It was a cloudy winter day when I met up with Vicky and Daniel in Brighton for their engagement shoot. We decided Preston Park and it's rock garden were great locations to visit a variety of intimate settings within a relatively short space of time.
I wanted to capture the excitement on the couple's faces and the closeness of their commitment to each other. It wasn't difficult for the smiles to stay as they recalled Daniel's nerves and ‘strange behaviour’ before proposing.
I was able to take a collection of wide angle and close up shots to capture the couple in the peaceful atmosphere of the gardens where they felt comfortable away from the busy crowds of the city. Working with layers of distant trees and close up foliage I was able to use the natural beauty of the location as a frame around them. Using the soft light through the trees gave a warm tone to the images and feeling of the fresh winter air.
The shoot was fun for us all and Vicky and Daniel were delighted with the results “They are so lovely, we will really treasure them”.
