IPhone proposal in Movie Theatre - AMAZING!

I have just been sent a link to a video posted on YouTube by "chadwildclay", and I think this is truly amazing!!

It took him 4 months to do this, and I had a lump in my throat watching it.

In my book this guy gets 110% for originality and creativity, and I think everybody should see it and pass it on, especially to guys that are thinking of proposing to their girlfriends ;-)

Let me know your thoughts!

{Engaged} Emma & Rob

At the beginning of this week I travelled down to Cliveden for another shoot, but this time it was for a Pre-Wedding Shoot.

Emma and Rob are getting married in 2 weeks time in Marlow, and due to a couple of complications, we had to wait until now to do the shoot.

We had a little sit down in The Orangery (café) while we discussed the final arrangements for the day. We even came up with a couple of extras, like a bottle of bubbly for the car, that got added to the details of the day. With the admin out of the way, it was time to do some photographs.

Emma was a little nervous to start with but after a lovely chat about what she likes and dislikes, and anything that makes her feel uncomfortable, we soon overcame the nerves and she visibly relaxed as the shoot went on. Now when the wedding day comes we've already got this shoot to refer back to and I'm sure you'll agree that they will be just fine on the day.

Here are a few of my favourites from the shoot...

{Married} Beriah & Darren - Fulham Palace, London

Last month (on my birthday) I had the pleasure to photograph Beriah and Darren's Wedding at Fulham Palace in London.

For those of you that can remember the competition I ran back in January (see here), Beriah and Darren were the winners.

I started off the day with Beriah getting ready at their flat in Putney. The girls were fantastic and they even had a bottle of "sparkly" and some yummy snacks on the go while they were getting ready. The overall feeling was very laid back and relaxed, which I loved, as there were hardly any nerves getting in the way ;-)

I left the girls to apply the final finishing touches, while I made my way to Fulham All Saints Church to go and meet Darren and the boys. The church was impressive and the ceremony very special, but the icing on the cake for me was the atmospheric Fulham Palace.

The couple walked from the church to the venue, through Bishops Park, which gave them some time alone, away from the crowd. We stopped a couple times on the way to take some photographs before rejoining everybody in the fabulous courtyard at the Palace.

The reception was truly wonderful and the food fantastic, and it was apparent that all the guests were enjoying the celebrations.

It was a beautiful setting and a lovely group of guests, and I felt honoured to have spent my birthday with them on such a special occasion.

Here are a few of my favourites from the day...
