Kirsty & Ashley’s Pre Wedding Shoot, Fenstanton

Monday, January 23rd, 2012

I spent a great few hours with Kirsty and Ashley when we met for their pre wedding shoot at the studio last week. I always like to hold the pre wedding shoot in an environment that is a total contrast to the wedding venue and so we went down to a local underpass for a bit of an urban feel. Kirsty and Ashley will be getting married at Parklands, Quendon Hall, Essex, a superbly styled wedding venue with beautiful grounds and stylish interiors.

Audrey & Reece Pre Wedding Shoot

Thursday, August 4th, 2011

Tuesday saw me at St John’s College, Cambridge for the pre wedding shoot of Audrey and Rees. The College is an amazing background for any shoot, but was a perfect setting for the couple who will will be getting married at Duxford Lodge in a few weeks time. Audrey and Rees arrived at the shoot extremely apprehensive , never liking their photograph taking, but I assured them that after an hour with me, they would be fully relaxed and looking forward to their wedding photography. I think you can see how much they enjoyed the shoot and how chilled they were.

Nicola & Jonny Pre Wedding Shoot in Huntingdon

Sunday, July 10th, 2011

Nicola and Jonny will be getting married in August at Sheen Mill near Cambridge and seem very excited about their big day plans. We shot their pre wedding images at Houghton Marina on the edge of the river Cam near Huntingdon and got some great images in changeable weather. I do love it when the sun comes out for a shoot, but it’s good practice when it’s a mixture of sun and cloud, it certsinly keeps you on your toes.

Holly and Jo pre wedding shoot at Kimbolton

Monday, July 4th, 2011

It had been raining all day but we braved the miserable weather for the pre wedding shoot of Holly and Jo at Kimbolton. Kimbolton Castle has some beautiful grounds to work in, but we ventured off in a different direction for the shoot and later found out that this is were Jo proposed to Holly, culminating in him getting down on one knee and popping the question at the gate. It was nice to get some shots in a place that will always mean so much to them both.

Alison & Matt pre wedding shoot, Peterborough

Saturday, June 4th, 2011

It was a glorious afternoon when I met Alison and Matt in Stilton near Peterborough. They both seemed a little nervous at first, though they soon relaxed in front of the camera and we had a real laugh shooting  in and around the church grounds. Alison and Matt will be getting married at the end of July with a reception at Hinchingbrooke House.

Sophie & Charles pre wedding shoot

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

When Sophie and Charles arrived at the studio today for their pre wedding shoot, I knew I had my work cut out as I was going to implement my latest brain wave? On the way to the studio, I decided to shoot a number of the images on my iphone, some of which are shown here. I always tell my bride and grooms that their wedding day is about the romance and love they share, the emotion and fun they will have. It’s not about me and my huge case of equipment, it’s not about the grand venue or the church they are being married in, it’s about them and me capturing their dreams. The pre wedding shoot instills this idea in a couple. Most arrive and tell me they hate having their picture taken, but all leave happy knowing they are in good hands. By dispensing with all the fancy camera equipment for certain shots today, I was able to show Sophie and Charles that it’s the love they share that I will capture, everything else like the venue, cake, flowers etc will just fall in to place. Sophie and Charles are getting married at Buckden Towers, followed by a marque reception at their farm in Warboys, I can’t wait.

Alix & Dave’s Pre Wedding Shoot in Fenstanton

Thursday, April 21st, 2011

I like to mix my pre wedding shoots up a bit and hold them in the strangest places. I do this to show the couple that the wedding images are about them, the romance and love they have for each other, that it’s not just about an amazing venue or background. When Alix and Dave (LOL) arrived at the studio and I found that they had parked a few minutes walk away in the village car park, I decided to hold their shoot there. The first thing I saw was two huge concrete tubes, but I just laughed and dismissed the idea I was getting. Anyway the greenery and old building next to the car park proved a perfect setting to demonstrate how easy it is to get great shots of a couple when they are in love.

Philippa & Andy Pre Wedding shoot in Huntingdon

Thursday, April 14th, 2011

I shot the pre wedding images of Philippa and Andy at the Old Bridge Hotel in Huntingdon earlier this week. The happy couple will be getting married at the Old Bridge in May and let’s hope that the weather on the day is like it was for the pre wedding shoot. The trees by the river always look beautiful when backlit by the sun, a perfect setting for a perfect day.
