Romantic Engagement Session in the Surrey Snow!

I've been in my absolute element this week not only having fun with the girls making snowmen and sledging but out and about with the camera bag too! The local stretch of canal is now completely frozen over and makes a great backdrop for wintery outdoor portraits.

The loveliest bride-to-be you can imagine, Trudi and Paul, her England Rugby scrum half fiance had an impromptu engagement session in the snow this week. We had the idea way back in the summer that we'd hold off doing the pre-wedding practice session in the feint hope we might get some dreamy snow pictures over the winter. And the dream came true! See the truly romantic results in the clip above. Paul and Trudi are SUCH a pleasure to photograph - so clearly in love and such a fab, fun couple! (I really can't wait for their wedding!)

The place we took these pictures is very close to my base in Woking and I would happily take any intrepid couples or families down there and 'make hay while the sun shines' - or rather take pictures while the snow lasts! Infact I've been there again this afternoon for a family of nine having a birthday photo session (a gift from my friend Kevin's wife for his 30th birthday).

Please contact me asap if you'd also like some photos in the snow, before it melts!

Off to Spain for Suzi and Dean's nuptials!

I am getting excited as later in the Summer Suzi and Dean have their three day wedding celebration with friends and family in Spain, and I'm their photographer!

We had Suzi and Dean's Engagement shoot way back in July along with a quirky session for a truly original invitation design dreamed up by Suzi. We had fun in the evening sun in their back garden and took some pictures that are firm favourites of mine! I know there's going to be so many beautiful pictures I'd better stock up on more flashcards to make sure I don't run out of memory as I am bound to get carried away!!

Ed and Pip - Wedding warm-up session

It really looked like we were going to get rained off on the Bank Holiday Monday morning we'd earmarked for our 'wedding warm-up portrait session' but we were blessed with the most fantastic weather (bright but cloudy). And although we had a plan to wander round the nearby Goldsworth Park Lake we didn't get further than the back garden! Pip and Ed are a terrific couple, so at ease with each other and naturally fab for the camera! Without masses of space to move around the photographs turned out to have a gentle and intimate feel to them. A result I am very pleased with!

I am so thrilled that it'll be me taking the photos of Ed and Pip's Woking wedding in September. It's going to be a great day....

Pre-wedding shoot with Sarah and Ollie

A great relaxed morning was had outside Sarah's parents' lovely place beside the Thames.... we missed the snow (sadly??) but I do love all the soft greys and the silvery winterness. Its really a pleasure to
photograph a couple who are so up for having fun. Its a countdown now to their wedding in Dorking at Eastertime... Can't wait - they have an especially challenging/exciting shot or two for us to get - all will be revealed!
