Claudia + Nick – Andalusia, Spain

Claudia & Nick are getting married in Spain at ‘Villa Padierna’, followed by a reception at ‘Babilonia Olivia Valère’, later this year. I am thrilled to be their Marbella Wedding Photographer later this year. :)

Ahead of their celebrations we first met in London, followed by some time spent together one evening in Marbella for these sunset pictures. I always say that meeting, getting to know one another, and shooting a few pictures together, is so much more about the wedding day itself, rather than the pictures taken on the evening. That’s still true here. However, it was obvious because we had so much time to explore together, that this pre-wedding shoot was always going to end up here and an example of what a little faith can result with. ;)

The latter point above is a hint at the details of the locations I decided to use for this time together, that instead of heading to the beach or some lovely villa, we ended up in two lay-by’s by the side of the Ronda road above Marbella. Whilst I knew what we would be able to achieve, it was perhaps not so obvious to Claudia & Nick, especially when I introduced the idea of a smelly lay-by on a hairpin bend. :)

A little faith required, that I am sure you will agree paid off. Most importantly, some confidence installed before the wedding day, which is another added bonus of the time spent together. :)

Next up, their Marbella Wedding Celebrations in a couple months time! Whoop!

Sandy + Tom – Bali, Indonesia

Just a few short hours after returning from their individual nights out with the guys and girls around for their wedding celebrations in Bali. Tom & Sandy agreed to meet me on the beach just before 6am for this amazing sunrise over the beach of Komune Resort, Bali, where they got married just 35 hours later.

It was a phenomenal morning, if not very hot running around on the beach, even before 7am! The surfers were already out and we got stuck right in as soon as the sun peeped above the horizon.

Needless to say a few hours sleep was required afterwards, but top marks to this amazing pair for making it out, after what was probably less than 2 hours sleep and a rather alcoholic night prior.

Sally + Steve – London, UK

I am as much a sucker for some cool light as the next photographer, so when I met up with this pair in Regents Park about an hour before sunset one random weekday afternoon (not really expecting to have any direct sun at all) ‘we’ spent about 40 minutes hunting for light around the park, before it inevitably disappearing out of sight. When I say ‘we’, perhaps I mean ‘me’, I think after several days of shooting without seeing much of the godlike feature which is the sun, I was over keen to make good use of it. :) I think we said ‘hello’ and 90 seconds later we were away.

Anyway it was great fun to catch up with them both and hopefully my eagerness to run around a public park and find some cool spots, will only reassure them, that I’m in it for the pictures. :D

Hope you like. :)

Guildford Engagement Photography

In a few weeks ill be flying out to the beautiful Lake Garda in northern Italy for the wedding of this lovely pair from Guildford. It was nearly a year ago that we met in Devon during a friend of their’s wedding which I was photographing. As it happens, time has flown by and just last weekend we met up again to chat about their plans, catch up and shoot some pictures at Newlands Corner, just a few miles from their house.

I can never stress the importance of this 30 minutes or so enough. Only to say that what have we got to loose? – Yet always afterwards its such a positive reflection and step forward from good to great wedding pictures.

Hope you like these few frames – :D

Really looking forward to catching that flight to Verona and documenting their time in Italy with their nearest and dearest.
