The work have really picked up Wow, it’s amazing. It have taken me a a few days to get this sneak peek up for you. I hope you like this photo of Liam & Sophie. I a working on the remaining images from the session at the moment and I can’t wait to share them with you.
I hope you have had a fabulous week with lots of fun and success. Mine have been very busy but extremely fun and productive. Which I love, keep busy and keep growing and learning. Enjoy this image and I will be back soon with the rest. x
Early last Saturday was the day for our engagement photo session, I had my alarm set for 6 am to leave the house by around 8 am latest, I know you guys probably are thinking why would she get up that early. That’s basically because I hate to stress in the morning and want to be able to get ready slowly with a good breakfast and a fresh coffee. If you want to impress me show up with a fresh coffee, hihi.
It was the day of Prince Philip’s funeral so we had to change our schedule a little, to make sure we would make it perfect. We met at Westminster bridge to start the session. The weather was perfect we had the blue sky with the good morning sun looking over the bridge and London eye. We started off with some simple poses and then went on dancing and twirling for a little. Which turned out amazing, what a beautiful couple Christa and Juan are.
They have lived in London for a few years now, Christa is from the USA and Juan is from Nicaragua, they have a connection that Christa’s mother is from Nicaragua too, which is fantastic. They meet up on a Friday for drinks and it quickly extended to a whole weekend and they haven’t looked back since that day. I can honestly understand why they really suit each other and we had lots of fun. Christ is a very funny girl with lots of character. Juan a little harder to get smiles from him but we managed to get a few.
Because they are leaving London to move to Nicaragua the session we planned the session after a few of London’s landmarks. Not Big Ben because of the renovation that makes it look so sad. We choose London Eye, a red telephone box, St James Park, Buckingham Palace, we accidentally passed one pub that their friend owns and we snapped a few photos there and at last at Albert bridge.
It was a really good day and I loved the time spent with them, I hope that I will keep in touch with them and get to see how their future is going.
They won because that they wanted a more different shoot due to leaving the country and I saw the opportunity to shoot the landmarks and make it a bit more touristy but fun. We had some good chats and a coffee on the journey and it was one of the best moments that weekend.
How would your engagement photo session look like? Where would it take place? Leave a comment below I would love to read and Psst... there is a new competition.
Having a photo session at the garden hill & pergola in Hampstead is magical and a great little secret garden. It has rich character and many little spaces for a perfect photo. Have you been there before? If you haven’t it’s a must-see. I had the pleasure to met Marcia and Kris who won the engagement competition that I had a little while ago. (There will be another competition coming up in early May so keep your eyes out for it.) We met up and my first comment after Hello was wow I love your dress, the colors of their outfits were on point, well done Marcia. She did a great job with that, it suited the location. Engagement photography sessions are so much fun and you should do one before your big day.
It was a cold morning with a cold wind, I am so pleased that they both were up for it and not backing down on the cold weather and went all-in with a thin dress and just a shirt for Kris. They did so well for being so cold and shivering a bit. We walked through the whole garden and took photos in different spaces to make it more interesting. I wish it would have flowered up a little bit more in the garden but you could tell that it was on the way. Hopefully next time I come it’s more green.
It’s not often I have morning photo sessions, not for an engagement session. We both are mothers so up early every day is nothing unusual so a morning session was easier for them. I love their story that she had a failed marriage and ended up as a single mother to her son. She was brave enough to throw herself into online dating and there he was Kris that took them both under his wings with no doubt and loves them truly. I adore it and it gives me such hope. After recently becoming a single mother of two myself their story made me cry up of happiness that there is hope and love out there. It’s not too late just because I have two children.
The difference between me and Marcia is that she has been brave with online dating and I haven’t been that brave yet. Oh well, one day. That’s the story that made them win the competition of a free engagement session.
I must also say that I could tell how in love they are, they couldn’t stop kissing, I didn’t even have to ask for it they just went for it over and over again. I loved it and the beauty of that they were so comfortable with each other and had some good laughs together was really beautiful to see. Can you see the love through the images? I hope you can. Give me a comment if you enjoyed these photos and if you want to be part of the next competition stay tuned on my Instagram.
The spring is in full swing so if you can’t wait until May then send me an email at info@veroj.com and grab a spot for an engagement session for as little as £95 including all the best photos. I hope to hear from you.
Let’s dance and give your future wife a swirl, it’s always fun with some dancing during a photo shoot, it can create some stunning photos.
A few days ago in the early morning was spent with Marcia and Kris. The cold wind but the blue sky and sun were out. We met up at The Garden Hill & Pergola for their engagement photo session that they won in my competition. Here is a sneak peek for you to enjoy.
P.S if you haven’t been to The Garden Hill & Pergola it’s a must.
I could write a whole book about Ffion & Colin, they are a strong couple with a lot of character and loaded with amazing and funny stories. We really clicked and had so much fun during our photo session and zoom calls, we could have been speaking for hours. It’s a great feeling to be clicking with your clients and feel like friends and connect more then just business.
They are a couple who laughs a lot and can joke about almost everything. It was so easy to shoot them due to that they are so close and in love that all they did was hug and chat and I only had to give a few simple instructions for their posing. They did a lot by themselves and I am very sure that their wedding photos will turn out stunning.
