Steve & Georgina's Pre Wedding Shoot

I'm photographing Steve and Georgina's wedding in August. As part of their package I'm doing some engagement portraits for them. These photos can then be used on wedding stationary and the like.
The location was the Rollright stones near Chipping Norton. This is a place that they have fond memories of and they were quite keen to have the shoot there, an excellent choice.
Georgina had her fingers crossed that we would have some good weather. She certainly got that as we had very bright February morning sunshine.

The magic of Snow

Its amazing how different everything looks when it's covered in snow. There's a real magical feeling that you just can't beat. I always remember, and I'm sure it's the same for everyone, the days when I was a kid when we had heavy snowfalls. I remember about 10 of us all piled up on the upturned bonnet of a VW Beetle (complete with rusty jagged edges), charging down a hill at the quarry down the road. I'm sure the kids today will look back in twenty years time with similar memories and remember the year when it snowed for a couple of weeks.
One thing I noticed over the last few days that I taught was great, was the kids that were of school and the adults that were off work, they all came out to play for a few days. No X-boxes, no jobs to be done around the house, just lots of family quality time.
