David & Leighanne's UK Engagement Session | London Engagement Session | Gavin Conlan Photographer | London Engagement Photography | www.gavinconlan.com

Last summer I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Dave and Leighanne's UK Engagement session - you may ask why it's taken me so long to showcase these but today is their Wedding Day so it's the perfect timing.

Me and Dave have been great friends for about 15 years now, it all goes back to my days working for Blockbuster Video in the Mall in Dagenham.  My first shift was with him and we had loads in common (music, stylish long hair :) we hit it off straight away and the rest they say is history.  

Until we met for this shoot we hadn't actually seen each other for about 5 years, our lives had changed direction I moved away from Dagenham and worked for the UK Government and Dave moved down to Bournemouth and now lives out in Texas USA with the beautiful Leighanne.

It's weird to think back to that first shift at Blockbusters if someone would've told us he'd be a mega successful copywriter living the dream out in the States and I had travelled the world getting paid for what I love to do we would of laughed in their faces.  Life truly is an amazing journey!!!!

As I mentioned earlier, today is their Wedding Day they are getting married at the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai, Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.  They are a really beautiful couple and watching them together during the shoot was so lovely you could see their love oozing out in every image.

I really hope you love these photographs, have an amazing day and I'll speak to you real soon.

Have an AMAZING Wedding Day.

All the best, Gavin

"Ti Amo" the Italian Love affair | Diana & Danny's Italian Engagement Session | Florence Engagement Session | Gavin Conlan Photographer | Florence Italy Engagement Photography | www.gavinconlan.com

This adventure was truly epic!!!!

I had the absolute honour of travelling out Florence one of the most beautiful Cities in the World to photograph Diana and Danny's Wedding.  To maximise our time we had discussed the option of photographing their Engagement session and below you can see a rather large sample from our fantastic shoot.

I arrived in Florence on the 23rd May flying Club Europe with British Airways into Pisa International, the weather was glorious and best of all my luggage arrived on the same flight (trust me this hasn't always happened - Japan being the prime example). I had pre-booked my bus tickets with Terravision which made the journey from Pisa to Stazione Santa Maria Novella very simple and from there I jumped a taxi to my hotel.  

When looking at hotel's for the Engagement session the location was key for me so I decided on the Relais Uffizi Hotel, trust me this hotel has the best location - 2mins walk from the famous Piazza della Signoria, The Ponte Vecchio Bridge and The Uffizi Gallery and as a photographer you couldn't ask for more.

The Engagement Session itself was superb and we had such a great laugh creating the images, the weather was glorious which also helped with the mood of the photographs.

Diana and Danny you guys were awesome you embraced all the concepts and ideas with such great energy and you didn't even let all those crowds standing around watching bother you.  The image of you both laughing on the Ponte Vecchio sumed up the whole shoot for me.

I hope you love the selection of images as much as I do.... 

Stay tuned - Their Wedding at the breathtaking Castello di Vincigliata will be posted tomorrow                           (Friday 14th June 2013)
