I’m not sure why but one of my best memories from living in England for all those years was of having fish and chips on a cold, pebbly Brighton beach with my mother who was visiting us from sunny SA. We sat in the freezing wind, watching a bleak and grey-dull sea, feeding the seagulls the last of our hot, salty, vinegary, plumply battered fish and chips from Bankers – the best chippy on the South Coast (in my humble opinion). It seems another world now that we are back on home shores, but this recipe for me is a way to relive that little moment of everyday happiness – so simple and so perfect. Another great one from Ilse for The Food Fox’s weekly recipe column on The Pretty Blog.

Its so hard to describe those feelings that you get after a shoot is over. Elated, exhausted, nervous and ‘x’(whatever word best describes a race horse waiting behind the gates before the race starts). Elated because you think you got some awesome shots! Exhausted because, well whatever any doubters may think, photography is hard work! Nervous because did you really get some awesome shots??? and ‘x’ because nothing must stand in the way of you getting home and sorting through the days work… This little rhythm happens to me every time :-) What makes this emotional rollercoaster so worth it is meeting and photographing amazing people like Kristi and AJ, and giving them something unique to take away from it all. A little bit of how you see them, a little bit of how they see each other and a little bit of them together that’s all brand new :-) It’s a great great feeling!

Kristi and AJ – I don’t think I could be more delighted with these photos – I hope you love them too and I can’t wait for the wedding!!

The lovely people from Haas were so kind to let us photograph in their incredible coffee shop – go check their awesome stuff out! (This place may be the one reason I wish I lived in town!!!)
