Emma and Jon | Borough Market | …& Counting {London Pre-Wedding Photography}

We had such a fun time with Emma and Jon on their pre-wedding shoot – partly because of their unusual and inspiring choice of location, but mainly because they were such good company.  Warm and funny, we soon felt like we’d known this lovely couple for years, despite this being our first meeting.  We met up for a morning drink and a chat, and then wandered the treasure trove that is Borough Market, loving every minute of it.  Thanks Emma and Jon for introducing us to such a perfect location, and for making our job so easy and enjoyable – we hope you enjoy the photos!

Victoria & Simon’s Cambridge Courtship | Engagement Photo Shoot

This was (pretty much) our first trip to Cambridge…I say ‘pretty much’ to account for Erica visiting when she was very young…and what weather we had for exploring this beautiful place steeped in history! It was our first time meeting Victoria and Simon as we’d only spoken on the telephone before, and Simon was a great tour guide filling us in on the history as we walked through the streets and into Trinity College, Cambridge University where Simon studied for a number of years. We were lucky enough that Simon had pre-arranged for us to shoot within the grounds of the College which was perfectly quiet given that term hadn’t yet started. Trinity College is an amazing place and it was inspirational to shoot there. Eventually we made our way to the River Cam where Simon took us all punting, and we then finished off within the beautiful private Fellows Garden. Victoria and Simon are getting married at Kirtlington Park in Oxford and we’re really looking forward to being there to capture their day for them. Thanks for a great engagement shoot, Victoria and Simon, and we’ll see you on your big day!

Claire & Dan’s London Pre-Wedding Shoot

We’ve had a real run of good weather for our pre-wedding shoots, and Claire and Dan’s shoot on Hampstead Heath in London was no exception! Claire and Dan’s first date was on Hampstead Heath, so what more fitting a place could there be for their pre-wedding shoot? We all met-up on Parliament Hill (the highest spot in London), flew a kite and then had a long amble through the Heath as we chatted. Claire and Dan are (by their own admission) possibly the smiliest people you could ever wish to meet, and looking at photos of the two of them just makes you want to smile too.

Vicky & Pete | …& Counting {London Pre-wedding Shoot}

Christian and I have been out travelling a lot these last few weeks, meeting up with couples for their pre-wedding shoots ahead of the big day.  It seems that many of our journeys have been to London, and tiring though the travelling can be, we seem to love London more and more each time we visit, seeing something new every time and soaking up atmosphere.  On this trip we met up with the lovely Vicky and Pete on a very sunny day in Springfield Park in Hackney.  It was a new location to us and turned out to be a great one, with some varied backgrounds including a lovely walk along the canalside.  Vicky and Pete were great company and we had a lovely time chatting about the progress of their wedding plans and getting to know them better.  Thanks Vicky and Pete for a lovely day – we hope you enjoy your photos!
