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 !
