There are so many gorgeous places to photograph here in England, but sometimes your own front yard is the best place for your session. For Sam + Tim their farmhouse in Holme, England was perfect for them. Originally we were planning their session in London, but with the travel times and permits, we decided to keep it close to home. (I was quoted 275£ per hour to photograph in London because it is private property) . Plus, they wanted to photograph their new car, Kitty. (Photographing a couple with an old British car has been a dream/goal of mine since we arrived.) . With the farmhouse, the beautiful English fall weather, and an antique car - all we needed for a bit of throwback was their vintage styled clothing - BOOM! back in the 1920’s.
These two adorable humans met online along with so many of the couples I have photographed. Online romance is where it’s at nowadays, so if you want to find a mate for life, go online. What really makes Sam + Tim unique - besides their love for each other - is that they are swing dancers! I would have asked them to jive for me, but it was actually quite cold, so I stuck to asking them to pose for photos. There was a perfect spot on their front lawn where the sun was shining through the trees, so that is where we set up. I didn’t have to do too much to make these two get in the photo mood - they are deeply in love and you can tell as soon as you see them. I absolutely adore the vintage feel of these images and hope to create more sessions like this in the future. They loved them so much, that they printed the photos for Christmas gifts - fantastic compliments!
