{Jenn & Paul} Engagement

Jenn and Paul were married in the US towards the end of March, in Jenn's home state of New Jersey. Their day can only be described as one of the most joyous and celebratory weddings I've ever been to! It was amazing to attend a wedding as a guest in America and see how they do the whole marriage thing over the water. And, boy, it didn't disappoint! As most of you probably know - I love weddings. I love everything about weddings. But to be at a wedding in America was just a whole new, fantastic experience made even more amazing as Jenn and Paul happen to be very close friends. Mr O was on Bestman duty so it was great fun for me to stand back and watch him throw himself into the whole wedding experience (just like I always do!) and do his thing. It was great fun for me too, being a guest at such a special occasion, seeing two friends get married and getting to catch up with many others.

As a bonus, we got to spend a few whirlwind days in NYC, staying with some of the best people I know in an apartment in Little Italy. The one thing I love almost as much as weddings? New York City!

A few weeks before heading out to the States, I was in London for a weekend of photography taking with another good friend, Stuart, and we and met up with Paul and Jenn to take a few snaps in celebration of their engagement. Here's how we got on...

Congratulations again guys! It was awesome :) xx

{Susanne & Oli} Engagement

The lovely Susanne and Oli... A couple that made me giggle, smile and laugh for a full afternoon. Susanne got in touch with me after our lovely mutual friend, Rae Mathieson Makeup, recommended she get in touch with me. As soon as Susanne and I had that first telephone call, I was already excited at the prospect of shooting their wedding, but having now heard all about the details and plans for the day I. Can't. Wait.

As Susanne and Oli will be getting married in Aberdeenshire, they thought it would be nice to have their engagement shots near to where they currently live. Did I mind travelling down to almost-London for their engagement shoot? Err, no!! (I LOVE London). Having met in Maidenhead, we drove out to the gorgeous Monkey House - an island hotel not far from Bray in Berkshire where they had visited before and knew to be a particularly picturesque spot. It was a gorgeous sunny day, which when teamed with a moat, endless shady trees, hidden benches and peacocks roaming the grounds I was spoilt for choice in terms of photo locations!

Susanne and Oli - it was so much fun doing your engagement shoot and having a good chat about your day in the lovely May sun :) See you very soon!

A selection of sneak peeks...

Over the past few weeks I haven't stopped moving. That's my excuse for the lack of blog action and I'm sticking to it! Last week alone, I visited 3 out of the 4 UK capitals (OK, so I know I live in one of them but it still counts!) taking photos of lovely couples!

To top it all off, Mr O and I are moving. Again. You may remember I blogged about this back in February, about how we always seem to be changing address. Well, the packing, moving and unpacking could not have come at a busier time! All fun though and I'm SO excited about our new flat, with the kitchen that can fit more than one person in it and a living room with a THREE-seater sofa. Yay!

I know I've been putting a lot of sneak peeks on Facebook and Twitter recently, but the full posts will be hitting the blog over the next week or so, so keep an eye out! In case you've missed them, here's what I've been up to on my travels...



Oh and P.S. - we did find somewhere to live by the sea. And I snapped a quick picture on Wednesday as we ate fish and chips... :)

{Joanna & Patrick} Wedding

Joanna and Patrick were married at the beginning of April in one of the most gorgeous areas of Scotland I've ever visited. Not a stranger to the more beautiful areas of Scotland, I was totally bowled over by their choice of venue. From the lovely church in Inveraray, to the stunning views they had over Loch Fyne for their reception. I couldn't have wished for more dramatic skies to help emphasise the scenery - check out those clouds! Amazing.

The day was just wonderful, full of laughter and celebration. Congratulations Jo & Patrick!


Here's a few of my favourites from their day...
