Another snap of autumn cosiness for this week from Vanessa and Dan's couple photoshoot just before the lockdown in November last year. I can’t wait for all the beautiful autumn colours again this year, not long now!

Let's talk about privacy for a moment... your comfort and consent are the most important thing when I'm working with you. This not only means while I'm taking your photos, but also what happens to them afterwards.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love to share my photos on here and my website but my clients comfort is more important than my business marketing and so if you don't want your images shared, that's totally fine, no questions asked.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's a snap from a couple who had a lockdown wedding last autumn who've asked for their personal photos not to be shared. This was such a lovely wedding, small, intimate and the autumn leaves were so stunning that it was worth braving the drizzle for to get some awesome photos in the park after the ceremony.

I absolutely love reading your reviews, here’s what Emily and Lex had to say after their couple shoot with me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Image description - A white box with writing sits over a picture of a deep blue sea. The writing says - Absolutely 100% if you are looking for an incredible photographer, go to Charlie. She is so friendly and relaxed and has a genuine passion for what she does. I could tell straight away, she truly cares about the individuality and authenticity of the relationship that she is capturing. She created an atmosphere where we could totally be ourselves and the experience itself was so much fun, it felt like we were on a date. To top it all, our photos are just beautiful.

One from Izzy and Steve's intimate lockdown wedding last summer at .hotel - only a few guests, but still a wonderful day full of love and laughter - and now just 2 more days until the big party with all their friends and family, I can't wait!

I love reading your kind words after a wedding, they make me go squeee inside. Particularly after such a hard year, knowing that I can provide wonderful memories and keepsakes makes me so happy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Image description - words written on a sparkly white background. The words say 'Charlie did a wonderful job with our wedding photography and was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Charlie instantly put us at ease when we met her for our engagement shoot and has supported us all the way through. She produced beautiful photographs that exceeded our expectations and was so discreet on the day that we hardly knew she was there. We couldn't have asked for more and highly recommend Charlie to anyone in the future'.

So relieved for all my couples that the end seems to be in sight - here's to many more beautiful weddings in 2021 and beyond!

What a relief to hear the updates this week...we're not there yet but there's light at the end of the tunnel and in the mean time stay safe, social distance, wear your mask!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Weddings will now again be allowed from the 8th March with potentially unlimited guests on 21st June if all goes well. I’ve now been in touch with all my couples due to get married in the next few months and I still have some 2021 dates available so get in touch if you're planning a 2021 wedding or postponement.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Image description - pink and purple ink splotches with a purple box on top. The words read 'Weddings are back! 8th March, 6 guests, 12 April, 15 guests, 17th May, 30 guests, 21st June, Unlimited. *Earliest possible dates.'

New to the blog today, Vanessa and Dan's autumn couple's photoshoot, my last shoot before the lockdown kicked in ... roll on the end of lockdown please - I miss photographing all you lovely people!

The first few weeks of November are normally a busy time for me to make the most of the gorgeous autumn colours. This year was set to be no different as I had lots of autumn photoshoots planned around the Oxford area, but Covid had other ideas! Whilst most shoots have has to be postponed I was lucky...
