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!

I've just finished editing Mark and Laura's pictures from Monday.
I usually would of finished editing a shoot of that size within a couple of hours, but after allot of recommendations, I decided to download the trial of Lightroom2, I always knew that this would slow my workflow down because there are more features, most of which I'm addicted to using already.
When I first started using Lightroom1, I would often over edit my pictures, so hopefully, if I am over editing my pictures with LR2, I'll calm down soon and carry on with my usual editing style.

This shoot was quite tricky to edit in my opinion actually. I usually find it quite easy, but something was slowing me down and I couldn't make up my mind about how I would process certain images.

Anyway we started shooting around Blaise Estate, Bristol, which is beautiful and only walking distance from our home.

As the light started to go, and the rain came in we went to Park Street, Bristol to use the wet roads and car lights and bright shop windows to our advantage.
Next time I shoot on Park Street, I'll bring an assistant with me as I could of done with some off camera lighting.

This Saturday I was supposed to cover an event but that has fallen through unfortunately. If you fancy a shoot this very Saturday (7th March) then drop me a line!

Enjoy the pictures!
