Laura & Henry | Engagement Shoot | London
It’s been a quiet winter away from the wedding season and I’ve missed it. It was excited to dust off my camera and head to London for a few consultations and some engagement sessions in the City. First up, Laura and Henry. We started in their beautiful home and then headed out in to Hampstead to see what we could find. I love the spontaneity of these shoots. Pick pretty place at right time of day and see what happens. Love getting to know people too. As most of my friends will know I’m more of an observer than a big talker. But I find these shoots provide a great opportunity to get to know people on a slightly deeper level. I think that’s kind of necessary when photographing two people in love and that’s why I enjoy doing them.
I really enjoyed this session and here are a handful of my favourites.
(Okay, so check out the first shot. Probably my favourite photograph of the year so far. Just for fun I asked Laura and Henry to throw these playing cards in to the air. I had a vision, and whilst it didn’t totally work out we did get this photograph which I absolutely LOVE. If you look close enough you’ll see that the Ace of Hearts has somehow separated itself from the pack and is at a great angle to the camera. No photoshop trickery – hand on heart.)

Lovely work there Bert.I especially like the two with Henry kissing Laura’s neck and the one of Laura looking past Henry’s shoulder.
The ‘card’ shot is definitely a long-term portfolio piece. Whatever you were planning, I’d take this any day… Nice work!
Lovely photos, Albert!
That card shot is really ace 😉 See what I did there? Thank you for sharing these.
Bert, I love how clean & fresh these look. The Ace of Hearts shots is pretty special!
Awesome work. That first shot is all kinds of brilliant 🙂
The one with the cards is really cool, I’m loving it!
Fabulous – I love the wintery feel of these. That first one though is very cool!
These are great!! I really love your posing too
Super beautiful couple. Love those last three frames.
Great shots Albert – the Ace of Hearts one could not have been planned better! Very excited about seeing our engagement shoot on here soon! Sorry that your subjects for that shoot weren’t quite as photogenic though!
Such a cute couple! They’re all great images! Love forth from the bottom!
Cool card shoot with the ace of hearts!
That 5th one down and the last two are my favs!!
Really beautiful shots. Very natural. You really captured how stunning Laura’s eyes are.
You know I like the first shot! I always love your work – especially like the individual headshots, nice!
