Sunset Engagement Photo Shoot @ Southerndown

Can’t believe I haven’t shown this fabulous shoot off until now…

Lauren and Levi had to move their wedding from 2020 (thanks covid) and then from 2021 (restrictions still causing issues) so they settled on 2023. I will be sharing their wedding soon, but for now have their pre shoot. Because we added an extra 2 years to wait, it meant more planning could be done!!

We timed the sunset perfectly and walked around the beach and fields.

This shoot was definitely worth the wait. <3

Alexandra Gardens Cardiff Pre Shoot with Rose & Gareth

I always get asked what happens during the pre wedding photo shoots, so I try to share them as much as I can!

Here is a shoot I did in the summer of 2021 with these two love birds! We had a lovely walk around the gardens behind City Hall and Cardiff Museum.

It involved a lot of laughing, joking around and hugs <3 I try to keep it fun and natural.

Nirosha & Dafydd London Lockdown Wedding

The clue is in the title!

I drove to London to capture the beautifully creative day of Nirosha and Dafydd! We met when I did their engagement photo shoot in around Caerphilly castle over a year ago (which involved many outfit changes and different coloured balloons!)

They got married in Temple Church and we had free reign of inner temple for photos and then to middle temple for a picnic and more photos! Also manged to capture a wonderful sunset on the Victoria Embankment over the Thames.

Here is a collection of my favourites from the day! Completely in love with this set <3

Summer Sunset Photo Shoot with Emily & Jake

Carrying on with the importance of pre wedding photo shoots, and practising for your big day! We were so lucky with this absolutely fabulous sunset down Southerndown Beach.

Getting Emily and Jake warmed up for their wedding last year and they smiled through this entire photo shoot and their wedding. The pre shoots are also good for me so I can see what you are like in front of the camera and I know what I’m working with ready for your special day.

Every pre shoot is different and I go with the flow on how comfortable you both are.

But guaranteed you’ll get beautiful images at the end!

That sunset though! dam…

Autumnal Photo Shoot with Alex & Tom

When you book a full day wedding with me, I include a pre-wedding photo shoot. These are so so SO important!

I get to see what you guys are like in front of the camera and you get to see what I’m like behind the camera. I call it a “training day for your wedding day”! You get used to me, become more comfortable with me, and if you have never had professional photos done before, it helps!

Also having someone take photos of you as you go around on a dog walk can be REALLY weird and I want to make it feel completely normal to you.

I want you to smile, laugh, have fun and pose your butt off! We go wherever you want to go, bring the kids or the doggies and lets get you some beautiful photos!

Alex & Tom rocked their pre-wedding photo shoot! They asked if I could simply join them on a dog walk. As their wedding was all about their fluffy babies, it made sense! It was a drizzly horrible day, but nothing we didn’t mind tromping through. I was advised by Alex to wear wellies…

And what a location! The walk had no name (that we knew of…) and was hidden away from everyone. As we walked deeper and deeper into this magical forest, it opened up into a mass of orange and reds! It was outstanding and I think the photos show it.

If you’re a fan of autumn, then these are the pictures for you.
