As I look back on early 2020, it’s so bizarre remembering these shoots as we went along as normal before the world changed forever in March when the lockdowns started. One of these was Eilis and Tom’s engagement shoot, which took place in late February.
They suggested a cosy riverside pub in Leighton Buzzard which proved the perfect spot to capture their excitement and get to know them before their wedding later that year.
I’m never one to insist on engagement shoots but they really are a wonderful way to learn all about a couple and their story so far that has led to this exciting chapter of their lives. It was clear these two are just perfect for each other and it was lovely to hang out and share in the excitement and anticipation of their big day. Despite the typical British cloudy weather, we made the most of it (us photographers love overcast days!) and grabbed some lovely shots as we walked along the river.
Just as our shoot was finishing up a spot of rain caught us off guard, but as a blessing in disguise it rewarded us with these last dramatic shots with the two of them sat in the cosy pub window light - perfect for capturing a shot of Eilis’s gorgeous engagement ring.
“Thank you so much! After COVID cancelled our honeymoon we have both been feeling a bit deflated and the photos have cheered both of us up! They are exactly the kind of style we wanted and knew we would get from you, so thank you for your hard work!”
