Maybe it was that walk through a quaint neighborhood of row houses in DC yesterday afternoon, or maybe it was the news story that just ran on CNN about the upcoming London Olympics, or maybe it’s just that it’s Friday, but I am so longing to be in London right now.
I miss the time that I spent there (although if I could change anything I would’ve had M. along for the entire four months) and I miss the culture. I miss the culture and the accents (especially the woman who does the announcing on the tube). I miss the amazing neighborhood I lived with the absolutely adorable children dressed in their uniforms for school. I miss the restaurant down the street where I’d order the same thing over and over and over again. I really miss just walking in the city – looking in the shop windows and observing the people walking by. Always discovering something new; a new street, a new house (that beautiful chandelier in that person’s window I only noticed because it was night time and the lights were on and the drapes
were open), a new way to wear a scarf or do my hair – it was so fun just looking at everything around me.
Of course M. and I plan to visit London very soon. We both love it there (M. lived there for a little while too) and talk about it often. I have a gorgeous fashion spread from a magazine I bought while in London that is set at London’s different landmarks that I’ll have to share with you someday (I haven’t scanned it yet), but I tried to google it and instead came across these beautiful images from Segerius Bruce Ph
otography of a couple who after getting married trekked through London (in the rain of course – figures!) for a “love shoot.” The images are simply amazing – and mark my words – someday on one of our visits to London (I say ‘one of our visits’ because I know we’ll visit many times) M. and I will do a similar shoot with a professional photographer.
I have already picked out the perfect locations for photos…
• Defi
nitely some shots in Hyde Park
• Photos on the front steps of some of the gorgeous flats/row houses near where M. lived
• Photos on a ‘narrow boat’ in Little Venice/ or of us walking along the canal to Camden Market
• A similar shot to the one Segerius Bruce captured of the couple with the London Eye/Big Ben in the background
• Photos of us browsing vintage booths/produce stands in Portobello Market
• An obligatory phone booth shot
• Most likely a shot of us in a London Cab and possibly some of us waiting to catch a train in a tube station
• Definitely a shot near St. Pauls…or better yet, at the top of St. Pauls Cathedral (where Princess Diana was married) looking out over the city.
• Finally, a shot of us enjoying some coffee, scratch that, wine or a candlelit meal at any of our favorite London restaurants.
Aren’t these photos beautiful?! Want to see more from this photographer?! Check out his website here!
I may be longing for London, but I've also been longing for the weekend! TGIF!
Happy Friday!
