Stone and steel {Dave & Anja}

Dave & Anja know this part of London well; they love the architecture and the juxtaposition between buildings very old and very new. Jake and I spent an inspiring bank holiday afternoon with Dave & Anja for their London engagement shoot, exploring the deserted streets. Anja’s interests lie in the history of the place, while...

Perfect trees {Matt & Melani}

Summer sun {Claudia & Benj}

Claudia & Benj are two of those sorts of people that give you energy when you are with them. So I was so glad that the sun snuck out on this glorious Sunday afternoon for their Oxford engagement shoot. We spent our time amongst the trees of the University Parks, and on the wide open...

Woodland Walk {Jack & Celine}

Jack & Celine have often cycled around and around Richmond Park. The last time Jack had been cycling around was the Bank Holiday weekend and the main route was overflowing with roller bladers and cyclists of every sort, so he took a diversion in to the middle of the park and stumbled across a quiet...
