Carly and Nicolas live in the south of France so their pre-wedding shoot was the first time that we’d met.  They are a lovely couple, relaxed and obviously delightfully happy in each others company. It was a joy to spend some time with them having fun taking their photographs. Carly and Nicolas get married later this year at Coltsfoot Country Retreat, one of our favourite venues.  We can’t wait!

Karen and I are just back from a short summer holiday between weddings. Of course we are right in the middle of the wedding season, and that coupled with the runaway success of Alter Ego Portraits means this blog has been a little neglected recently.  Well that is going to change because I have some amazing shoots I want to share with you. I’ll be starting with a quick catch up of some of this year’s pre-wedding shoots then sharing some truly spectacular weddings.  Watch this space.

Thank goodness weather forecasts aren’t always right. On the day of Ruth and Mark’s engagement photo shoot it was supposed to rain heavily all day. As it transpired, apart from a brief shower, it stayed dry until after the shoot was over. I don’t mind photographing in the rain – it’s a fact of life for a UK wedding photographer – but I was happy it stayed away.

As well as being a good looking couple Ruth and Mark were also great fun to be around. That’s usually a recipe for fab pictures and so it turned out. Here’s just a selection of favourites from the shoot.
