After what feels like months of grey, cloudy and generally middle of the road weather, it looks like summer is finally here.
The warm, golden glow of summer evenings are becoming more frequent, and more predictable. The warmer evenings and late sunsets are my absolute favourite times of day to shoot. Luckily, although I have a 9-5 day job to keep me busy, it means these long, beautiful, warm summer evenings are all mine.
This golden summer light is perfect for beautiful natural light portraits, and I intend to make the most of the coming months to kick start my fashion and beauty portrait portfolio.
I have a busy few weeks of wedding photography lined up first though, so for the time being I’m doing location scouting. Just being able to explore the Gloucestershire countryside is enough for me. I can’t wait to return to these locations with some models and work on some beautiful portrait sessions!
Here’s to the start of summer. And my summer of portraits!

We had blue skies and sunshine in Gloucestershire on Saturday, which was great news, because I spent the afternoon with Natalie and Andy doing my very first engagement photo shoot!
A engagement portraiture photo session is a great chance to get the happy couple excited about their upcoming special day, as well as capture some fun, relaxed and beautiful portraits. It’s also a good way for them to get to know me a bit better and an idea of how I will be shooting their wedding day.
We spent an hour or so walking around the beautiful woodlands, chatting about the plans for the day and climbing trees. Then we continued up Crickly Hill, just outside Gloucester, which has great views across the Gloucestershire countryside. It was such a clear beautiful day; you could even see the reception venue of their upcoming wedding at the Park Hotel in Tewkesbury.
Here are some my favourites from the pre wedding photo shoot with Natalie and Andy!
