This shoot was something really different for me. I’m shooting Tom & Sarah’s wedding in a couple of weeks time and like a lot of couples, they were a bit nervous about the pictures of just the two of them. Sarah told me that they didn’t have any good pictures of them as a couple and they normally just froze in front of the camera. We decided to do an engagement shoot to help them relax.
Sarah and Tom didn’t want anything ‘run-of-the-mill’ instead they wanted something completely different and as Sarah is a big Twilight fan, what could be more appropriate on the opening weekend of “Eclipse”, than a Twilight inspired engagement session? I was thrilled that they loved the idea and didn’t think I’d lost my mind!
It was so much fun doing something unconventional and by the end of the shoot, any nerves they may have had seemed to disappear and I think they really enjoyed it.
I can’t wait to shoot their wedding – if the engagement shoot is any indication of things to come – I’m in for a treat!
This shot involved me climbing a tree, anyone who knows me, knows this is not the type of activity I’d normally be at home with. It didn’t help that I was wearing a long white skirt, not the type of clothing suited to climbing trees. I still have the bruised knees and green stains to show for it. Well worth it though – you can’t have a Twilight e-session and not try and do the shot from above!
Feel free to make some comments below! Are Tom & Sarah the new Bella & Edward?
