Engagement Shoot with Campbell Photography

Through this blog (yippee!) I had a really lovely message from the even lovelier Kristi Nicole Campbell offering me an engagement photoshoot. This is something done more often (again) in America than here but here's a few reasons it is really a lovely idea and very useful. For starters it is an informal way for you and your fiancée to get more comfortable posing, kissing (ooh) and canoodling in front of the camera (kinda hard to pretend they're not there ) & it is also a way of recording this lovely, exciting period of anticipation before the big day. Like everything it will be over before you know it. So, Kristi proposed the idea and I said yes of course, especially when she sent me a link to her previous work on flickr . Kristi & her husband Neal make up Campbell Photography and together they are both a wonderful couple (who met on flickr admiring each others work...very sweet) and a dream team for wedding photography. They shoot on film and digital and the quality of the film photos they take is just beautiful, shooting on an old vintage american camera. I think I need a whole separate post on how the shoot was organised and how it worked but below is just a little taster of the moodboard of my own initial thoughts for the shoot and the quite surprisingly gorgeous results! If they can do this for two hung-over people...what could they do for your wedding photographs!! x (Just a preview...more to come)
