A Wedding Proposal

It’s shoots like this one that really make me love my job. I feel incredibly privileged that I get to witness seminal moments in people’s lives . That they ask me to document it is just fantastic.

When Rav contacted me back in January I was blown away by how much thought he had put into making sure his wedding proposal to his girlfriend, Jas, was a complete surprise. He had whisked her away form London for a romantic weekend in the pretty Cotswold town of Stow-on-the-Wold and had booked them onto a creative coffee making course. I was in on it from the start. She had been told a photographer would be coming along to take some marketing shots, (she’d even signed a waiver!) On my arrival, I had to pretend that I’d never met or spoken to Rav before, which I found slightly awkward! Little did she know that half way through the session he would present her with a cup of coffee with a wedding proposal inscribed in the top! It would be fair to say she was more than a little surprised!! After she’d recomposed herself we went for a short walk around the town to take some shots of the newly engaged couple. So much fun!

Wedding Celebration

Andrea and Josh were recently married and booked me to cover both their wedding and after party. The wedding itself was a small, very private affair. Just a handful of close family members had travelled to the Cotswolds to spend the special day with the happy couple.

The party was held a few weeks later in London, where they live, and was a rather more lively event. Prior to their arrival at the venue, I joined them at St Pancreas for some intimate shots. Apparently, the staircase in the pictures below is the one that featured in the Spice Girl’s video for Wannabe! We then made our way out into the train station before jumping in a taxi over to Angel.

The venue was an old scrap metal yard and was fabulously decked out. It came complete with an old tube train that had been converted into a bar. After some mingling, there were a few speeches followed by an informal buffet. Here are some of the highlights.

Will You Marry me?

This was my second shoot photographing a marriage proposal and it was even more unusual than my first! This time I hadn't even met my client, so relied on a basic description of what he would be wearing with a bit of last minute frenzied texting to make sure I was in the right position and on the right bridge, and there are a lot of bridges in Bourton-on-the-Water!! Thankfully it all came together in the end and the best part is...she said YES!!
