Lucy + Adi's Thornbury Castle Engagement Shoot

It took a little organising to get a good date for Lucy and Adi's engagement shoot. Now I had something in mind (I think Lucy did too) and this time it didn't involve rainy weather, which can be tricky in the British autumn season. After a few emails we figured out a place that could work whatever the weather (but fingers crossed it would be lovely) and after a last minute change of weekend I can safely say I think we had the best day for it!

I met up with Lucy and Adi at Thornbury Castle near Bristol in South Gloucestershire, which has beautiful grounds but worst case scenario had a very lovely inside as well. The weather could not have been more beautiful if it tried. The light was, soft and golden and as I got closer to the castle everything started to get just a little misty. Perfect :)

Jen + Matt - Engagement Shoot

Wow, it has been a little while since I last posted, it's been a crazy few months I can tell you. I got married, I've got a new job, and we're in the process of getting our first house. Mental. I've had to do a lot of things recently that has made me feel more and more like the grown up I never thought I had in me....

This is the first of my update posts - and its a cracker to start with. Jen and Matt, and their exuberant little dog Geoff have nestled nicely in to my life after I met Jen and her mum at my current day job. I showed them a few of my photos we realised we already had more in common that we first thought......I had been the photographer at Jen's brother's wedding! (see it here). It wasn't too long after our first meeting that we shared a few emails and I headed down to Somerset on what turned out to be a perfect sunny early autumn day. Lush.

We had a little chat with Glen and I sharing some of the stories from our own wedding (if you fancy a peek have a gander here) and I must say, after the back and forth of email it was so nice to finally meet the important boys in Jen's life :) I'm so excited about their big day in March!

We then headed out to some fields with Geoff for a Sunday walk (and had cake and tea afterwards! Love a good bit of post stroll cake - Jen you spoiled us!!)

Here's a glimpse of that lovely Sunday to warm you up on this chilly Thursday... Ahhhh I can nearly feel the sun on my skin......
