Practice DIY Wedding Cake Baking Engagement

I don’t feature too many engagement shoots these days but this set of super sweet images really caught my eye.

Heather and Steve were friends in school before getting together after leaving home for university. Fast forward 8 years, a NYC proposal plus an uber pretty ring and this lovely pair are planning to tie the knot this year.

They are going to make their own wedding cake, so what better way to practice the big bake than to invite your wedding photographers along?

Thanks so much HBA Photography for sending these delish images over for our viewing pleasure.

We had been friends for years since secondary school before heading off to separate universities, but after spending summer holidays together we realised we missed each other too much and have been together ever since.

Eight years later, on holiday in NYC, Steve caught me completely off guard with a surprise proposal in Central Park, with a Haribo ring! The master plan was complete after we found the perfect replacement ring during our exploration of Manhattan.

After meeting Hannah and Ben at the wedding fayre that they organise at Osmaston Park in Derbyshire, it was immediately clear that we connected with the style and atmosphere of their photo shoots. They suggested that we base the engagement shoot around an activity, so we took the opportunity / risk to decorate and stack a four-tier practice wedding cake we had baked in preparation for making the real thing in June. We loved every minute of our photo session with Hannah and Ben, and couldn’t be happier with the final results!

We are getting married in Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire, which is the village that we grew up in. We can’t wait to get our friends and family together in our home town, and to see what Hannah and Ben will capture on the day.

Well doesn’t that cake look ruddy well marvellous. Yummy.

Thanks so so much for sharing guys xo Lou
