It was cold. Oh, and wet.
But, as always, nothing should get in the way of a good photo. At least, that’s what we were hoping when we arrived and stepped out into a cold, blustery, drizzley and gloomy December’s Saturday morning in Thame. There’s nothing quite like assembling one of our large reflectors – a 6′ x 4′ frame that could work equally well as a small sail – in the wind but Kelly (our assistant) is an absolute pro and (so far at least) has never failed – or been blown away!
To be fair, it’s more about our clients than it is about us and, to this end, the Garratts were really easy to photograph and didn’t mind (or at least, didn’t say they minded) being out in the open on such a harsh wintery day! We photographed all of this in Thame down beside St Mary’s Church. This is a beautiful spot to work and provides a real mix of settings and backdrops, particularly along the disused road and bridge. That coupled with a really nice (and notably hardy!!) client and we have some beautiful images.
I don’t know why, but this session really lends itself to black & white – maybe I was picturing everything in my head for those really beautiful wintery shots or maybe the December light simply created those beautiful tones that a monochromatic picture accentuates. Either way, I particularly love the black & white shots we’ve captured. Beautiful. 
Let us know what you think
Take care
Cheers
