Tis' the season, to get engaged.

Well folks this will be my last post before Christmas so first of all I would love to wish a very Merry Christmas to you and your family! As I'm sure you know, December is the month with the highest amount of engagements. Even just this morning I had that little notification come up on the side of facebook saying (one of my friends from when I did Contiki 4 years ago) got engaged to (Man who proves my point about December). 

I thought therefore my next roundup blog for 2012 had to be engagements! I've had the opportunity this year to photograph five lovely engaged couples across the county and I hope now that I know I will be living in the one place (London, On) for a few years I will be able to book more weddings and engagements so I can share these lovely experiences with couples like this! As a special congratulations to all couples engaged in December and would like to do a shoot in London, Contact me and you will get 50% off the regular price of an engagement shoot!

Swallow and Twig nautical shoot

You may remember the name Swallow and Twig from my last shoot with the Halifax artist and Jewellery designer which was shot in the Public Gardens just over a year ago. That shoot was heavily inspired by the jewellery, which included some designs which reminded me of the movie UP! Similarly this shoot was heavily inspired by the jewellery, this time mainly consisting of nautical themed pieces from her Nautical 2012 series,  including- Aquatic, Sailor Jerry and Marina. We headed to my favourite harbour-side location in the eastern passage at Fishermans Cove at sunset and then when we lost light I finished up a few of the pieces the next day picking berries. If you're thinking about starting Christmas shopping (It's my birthday tomorrow so that means it is 8 weeks until Christmas) I'd highly recommend getting in early and making an order with Mary to custom make you a piece of her wearable art. 

Big thankyou to my models Zach, Aiden, Steph, Laura and Cameron. 

Models Brianna and Robynn for Atlantic Art Couture

 This summer I was lucky enough to be asked again by east coast Jewellery designer Jessie of Atlantic Art Couture to photograph her new line of jewellery which I got a strong woodland feel from. I adore all things with antlers and also a good walk in the woods so I knew that we could put our heads together and come up with a great idea for a shoot! I got together with the beautiful Brianna and Robynn and went for a walk through Point Pleasant Park in Halifax and had fun shooting with a cool vintage typewriter I picked up, vintage camera I was given, with some cars that just happened to be there and of course the gorgeous jewellery!

How could we just walk past this car! The owner was even so accommodating as to move it to a different space in the car park so that we had a better backdrop!

I had to have this terrarium ring with the Effiel tower in it and on my trip last month took a couple of shots with it from the top of the tower and with the real tower itself!
