From time to time I get asked by other photographers if I fancy taking some photos of them, whether for their web / online profiles, for fun, for their wedding or, in this instance, to celebrate a milestone in their lives.
Sara turned the dreaded 40 late last year and wanted some record of that. She wasn’t particularly enamoured by her own wedding photos and didn’t feel that she had any really nice photos of her and hubby, Craig. So, game on. Whilst I was already in London for the workshop it made sense to get them down there for a shoot in and around the sights. I have a little route I like to take, as there are so many lovely spots in that area … we started off at St Pauls, moving on across the millenium bridge, stopping for lunch and then back to St Pauls when the sun came out ! I was able to take in some lovely flare, I miss that !
We had some fun with props I brought along, including a little chalk board where I asked them to write messages to each other (they didn’t know what they had written til they saw their photos, awwwww) and my Rolleicord TLR, fitting as I was shooting a fellow photographer.
And so, a few from the shoot … check out that 40’s styling with matching hair and shoes !! Gorgeous !

Brilliant photos Gill. Love your post processing across all your images.
Is that becoming your signature shot on the Millenium Bridge? You seem to absolutely nail it every time! 😀
Thanks Chris … I love that spot !
Lovely photographs Gill – great placing of your logo on the doorway shot …. I had to look again to see whether you’d found someone with the same name painted above their door! Duh! 🙂
LOL … and thanks 🙂
These are lovely Gill, Sarah looks gorgeous. I love the shot into the sun.
Thanks Jo, it was a lot of fun 🙂
Nice touch with the vintage camera…..
Think I need to add in here that these are the ONLY photographs I have ever had taken that I love! I hate our wedding pics (that’s because they are awful!) so these are extra special. Having lived in London for 13 years some time ago, the location was very special to Craig and I and the Millenium Bridge was a shot I loved of Gill’s and thought – ‘I gotta get me one of those!!!’ Thanks again Gill, great experience to be in front of the camera for a change……might have to do it again with the kids this time LOL….oh how it has changed me!
Lovely!
