Thanks: Gave 166, Got 850 | October in London, reality check!
These shots were taken on Saturday 11 October 2008 in Chiswick, West London. The name of the church is Christ Church and the grass area around it is Turnham Green. If it was not for the colour of the leaves on the trees you could easily think the scene was from a summer's day.
The shots were taken with a D300 and 18-200VR.

Lucky you, we've had rain in the last couple of days.
Sunshine today but quite windy and cold.
Nice set of pictures

Nice set of shots  John of that part of Chiswick.
But I'm a bit surprised that they allowed you into Chiswick from Acton.

Like No 2 best, they seem very relaxed, did you ask if you could shoot or just use a long lens ?

That shot of the first couple (she leaning on his shoulder) is a belter. Looks a little staged but actually quite professional for it.Did you go offer them a copy? I do think sometimes with good candids, it's likely the best photo someone will ever have taken of them and if it were me, I'd love the opportunity to have a copy.

Lovely shots there - #2 is superb
Just like a high calibre stock photo that would sell over and over.
Good Stuff.
