Last Saturday I had the wonderful job of capturing this awesome couples engagement shoot. They travelled all the way from Hampshire to spend a few hours with me. It was a mother woodland adventure and another freezing day but so worth it. They brought along their gorgeous daughter Ava who is 7 months and I had my little assistant in the shape of  my 11 year old son. Ava adored Indie and was full of cute smiles for him. After our exploration in the woods we decided to drive to my mother in law to be which was only round the corner to finish up the shoot with some different shots, whilst little lady sat indoors with her Nanny by the fire. These two were awesome and their DIY wedding sounds amazing with a hint of harry potter as a theme - I get to go to Hampshire to capture it. I love their story of how they met at Reading festival!! 

Their images consist of some classic and alternative styles and I really adore the mixture. I did a bit of experimenting using a technique I have learned via Sam Hurd - an american photographer called prisming using a prism in front of the lens I love the double exposure style effect its has without being a double exposure.

It was a cold and drizzly day where we had a combination of rain to brilliant sunshine. But we didn't let the weather get in the way. Vikki looked absolutely stunning showcasing her hair and make up trial done by the fabulous  Marina. We chose Clowes woods in Canterbury as the location for the shoot, it was a perfect setting and wonderful walk - I did fall over because I am clumsy wally all in the name of art! Matt and Vikki were up for anything and even though Vikki was in heels she happily went off track and went exploring in the woods for some cool locations. Matt got right into the shoot and was giving me all his best poses. All I can say is these guys rocked and were uber cool. Here is a sneak peek from their engagement shoot - lots of lovely warm tones in this collection. I love it!
