New Forest Pre-wedding Photoshoot: Kirsty & Scott
Way overdue for a blog post - wedding season in full swing right now and lots of jobs on and meetings with new clients planning for 2013 - but what a fantastic one to come back with! This quick selection is from a pre-wedding photoshoot with Kirsty and Scott down at Lepe Beach in the New Forest. I don't think it's any secret that the weather hasn't been at its finest over the last couple of months, to the point where we had actually had to hold over the original date for our get-together, but thank goodness we did because the sun came out in all its glory and we had a fantastic morning down there snapping away and talking about the final arrangements for the day in between photographs.
Kirsty and Scott had asked that we met up at Lepe for the shoot as is a particularly special place for them - it was here that Scott proposed, and we were able to go right to the spot (or at least the point closest to it, as the tide was in this time) to mark the occasion. We took in a few other viewpoints while we were there, with deep blue sea waters, the occasional seagull, and the Isle of Wight in the background. There are all sorts of fantastic angles and details there - it's a great place for photography. I hadn't been there for ages, but I'll definitely be back!
After a good amount of time exploring a few different points up and down the waterfront we were also able to take a few moments to pop down the coast to their reception venue - Elmer's Court in Lymington; a beautiful country house hotel in the New Forest with grounds sweeping down to the solent and yachts bobbing in the background. Dark wooden panels on the walls, huge stone fireplaces and gorgeous secret gardens across the grounds... it's only a couple of weeks away now and I can't wait! We cooked up a few ideas for some of the group shots which should make them stand out a bit, and also time out with the two of them - it's going to be a lot of fun! I won't give away any of the secrets now but it's going to be rich in photo opportunities from start to finish...
But anyway, enough from me - here are just a select few more from the shoot. There are plenty more photos up in Kirsty and Scott's gallery, but you'll need to ask them for the password. And don't forget to come by again in a few weeks for a selection of photos from the day itself.
