Last week I was down in Bristol (my old stomping ground!) to catch up with a few friends and do a few SNAP & CHAT sessions, firstly with Freya & Justin! I hadn't met these guys before as they booked while I was away in Cambodia (we had a great 3am Skype call and I was so excited I couldn't get back to sleep after!) and I was really looking forward to it as me and Freya have been chatting so much by email.

These guys live right by Victoria Park so we took advantage of the scorching hot day, the plentiful grass areas and the beautiful view of the city and took some photographs near where they live. They were keen to bring their bikes to help ease themselves a bit in front of the camera, which of course I was more than happy about. I love their names are on them too!
Read MoreJenny & Andy booked while I was away on my travels in Thailand meaning we'd only had a relatively short phone call before they booked. I always like to get to know my couples a bit before the wedding day and meeting up and having a chat and a few photos is always a really good way to get a feel for the day and their plans.
Their wedding venue is Primrose Hill Farm which is an absolutely stunning house set in the countryside of Oxfordshire / Warwickshire and the interior looks like its just stepped off the pages of Country Living. The barn where the wedding reception is going to take place has folding glass doors that look out over the countryside and means it's just full of light (photographer's dream!)

Read MoreAh first wedding of the year! Always get the nerves twice as bad after a long break off from weddings, but also always feel SO rested and ready. I've been busy with engagement shoot and family sessions so it's not like the camera was gathering dust but there's always the fear that you have just totally forgotten how to do your job.
Read MoreI got to visit one of my favourite childhood places with these guys, Bury Ditches Hill Fort! Right by where I used to live and right by their wedding venue Walcot Hall. They were brilliant sports and didn't mind me dragging round the hill, and then very nearly getting lost but saved thanks to some passing walkers!
