Will and Becci Engagement Shoot...

Will and Becci are a really lovely couple and this was a great shoot! When they got Engaged Will did everything right, gorgeous ring and even asked Becci's dad for her hand in marriage before the proposal - so romantic. After which they went to the gorgeous Dunston Hall (also where they intend to have thier wedding night) for a celebratory meal. So what better place to do their Engagement Shoot than the amazing grounds of Dunston. They were up for anything and happy to go with any of my suggestions, even when I asked them to venture on to a golf course (dodging flying balls!) I love this about my clients when I take an image I can see in my head the finished result and its fantastic when my couples trust me when I ask them to do slightly odd things (check out the images lying in the grass!) Well this couple did and here are the fab results...

Sneak Peek... Stefan and Catherine...

Yesterday was Stefan and Catherine's wedding, one I have been looking forward to for months and it didn't disappoint! The weather was a little iffy but just managed to hold out at the most important times of the day (except for when the Bridesmaids arrived at the ceremony!) In the evening the sun even came out for just long enough for us to take advantage and get some beautiful golden light to go with Catherine's stunning antique gold dress. There are LOADS more to come but for now here is there SP...

Thank you for being up for anything guys and for keeping me well fed and watered! big hugs XXX

To Autumn....

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,

Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;

Conspiring with him how to load and bless

With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;

To bend with apples the moss’d cottage-trees,

And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;

To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells

With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,

And still more, later flowers for the bees,

Until they think warm days will never cease,

For Summer has o’er-brimm’d their clammy cells.

I love Keats and really feel this poem sums up the magic of Autumn. This season is fantastic for photographers, everywhere I look there is a gorgeous new back drop and stunning lighting! The leaves are quickly turning golden and rust and I have started to crave stew and mash!

I LOVE shooting in the Autumn and winter. So many people I talk to are 'waiting for summer' to have their family shoot done, which I can understand green grass, shorts and tee shirts the beach, buckets and spades, but look at the results that a autumn or winter shoot can produce; Hats and scarves, wrapped up warm, your family shots take a totally different feel, cosier, warmer, almost more intimate and often (check out the girls in the snow) even more fun!.... Give me a call or drop me an email to arrange your shoot now, if you would like your images to give as Christmas gifts then your shoot must be booked before the 7th of November. Now grab your self a hot chocolate, put your feel up and enjoy these tasters 2009/10 Autumn and winter shoots...

Sneak Peek... cousins

Today I had the pleasure of shooting a lovely set of cousins. Their mums took me to a beautiful park in Norwich, a stones throw from where they grew up as sisters playing in the park! We did the shoot after school and got some gorgeous evening sunshine! The images are going to be a gift for a member of their family so this post is a bit hush, hush - hence the image choice which we had so much fun getting!

Thank you for a lovely afternoon guys and I look forward to seeing you soon x

David and Louise Married.... Sneak Peek...

Yesterdays wedding was great for lots of reasons, the bride was super chilled out and looked beautiful, the church was one of the sweetest country churches I have ever been in and packed to the rafters(!) and the reception was in a marquee in David's parents gorgeous garden! I LOVE garden party weddings, people seem to be super relaxed as the dance floor proved later on! All in all it was a great fun day and all topped off with a chocolate fountain, what could be better! Here is there SP...

David and Louise.... E Shoot...

Look who is getting married tomorrow! I am so excited about this wedding, Louise and David are a lovely chilled out couple and I think their wedding will have a very similar vibe! Getting married at their local village church, the reception in a marquee in David's parents huge garden and a hog roast wedding breakfast, I think this wedding is going to be fun, fun, fun!

For their Engagement Shoot we decided to meet at David's parents and venture round the local fields. David took us up to some land his family owns up the top of a very long and bumpy track which was great as this stunning corn field and barn is not somewhere we would have usually found! They brought along their dog and puppy for the shoot which was a bit of a challenge but made for some fantastic 'full family' shots! All the best of luck for your wedding tomorrow guys and I will see you in the morning! x
