Vanessa & James | Engagement

November 7, 2011 · 27 Comments

Sometimes the planets just align perfectly. You know those moments, when everything just clicks and you feel like ‘yes, this is how the world should look like’. Well, Vanessa & James’ engagement session was full of those moments. The time of day was perfect for the light, the colours of the leaves were beautiful, and their laughter was contagious. I loved every minute of spending time with these two traipsing around Putney, and I think I’m in love with every single frame I took.

Oh Vanessa and James, thanks so much for making it so that our paths crossed (it was the right day in the end wasn’t it) I feel so happy to have met you, and I hope you’ll have an absolutely magical wedding day in Singapore!

    That’s a beautiful ending of them walking away from you. Also, I wish I could pull off James’s trousers.

    What a beautiful shoot and gorgeous couple – they look like they have so much fun together! You’ve made me very former-home-sick for lovely Putney too. The evening light there is just incredible.

    Wow, you are right! Their laughter is contagious, and while the lighting IS perfect and the scenery IS great, this is the kind of couple that you can just tell it wouldn’t have even matter if it was pouring rain, because they are so in love and it shows! (But that doesn’t discount that your photos are uber beautiful!)

    So gorgeous. Each frame just gets better. That last one makes me want to listen to the Beatles for some reason (a *great* thing).

    @Eliza, it’s all about the trousers. Sadly I don’t have the suave Latin looks required to match :D
