Windsor Engagement Photography - Brian & Eva
A summer evening in Windsor for Brian & Eva's engagement shoot ahead of their destination wedding in Slovakia
One of favourite things about being a wedding photographer is you get to hear so many great stories of love – of how the couple met, their courtship, the proposal, and the places and people that are a part of their life. Some stories are inspiring, others highly amusing. There are a few emotional roller coasters as well as some downright romantic tales too.
Weaving elements of these stories into an engagement or pre-wedding shoot creates an added dimension helping to create a set of truly memorable and context-laden photographs.
In a month’s time I’ll be heading out to Slovakia to shoot the wedding of Brian & Eva in the beautiful city of Košice. Setting the pre-wedding shoot in Windsor & Eton, their home town, was an obvious starting point and an easy sell. When you think of the words “Windsor Engagement Photography”, it doesn’t take long to put together a pretty impressive list of backdrops. But when they told me about how salsa dancing had played such a large role in their getting together, my mind started whirring with possibilities. Little would I know that in the fading light, in full view of Windsor Castle’s counter-terrorism police and a rather large security dog, my couple would duly oblige…
The whole evening was great fun – from a pre-shoot glass of wine on the banks of the River Thames to the impromptu mass bike ride past Windsor Castle that provided a unique backdrop for some image making.
Roll on Slovakia!
