Strawberries & Squirrels
The wedding season is well and truly underway and I am getting excited about the different weddings I have booked in this year. On Friday I met up with Kate and Simon who are getting married in a few weeks time. We had met out at their wedding venue a while ago but due to horrendous weather we postponed their pre-wedding shoot. They wanted to have photos taken in Sheffield’s Botanical Gardens which is one of my favourite places so I jumped at the chance.
We had a wonderful time after work on Friday. We had a lovely walk around the gardens and got photos in the bear pit, by the Japanese gardens and even made friends with one of the squirrels. I took along some strawberries for them to have during the shoot. Simon isn’t a fan of the wonderful red berry but for the sake of the photos he humoured me by eating one and then trying to feed another to the squirrel! It was great to spend more time with them and learn more about their engagement story. Kate actually proposed to Simon on the 29th February 2008. Simon made Kate wait for 20 long minutes before he got down on one knee, took her grandmother’s engagement ring and asked, “I’ll marry you, will you marry me?” They are such a lovely couple, loads of fun and have some great ideas for photos on their special day. I am now really excited about capturing all their wonderful memories on Saturday 8th May.
Here are some of the photos from our shoot.
