I've known Mike for a little while but met Gabi for the first time at Rowan and Faye's wedding a couple of months back.

The engagement shoot
We met up at Blaise Castle which you may of seen a couple of times on the blog here, here and here!
When couples ask to shoot there, it's music to my ears! It's on my backdoor step, and it's beautiful there!

We started the shoot in the typical way by having a chat and helping them to see that although I may look like a total hunk in my picture, I'm actually very approachable, as is my camera!

The actual pictures!
Enjoy them, leave a comment and more importantly look out for their wedding on here soon!

1 ) Snow, you can fall, but only at night
2 ) Clouds, you can go now (5-10 cirrus clouds can stay, scattered across the sky)
3 ) Sky, stay blue.
4 ) In the morning, Sun comes out and shines without melting the snow
5 ) Repeat step 1>4
6 ) Snow, you can stay on the ground and trees for 2-3 days (note: Snow should fall before kids break up from school to give them an extended holiday)
7 ) Temperature, remain at a steady 0 degrees to avoid ice making things annoying.
8 ) Snow, after staying for 2-3 days, you may now leave.
9 ) Repeat if required.
10 ) Summer.

So far in Bristol, pretty good!
Let's just hope it doesn't make things tricky for people.
Enjoy these pictures.
I was shooting around Blaise Castle Estate again as its only round the corner for me.


The ponds of course were totally frozen over.


Perhaps a little over sharpened, but I'm not looking for any awards here. This is just pure beauty don't you think?

I've realised today that I'm not really much of a landscape photographer which is fine by me as I've never claimed to be one.
I can appreciate a great scene when I see it, I just don't know how to capture it.
This is a wedding photography blog though, so just go easy on me, ok?

I don't know if this is sweet or creepy...?

So...yeh, this is a picture of me standing on a POND!!
This is the pond that we overlooked yesterday as seen on the 5th picture down here

Thanks for reading people!
I'd love to do a photoshoot in this snow, so if you're interested in an engagement shoot or a couples shoot, then contact me before the snow goes!

Thanks.

Jessica had a snow day, as did most of the country I presume, so we had a nice breakfast and walked up to Blaise Castle Estate.
You'll probably remember Paul and Cassie's Wedding ceremony was held there in the Museum?
It's a beautiful building inside and I'd love to shoot there again.
Shooting at a museum is pretty amazing, but it's in walking distance, that just makes things perfect!

It snowed here in Bristol around christmas time, but my mum was in hospital having two operations and ending up in ICU, not the most fun we, or she's had, so we didn't get to enjoy the snow!
I'm just glad that she's out now, and that things are getting back to normal.

I'd imagine there are hundreds of bloggers who have posted snow pictures. So I'll just copy them!

First get out there and build a snow man, then come back and check out these pictures!

Here's Jessica for those who don't know what she looks like.
Pretty isn't she?


I seem to always take pictures of Beech leaves when I'm out.
I think they're beautiful leaves. Such a warm fiery orange and they seem to take forever to fall off the trees.

So this is the actual Castle. We can see it from our house! Which is pretty cool!

Such an incredible view.


Thanks for reading.
