You KNOW an engagement was phenomenal when you get a text from your bride afterwards that says “Oh, and Bryan wanted to make sure you know that if you were not already coming to the wedding to take pictures that we would want to invite you because you are pretty freakin awesome!”

These two. Oh, these two!! Bryan & Rachel are two of the warmest, most inviting people you’ll ever meet. Classic and easygoing, elegant but never stuffy, chic without even trying. I love them SO much!! The early morning session itself was incredible, even despite the fact that my driver took me to the wrong part of town (but really, how do you mistake “BIG BEN” for anything but the Westminster Bridge area??). And as if that weren’t enough, we met up again for dinner for the best Indian meal I’ve ever had, and then off to a seriously cool speakeasy for drinks. This pair is not only incredible together as a soon-to-be-married couple, but they’re also kind and inviting and considerate. It’s important to them that the people around them are comfortable and taken care of.

Bryan & Rachel, I can’t thank you two enough for being exactly as you are! I cannot imagine a better way to have spent the morning and evening than with you both, weird Irish jigs and all. I can’t wait to see you guys in just a few short weeks!!

*There are way more black & whites than I ever blog, but that’s because these two are classic to a T, and…because it’s London. No more explanation needed.*

Oh, I should mention: KATE MIDDLETON STOOD HERE on her wedding day. That’s all, pardon the interruption. (Also, how gorgeous is Rachel’s fascinator?! Thank you, Harrods!)

^Fun story about this phone booth- everyone in my family has taken a photo in this exact same booth. We call it the “Field Family Phone Booth!” so naturally, it was the one we selected for Bryan & Rachel’s last few photos. Perfection!
