Before a wedding day many photographers including myself offer the option for couples to have a pre wedding/engagement photo shoot. I would always encourage couples to book one of these shoots as they really help you feel at ease before the big day and look forward to the portrait session. If you’re like me and feel uncomfortable having your picture taken, don’t panic! It’s going to be fine..theres nothing scary or forced about my portrait sessions..just ask Heather and Simon! :-) My photo shoots are so relaxed and laid back without lots of forced smiles and cheesy grins!

I met up with Heather and Simon at the Warren Met Police Sports Club in Croydon, London which is to be the venue for their wedding reception next year. We had a great time exploring the grounds looking for interesting backdrops, and there were so many! As a professional photographer with a creative eye I don’t need sweeping sunset views or blue skies to create a great picture. A small gap between two plants in front of a wall, a cricket screen, a reflection in a window is all I need! I was pleased Heather also had a creative eye as she found such a cool green door, very rustic and very cool! I really can’t wait to shoot their wedding next year! :-)
