Jakub & Katie's Engagement


I'll be Katie and Jakub's Cambridgeshire wedding photographer later in the year and they'd scheduled in a pre-wedding/engagement shoot with me prior to the big day. Plans changed however during our planning stage due to some rather wonderful news... the couple now had a baby on the way! We pivoted our arrangements slightly to have me capture their baby shower instead. It was an absolute honour to be invited to Katie & Jakub's baby shower, and provided me with the very unique opportunity to meet a portion of their future wedding party and also scout the location as this would also be the venue for their wedding party. Hosted at their house in Gamlingay, Cambridgeshire on a mild summer's day with a slight overcast - conditions were perfect.
