Zoe and Leon - Waverley Abbey

After a slight unplanned detour due to road closures, (thank goodness for Tom Tom and a very helpful understanding wedding couple), we braved the sub zero temperatures and had some fun in the winter sun at Waverley Abbey.

Zoe and Leon are due to get married in August at Hunton Park in Hertfordshire but wanted to go somewhere different for their engagement shoot, so I thought that this was an ideal location.

Zoe and Leon happily ran around for me, up and down trees and sitting on cold stone ruins, our feet and hands were freezing.  Leon, very cleverly bought some tarpaulin for him and his lovely lady to sit on (how forward thinking was he), it came in very handy for one of the shots where I had to lie on the ground on a mole hill, so thanks for that Leon.

I think the shots below really depict Zoe and Leon's character and personality and I can't wait for the wedding.

Our Dog

I've been playing about with my camera today and thought i'd take some snaps of our mini daxie.  She was not impressed when I put the camera in front of her and even had the audacity to turn her back on me!
Looking quite cross, here is one of the photo's from the set. I think she was disgusted about the fact that it was too cold for me to take her for a walk and she had to endure a camera being shoved in front of her instead. Like most things in the house, they are all fed up with being photographed, this includes my husband, children and the cats!

Blooming marvellous!

I spent this afternoon at Lisa and Brads today. We took the opportunity to have some fun before Lisa's due date, which is actually tomorrow. I'm really excited to hear any news and can't wait to see and of course photograph the new baby. Watch this space....

Good luck Lisa and Brad, if he/she makes an appearance tonight. x

For now, here are the images from the shoot today.

Snowy Winter Wonderland

Well, a while ago I posted on my facebook that I wanted snow so we could go sledging...well snow it did and we've been sledging. My husband took this week as holiday from work and he is one of the biggest kids out there. In fact on Tuesday eve when the snow started coming down, he was so excited that he woke the kids just to tell them!
He then preceded to call a friend to go to the pub, just so he could go out in it. I think he's had his fill now after dragging our children, on a sledge to the slopes twice today.
It has been truly beautiful and the snow makes everything so magical.
I have attached some pictures from the adventures yesterday and today. Enjoy.
