Pre-Wedding Shoot

The last thing you should be thinking about on your wedding day is the camera.

It’s common to hear, “We’re awkward in photos,” or “We don’t know what to do.” That’s completely normal. Most couples feel that way.

The simplest way to change that is to spend a little time together beforehand.

Around three months before the wedding, we arrange a pre-wedding shoot. It’s relaxed and straightforward — a chance to get used to being photographed without pressure, and to see how little effort is actually required from you. No complicated posing, no overthinking. Just guidance where needed and space to be yourselves.

It also means that by the time your wedding day arrives, there’s familiarity rather than nerves.

Afterwards, we usually grab a coffee and talk through your plans in more detail. It’s an easy opportunity to ask questions, share ideas and make sure everything is clear. When the day comes, you can focus on enjoying it — knowing the photography is already taken care of.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The Ssssions are a relaxed affair so think about how you want your images to look and dress appropriately. Bear in mind that there will be some walking involved during the shoot.

    The usual would be smart casual and avoid crazy patterns, unless you like that!

  • I try to keep the shoot to around an hour but we will also need to sit down and fill out some notes about the big day.  Plan in around 2 hours in total but this can over run.

     If you wish to choose a location there is a charge of £50.

    It can be great way for the kids to meet me prior to the Wedding. Do bear in mind though that they may get a bit bored!

    Do feel free to bring a grandparent or someone to keep the tearaways entertained to make sure you get the most out of the session.
