In his 2012 limited edition photo book Places I Remember: My Time With The Beatles, photographer Henry Grossman recalled this 1965 photo shoot at Kinfauns: It was a glorious day outside, and George and Pattie showed me around the grounds. The sunlight was quite bright, and I clearly remember the way it was striking George. I said, 'George, let me get this.' I shot a couple of photos of him alone and then called Pattie over. She put her arm around him, and the light was falling just perfectly for a portrait. I had to take it. And there it was. I’ve always loved the protective posture of Pattie’s arm around George in those photos. As one shot turned into twenty, Pattie decided George’s wind-blown hair needed a touch up. I took a series of photos of her lovingly smoothing and combing it into a regulation Beatle-do. We spent a bit longer out on the lawn, and I got some wonderful shots of the two of them together, both in color and black and white.
