I don't feature a whole load of engagement or couple shoots on the blog, preferring to share all the incredible real weddings I get sent instead. However sometimes, just sometimes, a session stands out so much that I'd be mad not to share it. Remember the bunny suit session I featured recently? Or the awesome wolf-head shoot?

You see them everywhere and they've kind of been done to death huh? ...and really, let's be honest, what does a shoot like that really tell us about the couple as individuals? Diddly-squat that's what. Anyway mini-rant over (!)

We know it's hard to look at other people's wedding photographs and not get influenced by them, but we really wanted to take things as far away from all of that and really go outside the box. We wanted to show that we can make a joke, be ironic, and still be artistic."Read more...
