I was planning on blogging a wedding today (a gorgeous one!) – but thought I’d go for something a bit different… Here’s Charlie & James’ Engagement Session from this weekend, Sometimes my job really doesn’t feel like a job at all… this sessions a perfect example of this!! – Thanks for an awesome day guys, tasty lunch (Tapas=mmmmm!), a delicious dinner! (steak! yay!) & hopefully – some gorgeous photographs!
Essentially, we wandered around Brighton, avoiding the rain (yes, contrary to popluar belief, I can cope with less than so.cal weather!!), looking for cool locations & finding the pretty light…
I’ve been looking for a cool overhead vantage point for a while now – found a car park… perfect! – nothing screams romance more than a grimy little car park!
they told me beforehand, that they didn’t have many pictures of them kissing & wanted some – happy to oblige!
I’ll admit… I did come close to getting run over a few times during this session….
Love a good bit of graffiti! The light was pretty nice too!
Most of the session the weather was overcast & grey, which makes for nice consistent light – but I was itching to get a little bit of flare going on, so when the sun broke through, for all of 15 seconds… we had it!
After wandering the Lanes & the old fruit market (the one near the Art college!), we headed down to the beach -
Tried something I’ve wanted to do for a while in these last two… but sometimes I wander how much of the frame needs to be filled with ‘the subject’, before it stops being a photograph of them… & starts being a picture of the sky…
Love the quirky angles at the start of the shoot and with that big blue sky. The graffiti shots are beautifully captured and eye-popping. Looking forward to seeing their wedding it’s obvious you all had fun shooting together.
Commensurate composition throughout. I can breathe that space. It’s highly refreshing.
Awesome work Mr F. Those last two sky photos, oops, I mean photos of Charlie & James, rock!
extremely cool, that last one needs printing on a 40″ canvas!
