Chiara and David: Engagement

November 26, 2010

 

Chiara and David are So Much Fun.  Seriously, with capital letters. They are getting married at Shepstone Gardens next month, and they wanted a funky, brightly-coloured location for their engagement shoot as a contrast to Shepstone’s secret garden feel. So we hit up Newtown and went crazy. At the end we went to the Mandela Bridge, and the light was just AMAZING, with the most fantastically wicked thunderclouds over town. I went crazy for it. Luckily David and Chiara are pretty crazy themselves (in the best way), and they thought it was awesome too. I had a blast with you guys; can’t wait for your wedding next weekend!

We went to a nearby street, where a bunch of guys were practising their skateboarding.

Loved this!

And then on to the Mandela Bridge. The sun was shining happily on the right of the picture, which is why they’re so lit up in front of the black clouds. I died of awesome overload.

Fresh, Fun and Natural Wedding Photography in London and the United Kingdom by Kat Forsyth Wedding Photographer. I love weddings and anything to do with them, and you're just as likely to hear me squeal in delight when you show me your dress, as you are to see me cry when you say your vows. Yes, it happens. To me, weddings are about two things: love and fun. So these are the two things I try to capture in all my photos! My approach to your wedding day is to capture natural moments as they unfold throughout the day, with a little more direction thrown in for some gorgeous and fun portraits and couple photos. I love beautiful scenery, old walls, broken-down buildings, fields, fun props, and couples who bring their unique personalities to the shoot. I love couples who are excited about their photos and want to have some fun in them! And details...oooh, details. They make my heart sing. So if you have different decor on each of your sixteen tables, you'll find me happily snapping away at ALL of them! I've been a wedding photographer since 2009. I fell into it right after I got married, and I adore it. I'm from Johannesburg, and have shot weddings all over South Africa. Now I'm off on my next big adventure, which is taking over the UK! I'll be arriving in early March 2012, and I'm so unbelievably excited about the theatre, shopping and meeting all my awesome UK wedding-industry friends! I'll be based in North London but I'm happy to travel anywhere for a wedding.
