In fact, it&#8217;s so beautiful that they have their first wedding taking place at the cemetary this year. I recommend to my couples that they choose a location for their engagement shoot that it special to them and Jess and Simon chose Arnos Vale because they live nearby and often go for walks there with their daughter, Eliza. It is a site that has lots of contrasts as you can see from the shoot &#8211; leafy, shaded walks, Victorian gothic architecture, classical memorials and some street art thrown in.<\/p>\n<p>Jess and Simon met at a pub quiz, which we deduced that I may have been at too! Jess makes great (and I mean totally awesome) knitted monsters and Simon develops websites. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Jess makes knitted monsters\" src=\"http:\/\/sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net\/hphotos-ash3\/c67.0.403.403\/p403x403\/548822_10151059085285759_1781231397_n.jpg\" title=\"Jess&#039; Knitted Monsters\" class=\"alignnone\" width=\"403\" height=\"403\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Jess claims a frown is her natural photo expression, but I didn&#8217;t see it&#8230;until I asked Simon to think of a moment that she made him proud and he couldn&#8217;t think of anything. She suggested perhaps the moment she gave birth to his baby \ud83d\ude42 They were great fun to shoot with, even when I started calling Simon by the wrong name pretty consistently for the last ten minutes of the shoot!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m totally looking forward to sharing their their literature-themed wedding at the University and Literary Club with you soon! <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/marieman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/120917_Arnos_Vale_Engagement_Shoot_Jess_Simon_7756edit-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-588\" title=\"Jess &amp;
