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:
