Natasha and James - Engagement Session!

Phew, I haven't posted for a while, bad me. I was on holiday and then I was sick (excuses, excuses!). Anyway, here is a post that will cheer everyone up. Natasha and James are THE cutest couple I've ever met! They are so lush - I want to bottle them and take them home with me. They are getting married in September next year and I'm unable to shoot the wedding because we'll be away (...darn! - its going to be a really cool wedding too) so we decided to do an engagement session instead. I just realised that I've chosen lots of kissing photos for the blog, but thats okay, because the idea of the engagement session is that I capture Natasha and James being in love together. This was done in London by the way.

Here they are!




I used to work with Natasha so I know that she is always this smiley - I imagine her and James are like this all the time! Lush.



Look at the fabulous shoes!!











This is so romantic in a kind of gritty urban way don't you think?





How sexy is this?



Okay, just to set the scene here - it was about 5pm on a cold, windy, rainy Saturday in November, and Natasha and James are each wearing a cocktail dress and a thin shirt, standing in the middle of the traffic on tower bridge being stared at by tourists and photographed about 15 times to get the shot right (we did non-kissing shots too). I feel like I should be paying THEM! Wowee!



This is such a good idea. We did a few different versions of this shot so that they can choose one to send on a card to friends and family about the wedding next year.



Ah, more romance - this is where they had their first date!



The ring - I didn't even comment on it on the day, but looking at it in the photos I love it!! So unusual and really stunning.



Okay, last one I promise!



I'll have your gallery up in a couple of days guys. Thank you so much for being such good sports. Natasha, if you have a cold now after all that exposure I'm sorry - it was worth it though wasn't it? speak soon xxx

Halloween and bonfire night!

Yes! I love this time of year. Here are my favourite images from the last few days. We went to see the fireworks in Coopers field and they were great. The only thing was, the health and safety fence was about 300 metres from the bonfire. Oh well. Here are some fireworks:





After the fireworks Ann had to have a photo with her bike.



And then of course everyone else had to have one too. I'm not sure how happy Rich will be with me putting a photo of him with a girls hat on my blog.. but this looks like a cool bmx gang/band photo so who cares?



Emma is a tree expert. Here she is taking a photo of one on her phone:



Here is my first ever carved pumpkin - doesn't it look sinister!



Mel on Halloween, looking great with her new eyebrows. I think they suit her:



Fun with sparklers:




Yey! Right, I am going on holiday tomorrow and I'm not back until next Sunday. 90% of me is sooooo excited!!!!! I'm off for a week - no work! And its going to be so much fun!
The other 10% of me is quietly calculating 7 days without my laptop.

I'm sure I will have some lovely photos on my return. xx
