Wednesday was scheduled for my meet up with Kim and Rob in Weymouth. The preceding week to 10 days had been beautiful dry, crisp weather – perfect conditions for location photography. So what happened on Wednesday – the heavens opened, temperature dropped, the winds howled – in fact the driving rain was coming at you horizontally !
To avoid the inclement weather, once more I found myself arranging the meeting at the Palm House in Weymouth. It’s probably one of the few locations that offers a great backdrop for pictures and great soft even light even when the weather is diabolical.
Not wanting to reproduce similar work to a previous Engagement shoot meeting at this venue, we decided to get a little crafty! Gone Potty – a ceramic painting workshop had opened and offered us the chance of an activity themed shoot.
Kim got into her stride quickly, picking sponges & paints and getting creative ( apparently she used to be a primary school teacher and used to do such things all the time !)
With the illustration on the plate resembling a bear, Rob took it upon himself to engrave the edge with a witty inscription. Several moments of Uming, arhing, erhing ensued before I found myself muttering the old tale about bears in the wood. That was enough and moments later the plate was complete!
Rob and Kim are great match together with Rob cracking jokes every minute and Kim reeling with laughter. I can tell that photographing their wedding will be a hoot with so many great opportunities to catch the fun that will be had by all present !
Look like a great fun couple. Nice imporovisation on the venue too 🙂
You’re going to have SO much fun shooting this wedding, I can tell! :~) Fantastic idea engaging in a fun and focused activity too. I want to do an engagement shoot combined with wine tasting.
