Claire and Dave are planning a really special day in June, and it was great to catch up with them for their pre wedding shoot the other week.
Yet again we were lucky with the weather and had some glorious sunshine as we explored the areas of Ely they love. First we started off on a walk around the lake where they used to walk when they first met and then we moved in to Ely for some shots around the Cathedral.
It was great to catch up and lunch was fabulous, can’t wait for the big day!
Here’s a quick peek at a few of their images:

I have been so busy recently that I have neglected my blog a little, well more than a little! But there is so much going on at the moment that there will be lots to come in the next couple of weeks, including several weddings so keep your eyes peeled.
I was so thrilled to wake up to sunshine on Saturday, as I was off to shoot Sam and Rico’s Pre-wedding shoot and have our final meeting before their wedding in two weeks.
Sam and Rico are getting married at Hinchingbrooke House, which is a beautiful venue near Huntingdon. It was lovely to hear all their plans and how it’s all come together and I can’t wait for the big day it’s self now.
We decided to have a relaxed feel around the grounds for the pre wedding shoot and save the big venue images for the day it’s self. We have so great ideas and really fabulous locations, and are now all praying for a repeat of the sunshine, so everyone keep your fingers crossed! Rico has planned several surprises for Sam including the wedding car and honeymoon, and I too have to wait to find out, so I know it’s going to be a very special day.
Here they are, all excited, happy and totally in love with each other.

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.

A couple of weeks ago I met up with Julie and Robert at the Stunning Gaynes Park wedding venue for their engagement shoot.
Julie and Robert are getting married at Gaynes Park at the end of September and this was a great chance for us to explore this lovely intimate venue and for me to catch up with them both on all the details for their day. I never tire of hearing all about everyone’s plans for their big day, it’s always exciting and new as each couple have their own ideas for making it a special day.
The gardens at the venue are in full bloom and the sun was high in the sky, I can’t wait to shoot their wedding here, so without further ado here are a few images from the session:

Last Thursday I spent the afternoon, down by the river in St Neots, with Pat and Neil.
Pat and Neil are both music teachers and are planning a small intimate wedding in August. Neil’s dad is the pastor at the church where they are getting married and he’ll be officiating the ceremony that day, so it’s going to be a really special ceremony.
Pat gave me free reign to be creative with the her photos, and present her with something different. Here are some of my favourites:
