Klina and Lee's engagement shoot

I met up with Klina and Lee on a lovely sunny summer's day for their engagement shoot. They're tying the knot at the end of August and fingers are crossed for similarly lovely day then.

We started off with a few portraits in Klina and Lee's beautiful and very characterful flat in a development converted from a lovely old church and including the original church windows, which I included in some of the shots. We then moved on to Hampstead Heath, a short walk away. I was worried that the crowds on the Heath would make things difficult but we managed to find some relatively secluded locations for the shoot. At the end we came across a lovely little clearing which framed the couple wonderfully. The sunlight was very strong and the sun was fairly high up in the sky, so I shot in the shade and used off-camera flash on some occasions in order to add some emphasis and to counterbalance the bright background. Klina and Lee were a fun couple and I very much look forward to the wedding, which I understand will incorporate a fancy dress element. Marvellous. Can't wait.
