What a fantastic way to spend a Bank Holiday morning this was. Sergei and Jenn are getting married at the wonderful Warren House on Sunday. Now, normally, I tend to do engagement sessions a little more than 6 days before the ceremony, but this was a relatively late booking (just last week in fact) and this was the first day I have had free since I got back from France.

Watching the weather all week I wasn’t sure what to expect, but as it turned out, the sun was shining and the weather was beautiful. We took advantage of the fact it was a Bank Holiday and headed into the City of London as we knew it would be nice and quiet. Other than the fact it took me 20 minutes to find somewhere to get a coffee (it really does shut down around there), it was a brilliant. As with all couples it took a little while for Sergei and Jenn to relax, but this is a large part of the aim of the session, and once warmed up they were great fun.

I am really looking forward to this wedding. Besides being a really wonderful couple, this will be my first Russian Orthodox ceremony which looks absolutely fantastic. Can’t wait for Sunday! In the meantime, enjoy a couple of my favourites from the morning:

I met up with Will and Nicol last Saturday for their engagement shoot on the South Bank. This is one of my all time favourite parts of London so I was really looking forward to this session and I was not disappointed! Will and Nicol were absolutely fantastic. A wonderful couple who were incredibly photogenic and natural in front of the camera. I am really looking forward to seeing WIll and Nicol at their wedding at Warren House in October, it should be an amazing day!

Burrows Lea Country House is a stunning wedding venue set in the hills of the Surrey Downs just outside the picturesque village of Shere. I met up with Matt and Michelle to have a wander through the grounds to get some location ideas for some beautiful wedding photos next month. As with all engagement shoots, it also helps on the day by allowing them to get comfortable in front of the camera whilst having some fun at the same time.

Matt and Michelle epitomise the perfect couple for a wedding photographer, a great looking couple and loads of fun (even when I get them to sit in a potting shed!). Their wedding should be spectacular, so here is hoping for some great weather and a brilliant day!

I finally managed to meet up with Sandra and Matt at Bushy Park yesterday morning.  We’ve been trying to sort out their pre-wedding shoot since mid November, but between severe storm warnings, house moving, Christmas and New Year it has taken a while!  As it was, we managed to pick a bitterly cold, grey but thankfully quite dry February morning.  Fortunately Sandra and Matt are great fun and the poor excuse for weather didn’t dampen their spirits, and despite protestations of camera shyness they were fantastic to work with.  Their wedding in May at the stunning Warren House should be a really special day! Can’t wait!
