After a long day of rain, we wanted to create something for the couple, there was no sunset just more rain. We exposed the ambient warm light of the building to make a nice backdrop. We then took a few test shots with a back flash and invited the couple into the scene.

Captured at a local beach this couple wanted to go for a walk, the weather was against us but the sky was dramatic enough to take a step back and capture in all its glory.

Captured on a hilltop in Windermere, this little section of Wast Water was the perfect setting for this moment. Taken from a distance with loads of natural foreground light the couple became a natural silhouette. At the moment the wind caught the vale and the moment went from great to epic.

A country Tepee wedding that finished with some sunset couple shots. The last scene was slowly driving through a shallow stream as the couple smiled and kissed on the back of the truck. All natural light and great fun!

A beautiful moment when the groom picked up the boho bride the long grass and span her round for fun just at sunset. All day this couple had been great fun and were genuinely loving every moment.

Ahead of the big day we took the couple to Beatson Castle, walking the walls with a drop on the other side this brave couple lead each other across as the sunset in the distance making a moody sky.

This engagement shoot was captured in the peak district, using a waterproof camera. On a bright day the couple were asked to embrace on a small outcropping in the distance forming a perfect silhouette.

Captured at the end of an adventure shoot as the sun set on the edge of a cliff. This was a shot we built up to after all the fun stuff and it turned into a great trust exercise for the couple too!

This image was a fast abstract capture, the shutter has been dragged as the bride’s vale was waving in the wind. This caused some fun optical illusions, catching the light and softening the vale as it moved. This was snapped outside the church as the bride arrived.

This was a unique elopement moment, it’s not every day we catch a couple walking through such an epic scene at sunset, so it made sense to turn this film moment into stunning still. This story was all about saying yes when the world said no, it truly was beautiful.
