They looked nervous, there was no denying it…perhaps it was the fact that the balmy beach weather we’d prepared ourselves for had disappeared and had left in it’s place a distinct chill? Or perhaps it was the sight of me in my wellington boots? Either way, Rachel and John looked ever so slightly unsure of what was ahead of them. Fortunately, 5 minutes later, John appeared entirely at home leaning against a beach hut and Rachel was giggling away in his arms!
From the moment we met up, in March of last year, and them telling me that they were envisaging something ‘different’ for their big day (I quote, a ‘rustic-shabby chic-geeky-steam punk-modern-vintage’ sort of a day) I knew I had to be involved. Ok, so I had to go away and Google ‘steam punk’ as I had no clue about that but the rest of it sounded entirely up my street!
A couple of weeks ago we headed out to Calshot, one of their favourite hang-outs, to capture a few images of them spending time together on the beach. Not only did they give everything I suggested a whirl but they threw in some cute stuff of their own and froze their feet in the icy water. Summed up? They were superstars!
With only a month or so to go now until their big day, I’m so excited to see how all their plans come together! Here are a few images from their session. Enjoy!
