Back in September I had a call from Mike. He was planning a surprise proposal to his girlfriend Laura and wanted me to capture the moment he popped the question... without her knowing!
I was really excited to be involved and couldn't wait to meet Mike a few days before to run through how he intended the 'moment' to play out. At Stanton House Hotel, there is a lovely garden which then leads down to the woods and a lake. Having shot a few weddings there before, I am familiar with the setting and was impressed at the forethought that Mike had given everything.
On the day, we were expecting storm Barbara to hit and everyone was a little anxious at the torrential rain and wind that was forecast. But amazingly it held off and Mike was able to propose as planned. And Laura said YES! :)
After, I heard Mike ask Laura if she had any idea what he had been planning, and she said that she didn't suspect at all. Great work Mike. I also discovered that Mike designed and had Laura's beautiful ring made - how special.
Later, the two of them went to the hotel for some afternoon tea with family and friends, which was another surprise for Laura.
I am thrilled to be sharing these photographs with you as it was such a special moment that I was asked to capture.
I am also really looking forward to 2018 when I can see these two again and capture their wedding day. I have a feeling its going to be amazing :)

"Thank you so much for our photographs, they are perfect. You made us feel so relaxed whilst taking our photos and we also love all the little details that you captured so perfectly. We can't wait to show our family and friends".
Hi, thank you for visiting my website. I am a business brand and portrait photographer based in Swindon, Wiltshire, I also cover Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, the Cotswolds, Oxford, Newbury and Bristol. Portraits are also a passion of mine. I love getting outdoors with families for a stomp in the woods or visiting newborns in their home - each photoshoot is so different and I'm always excited to create unique photographs that will be cherished for many years to come. I love what I do and I hope that you can see that. I'd love to hear from you and to talk about your wedding ideas or your plans for a family photoshoot. You can either send me an email or call me on 07788 400250. Thank you, Elizabeth |
