Rachel & Tom {Engaged}

Meet me at St Pancras. Both a signature cocktail at the St Pancras champagne bar, and part of their marketing strapline, but most importantly the suggestion for one of Rachel and Tom's early dates. They wanted to recapture some of the magic of those early meetings and so our shoot took in Waterloo station as well as St Pancras and a stroll down by the South Bank, to take in some of the delights of Wayne Hemingway's vintage themed festival.

Vi & Tien {Engaged}

Vi & Tien are getting married next year in Vietnam, and they wanted some engagement shots in Spitalfields, which is an area close to their hearts. I met them for the first time on the shoot, and I'm so pleased I did. Not only were they absolutely fantastic in front of the camera, but they were totally up for anything I asked them to do. As has been fairly typical of this summer, rain was forecast, so we made contingency plans for some indoor shooting and decided to include the beautiful decor of the Commercial Tavern, and enjoy a well deserved drink.

I was smiling ear to ear when I was editing these, so I hope some of that comes across in the images.

Sofie & Jamie {Sneak Peek}

I love this shot and it became an unplanned blog post. Move over impulse buys, impulse blogging is where it's at.

My new website is LIVE!
