Jenny & Miles from last weekend in Cambridge. Was Jenny & Miles from last weekend in Cambridge. Was 👌🏻 to be back shooting properly again!
We decided to head into the woods yesterday to do We decided to head into the woods yesterday to do some shooting. Bluebells are strong at the moment and we even saw a baby deer. We’ve had a lot on our plates recently but are now massively looking forward to weddings kicking off again this Summer 🌞
Up a tree... Yep, we’re still hanging in there t Up a tree... Yep, we’re still hanging in there this year (pun intended). Things are up and down at the moment for us work wise but, as everyone else in the wedding industry, we’re holding out for the best! All is well though and we’re taking time to work on other things like renovating the house and looking after @bernie.bradshaw who’s just had an operation. We’re more than definitely looking forward to shooting weddings again now. This shot was taken on an engagement shoot with Jade & Carl which we approached in a slightly different way and different angle…literally. Approaching things from a different perspective can sometimes bring a new, more natural element to our sessions and getting up high worked for this shoot. Jade and Carl were super relaxed when I took this as I was up a tree clinging on for dear life and the out of the ordinary location brought something exciting to the shoot. That said, this was just a ordinary country path that I made the most of and found an exciting way to use the simple location. Choosing an awesome location and getting interesting shots is why I love doing couple, engagement and family shoots and I also didn’t fall out of the tree… almost. Stay safe people!
We’ve been so fortunate! ⁣ ⁣ So much madness We’ve been so fortunate! ⁣ ⁣ So much madness this year but also so much good luck for us. We’ve actually been able to shoot some really nice weddings and had some amazing times with amazing people. ⁣ ⁣ Here’s a few shots from Emma & Dominics wedding back at the end of August. Was such an incredible day and a much needed boost after Lockdown. They braved the wet weather and didn’t let it affect them, which made me think I should share some of our tips for surviving your portrait shots during rain - ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Heres a few things we’ve learnt over the years -⁣ ⁣ 1. Be prepped for it. Always assume there WILL be rain and you won’t be shocked if it happens.⁣ ⁣ 2. Warmth. Ladies, have a shaul or blanket handy because the walk might be chilly and also they look pretty cool. Guys, if you’re going cross country consider bringing spare socks unless you want wet feet for the rest of the day.⁣ ⁣ 3. Umbrellas. We always bring a selection of umbrellas on the day but its worth having plenty for the rest of your guests and also maybe a couple to fit the theme of your wedding.⁣ ⁣ 4. Find dry spots. We don’t mind getting wet, we have badass raincoats and bags for our cameras, but always have a couple of dry spots in the back of your minds for you guys. Under trees or awnings is a great idea, we can help you find good spots! ⁣ ⁣ 5. Do some shots indoors. Think about this in advance when you’re booking your venue if your wedding is in the winter months. It might seem obvious but if there’s a brutal storm outside this can sometimes be a good option.⁣ ⁣ 6. Be flexible with your timeline. Don’t be afraid to just go for it and head out when the rain holds off our the clouds part. Portraits can happen whenever you want so even doing a couple of quick sessions can work.⁣ ⁣ 7. Embrace the wet. Wedding photos in the rain can be romantic and striking so if you’re up for it we are! Some of the most memorable photos have been taken in the wet!
How’s everyone’s lockdown going now things hav How’s everyone’s lockdown going now things have been lifted slightly here in the UK? We’re keeping busy behind the scenes working on websites and shooting for Laura’s blog. In the meantime here’s a shot of Verity and Ash 🖤
Happy memories from last year! To all our couples Happy memories from last year! To all our couples that are going through wedding hell in these few months, hang in there and expect one hell of a party when this is all over! ⁣ ⁣ We honestly can’t wait to get back to normal and start shooting again when this detritus ends ⁣🍷🥃🍺 ⁣ #detritus
