I've been out and about all over the place recently with pre-wedding shoots (which of course means plenty more weddings to come - hurrah!) and while they've all been a lot of fun - I'll try and get a few more up on the blog in the next few weeks - I thought this one in particular was worth sharing as it features not only one of my favourite local spots, and a really lovely couple in Rebs and Adam, but also a couple of dogs into the bargain. And I love dogs!

Quite a few clients who I've been meeting up with recently have been asking me about the pre-wedding shoot; what's involved, what they can expect to come out of it, what to wear... Hopefully this will give you a pretty good idea. I'd say it's fairly typical of the sort of photos we would aim to capture, but of course really it's all about what you fancy. If you want to dress up to the nines and visit a local manor house that's fine by me. If you're more of a city type, don't mind being in a crowd and would like to make use of urban and architectural backdrops - no problem. If you like to keep things relaxed and casual out in the countryside, maybe down by a river or at a favourite viewpoint, we can certainly do that (and that seems to be what a lot of my couples prefer)... and of course if you want to bring your pups along, well they're more than welcome!

If any of those capture your imagination, feel free to contact me any time to discuss your plans and ask about packages and prices.

Hope you enjoyed this little taster of a pre-wedding shoot, and as ever thanks for reading.
