Jen and Mark are a fantastic couple, and I feel like over the past year we've become great friends. I photographed their beautiful Christmas wedding at
Middleton Park House this past December (you might have seen it on
One Fab Day or the June issue of
Stellar magazine). They had wanted to do an engagement shoot before the wedding, but we just didn't get the chance to do it. So when I suggested the idea of an 'anniversary' shoot, a 6-month anniversary shoot to be precise, they were really keen to be captured at their lovely home in County Westmeath. I was in photographic heaven again as Jen and Mark are keen DIYers and also antique-lovers. They made the tiled table in the picture below!
Their home was just the right place for the 'nostalgic' shoot we had in mind, and they even have a picture-perfect folk park across the road where we got some very Irish cottagey shots.
This was my first shoot done entirely in film and I love the results! I used a Mamiya 645 AFd for all shots with a combo of Fujifilm Pro 400H, Portra 800, and Ilford XP2. If you'd love to capture your moment in time on beautiful film, please send me a note. And enjoy!
