Alex & Matt picked to have their engagement shoot in their local area of Richmond in London and we walked the same route they took on their first date together - so romantic! We met for a coffee first to catch up about their upcoming wedding plans (they're getting married at Upper Court in Kemerton, Tewkesbury in July) and meet face to face for the first time. These guys booked while I was away travelling in Thailand over the summer so our first Skype was at 4am my time, 7pm their time which was quite funny, me nursing a coffee and Matt a large glass of red wine!

Although I'm Shropshire based and love shooting in the countryside for the most part, I also jump at the chance to photograph a wedding in the big city. It's always so different to what I'm used to - much more pressure, much more travelling and usually so many more people!
