I first met Simon and Jen in Shaftesbury by gold hill (iβd parked at the bottom). This is the same Gold Hill of Hovis advert fame π
This was back in 2010. I was booked as their wedding photographer and we did an eshoot in the New Forest complete with rain and pigs π
Fast forward to 2012 and their Wedding Day was lovely β a bit winder but it stayed dry π
I started off with Jen at home getting some make-up finished off.
