For the first time, this summer I was extremely privileged to be asked to photograph a proposal, which is a new departure for me, and I've now done two! Beforehand I was slightly reticent as I worried it might be a bit intrusive to be there at such an intimate moment, but actually it was really lovely - joyous and emotional. And both couples have since told me how happy they are to have such a memorable record of it, especially the bride-to-be's for whom it was of course a total surprise and so happened in a bit of a whirl!

Dev proposed in Hammersmith where he'd first met Bhavika years ago, and afterwards we walked down to the river and had a little portrait session to mark the event. Whereas Bav had arranged for me and a couple of musicians to be in place at Heathrow to photograph his proposal before whisking Tanisha off on a surprise holiday. Here are a few of the snaps...
