Natalie & Stuart Pre Wedding Shoot

March 10, 2010 on 10:07 am | In Pre wedding, Engagement shoot | No Comments

Natalie and Stuart originally booked me for their wedding  in Zimbabwe and wanted to add a little bit of England to their wedding in Africa, a pre wedding shoot was suggested with a bit of a difference.

They mentioned that that they were going to bring along some numbers 1- 9 and these photos would be used for the table settings at their reception, now I thought the numbers were going to be printed on paper and just held up, no! these numbers were made out of wood and had been professionally made, I was impressed and they looked so good and just jump off the pictures on this chilly March day.

It was a cold day but Stu & Nat wore some nice colorful clothes which is always a good idea and it gives the photos a nice punchy feel.

We also got some great shots together and their favorite one would also be taken to Zimbabwe and have a large mount around it for people to sign, such a cool idea!

Well I can’t wait for their big day in “Zim” what a way to kick off the wedding season in 2010.

This is another option we can offer and really helps if you feel a bit uneasy about having your photograph taken, Basically we meet up at a venue somewhere (even your wedding venue if you like) where you  feel comfortable, very informal dress code and just have fun. It really helps people to relax being around a camera on their big day and we also get some great casual shots.

Laura & Marc who I had booked in for their wedding contacted me to ask if I could do this as they said “they felt they didn’t look very good in pictures!!” Can you believe this, just how good looking are they.

We visited a little area I knew would make a great backdrop as it had very urban feel and nice old brick work, we all had good laugh and I suppose it only took maybe a 2 hours max, Laura and Marc were very professional but also relaxed into having their photo taken and I knew then we were going to have a blast on their wedding day, and we did, check out the later blogs…

  

Wedding date 25th July – come on!!
