Gorgeousness comes in many forms to me… late summer sun, snuggly blankets, fairy lights, double cream, the smell of new born babies, warm sand under your feet, the Amalfi Coast, falling snow, gluhwein, puppies and L.A.I.N.E!
We were lucky enough to photograph Laine and Danny’s wedding back in 2010 (see it here) and she was quite honestly one of the most gorgeous brides known to man. She has something not usually associated with such beauty, complete and utter unaffectedness. She is just a fabulously lovely person, not an ounce of ego in sight. We have become friends and now she is going to have a baby, very soon, like next week soon so yesterday she came over to see me for some maternity photographs and my god she looks even better than she did before!!!!
I think the word is blooming……….here she is in all her glory.
Thank you Laine for being so amazing and for allowing me to blog your beauty xxx
p.s The dog is the one and only Douglas/Bouglas/Beasley/Buggie/Woogie/Woo (no wonder he’s neurotic) he loved her too and wanted to get in on the act!

Good God these are absolutely stunning! Laine is beautiful, and they are SO tastefully executed. Nothing you two pull out the bag surprises me, but as these are quite exceptional. And Laine – most of us look like the back end of a bus at this stage, but you look truly gorgeous! x
