I dooooo like a good party. Particularly when it’s a group of people I know and like being with – and this is one of those groups of people. Just lovely.
This was Catharine and Jon’s engagement celebration (with just a hint of Catharine’s birthday thrown in for good measure) with their family and it was an absolute ball!
Jon proposed to Catharine in Italy, on bended knee and with an applauding (or, more probably, a-whooping-and-a-hollering) American audience by all accounts. Romantic fool. Puts the rest of us to shame.
Still, I do love the small role that we play in all this – capturing timeless images of families, kids and couples that leaves a wonderful legacy to stay with people for a great many years. At least, that’s my view. Admittedly, I may be just a little biased!
It’s always fun shooting a family gathering as we can get some really nice images out of it without necessarily having to stage the setting in any way. Though, of course, some of these photos are clearly a little more posed than others, they’re still really chilled and natural. And, these types of shots make really beautiful small coffee-table books to relive those moments over and over (or possibly bore your friends with over and over!)
On top of all that, everyone made me feel unbelievably welcome and Catharine’s mum played a wide and varied selection of music from the er… 80’s. Now THAT’s What I Call A Shoot!
Cheers
