Temple Island
Rob & Steph Engagement Session - Temple Island, Henley-on-Thames
21/10/11 16:58
I will be shooting Rob & Steph’s wedding at Clandon Park in December and last week we went out on a mild and sunny afternoon in Henley for an engagement session. I don’t shoot a lot of engagement or pre-wedding sessions, but Rob & Steph were especially keen to have one.
Henley-on-Thames is a superb location. With the river running through the town, and thanks to one of Rob & Steph’s friends, we were lucky enough to have access to a particularly exciting spot. Temple Island sits a couple of miles downstream from Henley and is so named for the charming folly to which it is home. Thanks to their connections we had the great opportunity to shoot on the island and in the temple! To top off such an entertaining shoot we travelled to and from the island in quite simply the most beautiful boat I have ever laid eyes on. “L’Amazon” is one of the Regatta boats and is used to carry the umpires during races. She is absolutely stunning!
Rob & Steph were great fun to photograph and made my job infinitely easier by being a) really good looking and b) arranging a photographer’s dream location! Thanks to them for everything and for running with my crazy ideas - I’m looking forward to their wedding immensely! Below I’ve chosen a selection of my favourites from the afternoon. I hope you enjoy them:
