I see a lot of engagements, excited couples planning their weddings and then I get to share it with them when I take their photos. Every couple is different and so my job is always fresh and exciting. I love hearing news of couples who have decided to get married but I have to say it is that extra special when it’s your sister! My sister, Fiona, and her boyfriend Bill got engaged just before Christmas and we are now really looking forward to a family wedding at the end of this year.
Bill proposed to Fiona on their 3rd anniversary. We were all hoping it would happen so it was great when I got a text saying:
“He did it! Got down on one knee in a cell at the courthouse hotel. I have a ring on my left hand. You’re the first to know (as promised in Notting Hill). Yay x x”
They got engaged at the place where they went on their first date which I think is so romantic! Bill had planned it properly and had even bought the ring ready to propose. Now this is something which I thought could be very risky! My sister and I had always said we’d like an antique ring if we got engaged and it’s the kind of thing where we would need to be there to choose. However Bill chose the ring for Fiona, with the help of a friend who’s mum is in the antique jewellry business, and Fiona absolutely LOVES it! Lots of brownie points for him from her as well as the rest of us!
Bill is already part of the family but it’s great that we’ll be celebrating their wedding later this year. I took a couple of photos of them when we spent time together at Christmas so thought I would share this with you. I am looking forward to swapping my camera for a bridesmaid dress for this wedding, although I think I may have to take a few shots…..it’s what I love to do at a wedding after all!

Fiona & Bill
Happy
Proud Dad.
Engaged & Happy
