I first met Tineka when we both worked at the same pre-school 7 years or so ago.  We quickly became friends as we navigated the waters of young adulthood.  I adored her strong independent nature (Beyonce who?) and the way she could light up a room with her laughter.  Sadly for me, 6 years ago Tineka followed her dreams to London, where she eventually met and fell in love with Alex.  With her upcoming fall wedding back in the US, it only made sense for their engagement to take place along the banks of the city where they fell in love.

Shooting a destination engagement session  in London was an amazing experience.  The lights, the colors, the people- it’s a city unlike any other and if I could shoot there all day every day, I would.  We started our shoot at Somerset House along the River Thames, and then walked the streets along the banks stopping anywhere that caught our eye.  It was a Sunday morning, so most of the city was still sleeping, which made the shoot feel even more intimate.  Tineka and Alex now live in Geneva, Switzerland, so we made sure to hit up a few spots that are quintessentially London.

I can’t imagine a better way to spend a morning while abroad.  I am so happy to have been able to catch up with these two love birds and to capture some special moments in their lives.  Check out more below!
