I met up with Faye and Matt and their gorgeous dogs at Batsford arboretum in Gloucestershire for an engagment shoot in October when the trees looked stunning. Now I am a self confessed dog lover, owning an adorable chocolate labrador myself, so I'm always keen on shoots that involve dogs. It's always so nice to meet brides and grooms before the big day and we spent hours wandering round the arboretum, chatting and taking photos and finishing off with the all important tea and cake - always a winner! Their wedding sounds amazing, so much thought has gone into it and I can't wait to photograph it later in the year. It was a joy to meet you Faye and Matt, and thanks for the excuse to eat cake xxx
