Donna & Stephen – Engagement shoot in Camden

admin — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 12:47:14 +0000

It is only a couple of months away until their wedding but we all thought it would be nice till the summer to do a pre wedding photoshoot. They chose Camden in North London as the setting as it holds special memories of many a fun night out and was a local haunt of theirs. We spent a little while having a wander through the markets before settling for the main destination for the evening: The Pub!

I know their wedding is going to be great fun from what they have told me about the day and I’m looking forward to it. Here are a few of my favourites:

Reuben & Jess – Hampstead Heath Shoot

I always love working with couples looking for that something special when it comes to photography as it gives me extra opportunity to be creative and create iconic images. Reuben & Jess are a great couple and I am so looking forward to shooting their wedding in the summer. They wanted photography for their invites, so we did a shoot up on Hampstead Heath and we got some wonderful imagery. Here are a few of my favourites:

Pre wedding photoshoot – Cambridge

Managed to dodge the rain last week for a lovely pre wedding photoshoot with Chris & Ellie. Just before I got into Cambridge it was pouring with rain but as got into Cambridge the rain stopped, the clouds broke and the sun came out. Chris & Ellie’s wedding is only a month away so it lovely to spend some time with them and takes some photographs. Here are my favourites:

Pre wedding photoshoot – Hanbury Manor, Hertfordshire

admin — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 14:19:47 +0000

I was at the lovely Hanbury manor in Ware, Hertfordshire the other week doing a little pre wedding photoshoot with Nick & Paula. They are a lovely couple and I’m really looking forward to shooting their wedding in August, which isn’t far away now. Time does fly!

Pre wedding photoshoot’s can be a bit strange for couples I think as most people aren’t used to having their picture taken. It’s different from shooting a wedding as most of the time the bride & groom are mostly preoccupied with the day and that enables me to capture lovely reportage images that I love shooting. Nick & Paula were very relaxed though, even though it was one of those very hot days that us brit’s aren’t used to! (As i write this it’s raining outside with a nice bit of thunder & lightening! back to the normal british summer..) Pre wedding or engagement photoshoots are one of the things I always offer, although not every couple takes me up on it, but it’s a good opportunity to spend some time with the couple and go over the arrangements and also get a feel for what they are like in front of the camera.

Hanbury Manor in Ware is a lovely venue and it is where Nick & Paula are getting married and having their reception. I believe it’s called the summer house the part where they are having the wedding and it has a fantastic walled garden which is perfect for a wedding reception.

Here are a couple of images from the shoot:
