Katie and Dan's engagement shoot

Katie and Dan will be getting hitched in August with their reception at the Royal Naval College in Greenwich, which I'm very much looking forward to. For their engagement shoot, we met up at next to a couple of other famous London landmarks - the Millennium Bridge and the Tate Modern gallery (within sight of St. Paul's cathedral across the river). The weather was perfect - a lovely balmy June day - and the South Bank was buzzing (that being more of an inconvenience than a benefit!).

The bright sun necessitated a more gadget-based photoshoot than usual, with some off-camera flash to mitigate the harshness of the mid-afternoon shadows. Most of the portraits were framed so as to include as many of the famous landmarks as possible - it seemed a shame to waste them! With a location like this it is of course a struggle to avoid shots that rise above the average 'holiday snap' - hopefully I pulled it off but you can judge for yourself!

More photos from the shoot can be seen here.
