Today's engagement shoot is so sweet and chic that it's like a pop of summertime in an otherwise rather dreary (here in London, anyway!) Thursday morning.

Captured by some of our favourite photographers for engagement shoots, Peter & Veronika, (check out these past posts to see why), this session is fun, candid, romantic, stylish - and even features an adorable pooch!

An impromptu Champagne picnic (great summer date idea!) in the Slovakian countryside, played the perfect backdrop for Lukas and Lenka's photo session - while their gorgeous style gave it an editorial polish.

We're big fans of how Peter & Veronika can not just capture sunshine and turn it into the most beautiful tool for their photography, but also how they play on pops of colour for a fun, whimsical look.

With lots of shots to inspire your own photography session (and major hair and outfit-envy for Lenka's super chic look!), we'll pass you over to Peter and Veronika to tell us more about their day in the countryside...

From The Photographers

This engagement session took a place in the hills where this beautiful and stylish couple will marry next year. They wanted a session with a picnic theme. They brought all the props with them themselves, flowers, sweets, Champagne, and of course, their cute little dog. Lukas and Lenka are very nice couple to work with, they are planning their wedding in a beautiful place in Wiegerova Vila and we literally can't wait to see their wedding.

Isn't it so stylish! I love Lenka's awesome dungarees (didn't we tell you her hair was incredible!) and Lukas' plaid suit and retro shoes for the more formal shots is so cool! So many pretty portraits too.

Thanks so much to Peter & Veronika, and the gorgeous Lenka and Lukas for sharing their adorable picnic with us.
