Jessie & Brad's Beachy Pre-Wedding Session

I laughed out loud when Jessie and Brad sent over their ‘more about them’ information. In particular, I couldn’t help but smile at the thought that, for three weeks, they sat back to back whilst Jessie thought to herself ‘Hmm…he’s pretty good looking’….meanwhile, Brad was more likely to be contemplating the surf conditions! I gather he’s pretty surf obsessed…I mean, what girl isn’t going to fall for a good looking guy with a great sense of humour and talent on a surfboard!?

I asked Brad what his firsts thoughts were about Jessie: My first thought was that she was a Mute. I barely heard her say a single word the whole first week she was in the office! Then, one day, I walked past her and thought, Wow! Where did she come from? I must have been too wrapped up in my work until then because, when I finally saw her, I was blown away! How had I managed to avoid noticing this amazingly beautiful girl in the office until now?

Apparently their relationship progressed from Brad getting Jessie to laminate endless sheets of paper for him, Jessie getting stuck in a bike box (!?!) and the Ironman Asia Pacific after party. It would seem that, after getting every possible, freebie, item of clothing from the Ironman expo, Jessie got the ultimate accessory…a (surf!) Ironman. I feel like I want to break into a round of applause or something. 🙂

Having met, worked and lived together in Australia, these guys are marrying in Micheldever, Hampshire and will be celebrating with friends and family at, the beautiful, Priory at Wherwell. I’m ridiculously excited to be a part of it and can honestly say that it’s just as well Brad opened his eyes and noticed Jessie that day or else I wouldn’t be just a week away from photographing their big day.
