Carly and Nicolas live in the south of France so their pre-wedding shoot was the first time that we’d met.  They are a lovely couple, relaxed and obviously delightfully happy in each others company. It was a joy to spend some time with them having fun taking their photographs. Carly and Nicolas get married later this year at Coltsfoot Country Retreat, one of our favourite venues.  We can’t wait!

Thank goodness weather forecasts aren’t always right. On the day of Ruth and Mark’s engagement photo shoot it was supposed to rain heavily all day. As it transpired, apart from a brief shower, it stayed dry until after the shoot was over. I don’t mind photographing in the rain – it’s a fact of life for a UK wedding photographer – but I was happy it stayed away.

As well as being a good looking couple Ruth and Mark were also great fun to be around. That’s usually a recipe for fab pictures and so it turned out. Here’s just a selection of favourites from the shoot.

Hannah and Ollie came to the studio last week for their pre-wedding photo shoot. Pre-wedding days are always great fun and this was no exception. After a coffee and a chat we headed off to our favourite location for a couple of hours making fun photographs.  Every couple has slightly different tastes so we always try a few different styles of shot to see what works best for them.  Hannah and Ollie liked the relaxed natural style but were also up for a few edgier shots with a fashion twist.  Look forward to putting those ideas into practice in a few weeks at South Farm

Here’s a few of Hannah and Ollie’s favourites:
