Romantic and beautiful portrait of couple in love shot through palm leavesLast week found me travelling down to Kensington in London to meet up with the lovely Zena and James for their pre-wedding shoot. Travelling and seeing new places is an aspect of the ‘job’ that I really enjoy and I love the hustle and bustle of London just as much as the tranquility of the more remote locations that I’m fortunate enough to visit and photograph. The novelty of whizzing about on the London underground hasn’t worn off yet, even after several trips!!!

Unfortunately being peak wedding season I couldn’t hang around to enjoy London after the shoot – in fact I barely had time to grab a sandwich before catching my train home, but that didn’t make it any less enjoyable. The most rewarding part of being a wedding photographer is definitely the people I get to meet, hang out with (and spend one of the best days of their life with!) and Zena and James were just awesome! Having shot their wedding this weekend at the absolutely incredible Castle Howard in York I can safely say that they know how to throw a good wedding too!! All I can say about it is …wow! …just wow! I’m literally lost for words!

And on that note, it’s time to stop talking and show some photographs! So here are a few frames from the pre-wed shoot…
