A few weeks back, I did an engagement photoshoot for Paul and Serena. Paul is and old friend from undergraduate days, who like me still lives in Oxford. While they don’t want me to shoot their actual wedding…. in Thailand… I’ll be doing the photography for their wedding party back in the UK.
St Hilda’s College ball was on Saturday 8th May. This Oxford college was the last single sex college, and started accepting men for the first time this year. Consequently the ball was slightly female dominated, although many of them brought along male partners to the ball.
