London Engagement Session | Jennifer and Bobby | gavin conlan photography Ltd | London Engagement Photographer

"An amazing couple with an amazing story who have the perfect love story"

For anyone who knows me or has worked with me in the past will know that I'm a little bit obsessed with movie style love stories - Jennifer & Bobby's love story is most definitely from the pages of a Hollywood movie.....

Save the date Front.jpg

I had the absolute honour of photographing their Engagement Session in London last December.  I remember receiving this email enquiry from Jennifer who lives out in Chicago and my first thoughts were "wow my presence has made it all the way out to Chicago".  I've never been there but supporting the Chicago Bears as a kid it's always held a special place in my heart - so to say I was a little bit excited by this email was an understatement.

Over the months leading up to the shoot - myself, Jennifer & Bobby discussed logistics of the shoot, the locations they desired and their suitable outfits. As the shoot date was getting closer the weather wasn't really improving I knew we shouldn't of expected much for late December in England but I was hoping for one of those gorgeous crisp London blue skies instead we got wet dull London.  You know what London is beautiful in all weather conditions and due to the weather we had to slightly adjust our shoot schedule on the day but I would honestly say it worked out perfectly in the end.

We took advantage of one of my favourite spots on the River Thames (next to Westminster Bridge), followed by St Pancras International Rail Station - this station is an architectual masterpiece in my eyes.  

You may of seen a couple of these images on my

facebook photography page

 but I wanted to showcase more on here because there are so many images I love and wanted to share with you.

Retro Glamour | Rivoli Ballroom, London | Gavin Conlan London Fashion Photographer | www.gavinconlan.com | www.londonspeedlitescene.co.uk

Back in June I attended the LSS meet up No.18 at the amazing Rivoli Ballroom in London, the location was fantastic filled with amazing interiors and beautiful pockets on natural light which really inspired me on the day.  As you'll see by the amount of images I've posted you get the idea that I had a blast on the day, these meet ups are perfect for photographers, models, make up artists and stylists so if you haven't checked out the LSS already I recommend you do so ASAP.

All the models and MUA's were provided by the London Speedlite Scene - you should check out the link below to their website.

Also check out this fantastic charity shoot for Breast Cancer Care organised by the LSS (click on the image below to find out more).

Now for my selection of images taken from the Retro Glamour shoot at the Ballroom, all images were lit with a mixture of available light and daylight balanced video lights.

I hope you enjoy them - Gavin...

The Wedding of Lorraine & Ricky | Ashwells, Brentwood | Gavin Conlan Essex Wedding Photographer | www.gavinconlan.com

Last Friday was a momentous day, one of my best friends got married to his soul mate the beautiful Lorraine.

For those that know me I have a real issue about get old and leading up to their wedding I had a bit of a wobble, in my mind we are all still 16 messing about without a care in the world but in reality we are adults doing adult things (well sort of !!)

It was an absolute honour to photograph their wedding day at the gorgeous Ashwells Sports and Country Club in Brentwood, I could not have relaxed watching someone else shoot their day.  Working surrounded by all my mates was a bit weird (in a good way) at first but it just made for a wicked day.

I really hope you love looking at these images, their online slideshow is NOW LIVE - you can view this underneath their images.  I hope you all love it as much as I do.

Rick, Lorraine I Love You both to bits..... I wish you nothing but a lifetime of happiness together !!!!

- Gavin

London Fashion Photography | Gavin Conlan Essex Wedding and Portrait Photographer | www.gavinconlan.com

a few months ago i had the pleasure shooting with Charley again, it seems so long ago that we enjoyed some sunshine in London so in celebration of today's weather I've decided to post a selection of images from this shoot.  We ended up shooting on the Millennium Bridge and the steps of St Paul's Cathedral, St Paul's Cathedral at night is even more beautiful and using the spotlights which light up the front of the building I was able to achieve these shots...

I hope you enjoy the images, have a great day!! - Gavin
