Pre Wedding Shoot

Beach Fashion Shoot | St Annes I had the incredible privilege of working with two very talented ladies recently- professional make up artist Jaye Adams, and signed model Anna Clough of Nemesis modelling agency. Our purpose of the shoot was to showcase Jaye's beautiful make up, and Anna's beauty. We were going for something natural, and chose the stunning location of St Annes sand dunes and beach for our shoot. This of course brought a few challenges for me as it potentially could have been harsh sunlight and no shade to take refuge in. We came armed with all sorts of gadgets and gizmos,...

Nicola & Rob | Pre Wedding Photography Browsholme Hall I met up with the wonderful Nicola and Rob for their pre wedding shoot at the stunning Browsholme Hall in Clitheroe, Lancashire. They will soon be getting married at the gorgeous Tithe Barn which is also on the estate. We made the most of the grounds, and Nicola and Rob were brave enough to venture out onto the lake in a boat.  I chose to stay on dry land and photograph them from there! After a bit of a rocky start, they set off and made it look easy in the little wooden boat! We chatted about all of their upcoming plans for the big day,...

Mark & Kerry | Pre Wedding Photography Ormskirk I met up with the lovely Kerry and Mark for their pre wedding shoot in Ormskirk the other day. We enjoyed our walk down a little country lane, and the use of the odd corner of a field. I'd like to formally thank both Mark and Kerry for being adventurous and being up for getting a bit dirty! It was well worth it. Even though we only *just* missed some gorgeous golden sun, the pictures definitely reflect the fun that we had during their engagement shoot. Mark and Kerry will soon be getting married next month, so it was a joy to hear more about...

Rachel & Chris | Pre Wedding Photography Lancashire I met up with Chris and Rachel the other day for their beautiful Autumn engagement shoot. This time of year is so gorgeous when it's sunny, the leaves are starting to change colour and the air is crisp and fresh. We enjoyed our walk around the park, taking in the beautiful season and scenery. Engagement shoots are always a bonus, as we can chat about the plans for the wedding day. I've had many couples say how much more real the day feels after doing so. Chris and Rachel told me a few details about their big day which is in a few weeks,...

Hayley & Gareth | Pre Wedding Photography Preston I had the absolute pleasure of meeting up with Hayley and Gareth the other day for their pre wedding shoot in Preston. They are one of those couples that are very much in love, and it was nice to see that they enjoyed themselves for their shoot! Hayley was a natural in front of the camera, despite feeling a tad apprehensive beforehand. I always aim to keep engagement shoots simple, fun and fresh, to put a couple as much at ease as possible. After all, it's a great trial run for their big day, seeing how it will feel to be the stars of the show! We...

Paula & James | Pre Wedding Photography Preston I met up with the lovely Paula and James for their pre wedding shoot the other day on another gloriously sunny afternoon. The park we did the shoot in was absolutely teaming with people, due to the weather and an event happening the same day in the park. Despite the huge crowds and audience that we had, we managed to find some peace to enjoy the sunshine. The couple will soon be getting married at the stunning West Tower wedding venue. When they first contacted me a while back asking me to work as their photographer, I was excited about the prospect...

Chris and Jade are going to be my first wedding this year, so it was exciting meeting them at Statham Lodge for their pre wedding photography.  It was a gloriously sunny day as I made my way to Statham, but typically about five minutes after I arrived it clouded over. Needless to say it didn't ruin our engagement shoot! I love being able to meet with couples at the actual venue where they will be getting married. As we had a look around the gardens, we were able to explore all of the options we will have on the day for their photographs. We were also kindly allowed to have a peek inside the rooms...

Some people you meet leave a lasting impression, and Paul and Debbie certainly did that! I knew when I first received their wedding enquiry that it was going to be an interesting one. Their wedding venue of choice is the stunning Portmeirion in Wales. I've been there a couple times before, so I know working there as a wedding photographer is going to be fantastic. The buildings and scenery are spectacular, whatever the weather! If possible, I like to meet the couple at the wedding venue for their pre wedding shoot. This allows me to have a look around, and we can have an idea of the best places...

Magda & Richard | Linthwaite House Hotel Pre Wedding Photography Yesterday I was once again back at one of the most beautiful wedding venues I have ever been to. Linthwaite House Hotel is situated overlooking the stunning Lake Windermere in Cumbria, and is simply spectacular. Rain or shine, this venue really does have the 'wow' factor! I had the privilege of shooting a wedding there last year, and this year I am going back SIX times, including pre-wedding shoots! The staff are lovely, which makes it an even more pleasant experience to be there. Magda and Richard will be getting married...

Lake District Wedding Photography, Linthwaite House Hotel I love pre- wedding shoots. They allow me to get to know the couple before their big day, and it also helps the couple to see how I work. Because of this, they feel more comfortable with me on their wedding day, which allows me to capture more beautifully natural pictures. I met up with Trish and Rich before their wedding day, at the stunning Linthwaite House Hotel, Cumbria. It was interesting viewing the location before the big day. It's still one of my favourite venues that I've had the privilege of doing wedding photography at!  The...
