Northern Ireland engagement photoshoot {Mount Stewart} – Claire & Johnny

It’s time for some more engagement photo loveliness on the blog! I’m really loving shooting engagement sessions at the minute, it’s such a great way to get to know my future brides and grooms and you just can’t beat an afternoon wandering around a beautiful location like Mount Stewart. Last Saturday I went there to meet up with Claire and Johnny, who are getting married at the Clandeboye Courtyard in May, for their pre-wedding photoshoot. I’m sure you’ll agree they make a seriously cute couple!

Before we get to the photos, I should say that I discovered during the shoot that Johnny isn’t too impressed with modern photographers’ tendency to concentrate on the bride, leaving the poor groom out of focus and acting as a mere accessory, so I hope I’ve put enough photos of you in here Johnny! I’ll make sure I set aside extra time for groom photos on the wedding day : )

Ohh I love her style, i’m sporting a stripy top and blue trousers too although I certainly don’t look as cool! Awesome shots as always Lauren!

A very cute couple! I love the colours. Great job, Lauren!

Northern Ireland engagement photography {Cathedral Quarter, Belfast} – Edel & Frank

It’s that time of year again, when I start to notice photographer friends mention the W word more and more, and there’s a real sense that everyone is getting themselves geared up and excited – yes wedding season is almost here! As I’m sure you’ve seen from the blog, I’ve been having a busy time with baby and portrait sessions recently, and of course they’ll continue right through the year. But from the start of March I’ll also be sharing lots of gorgeous weddings, and I can’t wait. The stars of today’s engagement shoot are Edel & Frank, who were one of the first few couples to book me for their wedding almost a year ago. So I’m very excited now that their big day is just around the corner.

When we were organising this engagement session, Edel told me that she and Frank weren’t really the kind of people who hang around in parks, so we decided that a city centre location would be more their style. I really love the Cathedral Quarter in Belfast, there are so many lovely colours and textures, I could shoot there all day. I’m really looking forward to their wedding at the Slieve Russell Hotel next month, I’m sure you’ll agree they’ll be a stunning couple! Here are a few of my favourites from their engagement photoshoot…

Northern Ireland newborn photography – baby Katie {7 days old}

It’s been a busy week on the blog, and there’s more still to come with two engagement shoots over the next few days! But first I’ve got the third of my little newborn models for you. When I arrived at 7 day old Katie’s house she was fast asleep and all ready for her shoot… or so we thought anyway. As soon as we set her down she decided that she’d actually quite like to be awake to keep an eye on what was going on. I think it was about two hours before she decided to sleep again! As with everything in life, the best things are worth waiting for. Here’s a little preview from the photoshoot : )

Northern Ireland newborn photography – baby Zoe {two weeks old}

It’s time for the second of this week’s newborn baby blog posts, I think I’ll be retouching baby skin in my sleep by the end of the week! I always edit newborns with a smile on my face though, who couldn’t when they’re so cute?

At two weeks old, baby Zoe was just on the upper side of the perfect age for newborn photos, but she was still kind enough to sleep a little bit for me. Even when she wasn’t sleeping she was lovely and content, watching me with her beautiful big eyes and flinging her arms all over the place! Here’s a little preview from her photoshoot : )

Northern Ireland newborn photography – baby Izzi {10 days}

We’ve got a bit of a newborn photography marathon coming up on the blog! It seems there just aren’t enough hours in the day this week, but I’ll try my best to get little previews from all three lovely sessions posted in the next few days. First up is a little girl who’s extra special because she’s my cousin! Well… maybe cousin once removed, but definitely a relative : )

It was so lovely to meet little Izzi on Monday, here’s a little preview from her photoshoot…
