Lisa & Boo's Engagement Shoot

My friends Lisa & Boo are tying the knot this summer and a couple of weeks ago we went to the candy floss capital of the North-West (Blackpool, of course) to hang out and take some engagement shots. Once the kids (mine, that is) were in bed we jumped in the car and headed to the location. As it happened, this turned out to be one of the funnest shoots I've ever done and was so chilled out I don't know whether it ever was a 'photoshoot' - more just having fun together, with me taking a few pictures.

After parking up we made a beeline for the nearest doughnut stand, before wandering over to the pier - making sure we didn't do an Alan Bradley impression on the way across. We did so many fun things, like shooting targets, playing air hockey, riding kids' rides and playing the racing camel games, before wandering down to where the beach would've been had the tide not been in. The light was amazingly good, with the sun just thinking about setting, giving an almost orangey glow to everything. Boo got soaked, leading to a John Wayne-esque walk back to the car.
