Ruth & Sergio | Motorbike Engagement Shoot - 26th May 2012

I must admit when Ruth first contacted me to say she wanted an engagement shoot on motor bikes around London and that I would be riding on the back of one to take pictures of her and fiance Sergio I was slightly terrified, but how could I not do it, I'd never been on a motorcycle before and with my biggest fear being getting my head stuck in the helmet, I was actually really excited and couldn't wait till the day. The two of them got engaged just before Christmas and busy planning their wedding in Portugal, with only a few months to go, Ruth asked if I would be her photographer.. Go to Portugal ad photograph a stunning couple.. who could say no.

Halcyon & James | Bonnie & Clyde Engagement Shoot - 22nd May 2012

'James and I met in Brixton Prison. I am a psychologist and he is a prison officer. We are the last people who wish to glamorise crime but we thought it might be amusing to incorporate subtle references to our shared background into our wedding styling. Think less convict and more Bonnie and Clyde, Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty, a white-hot love story with two people completely wrapped up in each other. Steering clear of guns etc. focusing instead on the love story and the look, cigarette smoke, newsreel, black coffee. Love on the run.'

Nicola & Simon | Zombie Apocalypse Engagement Shoot - 21st May 2012

By Nicola Jude

ZOMBIE LOVE

It all started with a proposal……A diamond ring and a perfect meal……and then we noticed something wasn’t quite right. The ambling hordes on the tube journey seemed, well, MORE shuffling than usual. 

Walking home down the quiet streets, past the familiar landmarks the world seemed a little too still and then we saw the first one….Slow, shuffling and heading straight for us. 

Fiona & Sean | Kyoto Garden Engagement Shoot - 19th May 2012

Fiona is half Japanese and half English Sean is English with a hint of Irish. Fiona puts their love as a 'Union of two Island Nations', how adorable. The two of them were so cute they have been caught up in a huge whirlwind of love since the day they meet and their story is very sweet.

Helen-Lorraine & Simon - Testimonial

Lovely Rebecca,

We just want to thank you so much for the amazing photos, the kind words and the brilliant experience.

We don't really have internet access at the log cabin but Simon was able to download the photos last night from facebook after work. We must have spent at least 2 hours looking through them. They really are beautiful you've captured the day and theme perfectly.

Helen-Lorraine & Simon | Dreamy 70's Engagement Shoot - 14th May 2012

I loved meeting Helen and Simon on my trip to the Cotswolds for their 70's inspired dreamy engagement shoot. I cant even describe how cute these two are and so blissfully in love. From the moment Simon came and picked me up, to our chats on the way to his and Helen'd log cabin in the middle of the countryside I just knew the shoot was going to to be wonderful.

Why Budget for a Professional and Experienced Wedding Photographer

I often get a lot of brides wonder why professional wedding photographers charge so much and its often hard to explain why it is worth the money to invest in a professional wedding photographer.

Group Shots

Do you have advice for setting up group shots?

I know that family and group shots are important but I try to keep the shooting of these quite quick, guests have a short attention span at this time of a wedding and when al they want is to drink and have fun, group photos aren’t the most exiting thing for them.

A lot of the time, guests will try to escape, I will always start with a big group shot before everyone disappears, this will be followed by the brides family and then the grooms family and then friends.

Jenni & Andy | Mantara Centre Engagement Shoot - 13th May 2012

I made a wonderful trip to gorgeous Cotswolds to meet Jenni and Andy who are newly engaged, he proposed to her at 3 minutes to Christmas day. They are actually childhood sweethearts which is just adorable, they meet when they were just 15 and now are soon to be married.
