & Andi’s engagement shoot I was looking at the dark clouds trying to wish them away. And it seems that did work to a certain extent, as we only got a few drizzles towards the end of our session.

Becks & Andi are getting married in Cornwall next summer (hands up who can’t wait!! Me me me!) so we were out on a hunt for some appropriate street signs to incorporate into the pictures. I also got to break out my new toy, a 45mm tilt & shift lens, which was an early birthday present to myself. Can I just say, I think I’m in LOVE with it! <3 Like seriously.

I had so much fun with Becks & Andi, and they were up for anything, even standing in the middle of a roundabout (we did have to run off a few times when cars wanted to use the road, weird). Afterwards we went for a tea and talked about all their plans for their Cornwall wedding, which is going to be absolutely amazing. Thanks so much guys for being so cool, and for finding me in the first place!
