I’m a bit behind with my blogging and so it was a couple of weeks ago that I had the most amazing afternoon with Anthea and Hector, walking around Cambridge shooting their engagement pictures.   

We’d had to postpone the shoot the week before because of all the snow, and as Hector is working overseas in Japan we had to get them in before he flew back. With all their wedding planning commitments it meant that we had to play in the rain, but that didn’t stop the fun.  It’s likely Hector won’t be working in the area again for sometime, so it was important to them that we captured Cambridge in the images as it’s where they met and holds lots of special memories.

These two are so in Love it makes me smile from inside out and then some. They were up for whatever I suggested and that meant lots of laughter and great images.

Rather than post 100′s of images, because I just can’t choose today, which would keep you scrolling down for ever, I am trying out some new formats so that I can show you lots of the fun we had, in shorter posts, let me know what you think and leave a comment.

First off, we had a little romance, Romeo and Juliet style, to set the tone of the day. Of course as it’s Cambridge we didn’t have to wait long to get a cyclist in it either. Well it wouldn’t be Cambridge without one!

 

 

This blocked up old window in the wall of Kings College made a lovely seat to shelter from the rain.

 

 

Anthea is great fun to work with as she’s not afraid to give it some attitude, and I get the feeling from this photo that Hector has seen it all before, so it doesn’t wash anymore!

 

 

We made sure that we included plenty of the stunning architecture of Cambridge, so that they would have a real record of this stunning city.

 

 

I just fell in love with the patterns and shades of the wall in this archway. As as it was dry, we able to get coats off and capture the stunning purples against that beautiful old wall.

These are my favourites from the day!

 

 

And finally, Anthea had fun giving some attitude against a nice wrought iron gate, and whilst I think Anthea is fierce in hers, Hector had me in stitches when he asked for a go at looking that good, see for yourselves.

 

 

Anthea and Hector, thank you for a great afternoon in the rain, I can’t wait for your wedding in January 2011.
