Heather & Simons Relaxed Pre Wedding Photo Shoot in London

“I bloody love them all..thanks so so much!!!”

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! :-)

Carrie & Dans Sunny Pre Wedding Shoot in the Cotswolds

" We had great fun thanks, we love the photos they look fantastic! Thank you so much! Really looking forward to seeing the wedding photos already! " Carrie & Dan

Gorgeous sunny weather greeted us last weekend for Carrie & Dans pre wedding shoot on Leckhampton Hill in the Cotswolds! We started off in the woods surrounding Daisy Bank car park but soon made our way up to the top of the hill where we could enjoy the views and blue skies across Gloucestershire!

I keep my pre wedding and engagement shoots relaxed and informal. Lets face it, the majority of us don't particularly enjoy our picture being taken let alone have a camera follow them around all day. I break down these barriers by keeping things natural, fun and free flowing without being too forced or rigid. 

Carrie and Dan were great to work with especially as Dan has a keen interest in photography and knew the type of shots I was trying to achieve! I'm really looking forward to shooting their wedding this year, it should be a blast! 

Lydia & Ed on their colourful autumn engagement shoot in the cotswolds

Autumn is my favourite time of the year to photograph happy couples! The colours and tones are incredible and you can't beat wrapping up in a wooly hat and gloves! A few weeks ago I spent a fun couple of hours with Lydia and Ed in the medieval town of Tewkesbury situated in the Cotswolds. My pre wedding and engagement shoots are brilliant at showing couples how I shoot and what their wedding day photography will be like. This awesome twosome were so chilled out and happy to go with the flow it made for some awesome pictures! I'm really looking forward to shooting their big day next year!! 

Kylie & Matt - Autumn pre wedding shoot in the Cotswolds

Autumn is my favourite time of year to shoot so I was excited to meet up with Kylie & Matt for their pre wedding shoot in Cheltenham. The town is known as the heart of the Cotswolds and you can see why. The light was on awesome on Sunday, so warm and rich making for great natural pictures! It also helped that Kylie & Matt were so friendly and chilled out! Cant wait to shoot their wedding next year! :-)
