Winchester portrait photographyBacklit couple in sunshine

Sharon & Sayu's wedding at Warbrook House near Hook, up at the top end of Hampshire, is just around the corner, so we hooked up a few days ago for a little pre-wedding shoot bathed in glorious sunshine. As an added bonus their charming - and extremely smiley - daughter joined us for some photos to complete the family. You'll often hear that the middle of the day in blazing sunshine is not an ideal time for outdoor portrait photography, but of course there are always ways and means - little pockets of shade to explore, and creative use of the lighting available. And when it comes to the wedding itself these are very often the conditions you'll be taking photos in as well because of the way the schedules for the day tend to naturally fall. Personally I enjoy the challenge, and I have to say that all three of them rose to it admirably. So here is a little taster for a few of the things we've got lined up for the day itself...
