I adore Jenny and Damien, they are funny, quirky and just darn right cool. So of course their engagement shoot would be too,
They met on a drunken night out, fast forward and Damien proposed as they headed back home for Christmas. They had their engagement shoot in Brighton, and i love these quirky shots. I mean why get out of bed for your engagement shoot? Brilliant 🙂
Thanks so much to iFocus Photography for sharing his images with us today.
Jenny and Damien told mm…
“Ours is your classic Boy meets Girl love story. Drunk girl admires even drunker boy’s Michael Jackson dance moves. Drunk girl doesn’t say hello but makes enquiries. Boy wakes up after passing out and vomiting on the living room rug to find a Facebook friend request from a very attractive girl he doesn’t know.
Of course he accepts. He earns himself a date by tracking down a much needed copy of The Chronicles of Narnia (original TV version) on DVD and seals the deal with a carry out curry and impressive spatial awareness skills. The rest as they say is history.”
“Sensing Jen’s post-Christmas blues starting to kick in as she packed for their return to their little flat -signalling the inevitable end to the holiday festivities – Damien decided to try to maintain the festive cheer a wee bit longer by asking Jen to have and hold him for eternity. She said yes. Well actually the first thing she said was “I think I might be sick”. THEN she said yes.”
“J&D were a bit unsure at first about the ‘Engagement Shoot’ having never heard of one before but upon learning it was included in the photo package and therefore essentially ‘free’, Damien (Scottish) became far more enthusiastic.
With the wedding taking place where they were brought up, J&D decided to do the pre-shoot where they live down in Brighton. Phil the PhotoGeniusMan came down – bringing the sunshine with him – and under the perfect conditions the three of them enjoyed a lovely, relaxed and not-at-all awkward mooch around town.
The results from the day far exceeded any expectations and J&D were amazed that one man and his camera lens could make them look so much cooler than they actually are! A great success.”

“Jen comes from a family of doers. They identify what needs to be done and they do it. This is an alien concept to Damien but it works well with wedding planning as most things have been tied up for a while now already.
The only outstanding jobs and responsibilities are those assigned to Damien. He will start to think about considering planning them soon.”
Perfect, thanks so much for sharing guys and good luck for your wedding tomorrow, I hope you have the most wonderful day 🙂 XOXO Lou
