Stephanie and Steven's engagement shoot

Stephanie and Steven will be getting married in September 2010 in the lovely Gorse Lodge in Newark. I'm very much looking forward to shooting at that venue - it's a grand old hunting lodge with lots of antique hunting paraphernalia, and I suspect it'll make for some really special shots.

For their engagement shoot Stephanie and Steven said that they'd love to do something at Sherwood Forest, near Nottingham, because that was a location that had a particular significance for Steven. I thought that was a great choice, and was looking forward to making the most of the scenic and historic backdrop.

Here are some of the shots from the shoot. Many thanks to Stephanie and Steven for allowing me to repost them here - they were great sports during the shoot. (You can see a larger selection of the pictures here.)


In this shot I used some off-camera flash and balanced the flash and ambient exposure so as to enhance the moody atmosphere of the forest.
