An early start

Last week I got the chance to meet up with an old friend from school, whom I haven't seen since the day we left, in 1998. This is a crying shame, and it makes me wish Facebook had been invented 10 years ago.
Still, a couple of Saturdays back the four of us: me, my friend and his fiancee, and Alison, who did a great job assisting me, headed out into the sticks to shoot some engagement photos and generally hang out / discuss the wedding. Though camera shy, they rocked it and really made it easy to get good shots. We were in a valley, so only got occasional shafts of light, but one of these made a great backdrop, with intentional flare and backlighting. Here is one of those shots: More soon.
