Hey folks, this week has been busy catching up with editing and an influx of pre wedding shoots. I love these, as they give me a real insight to my couples and how they interact with each other and the camera. I lean how far I can push them, how they need to be prompted and how much they love or hate the camera.
Bourne Woods, located smack dab in the middle of the English countryside, is like a slice of paradise for nature lovers. It’s got the tall trees, winding trails, and that dappled sunlight – a total dream. It’s also the daily stomping ground for my bride to be, who is a pro at dog walking. They knew Bourne Woods would be the perfect spot to get their pre-wedding pics. Who doesn’t love a walk in the woods?
Pre wedding shoot
My Aim with a pre wedding shoot is no fake smiles or awkward poses, just the real deal. The pics screamed authenticity. This wasn’t about being picture-perfect; it was about showing their love as it is, genuine, and full of laughter. The photos are actually the least important part. It’s all about getting to know how we work together. Like one big date and I’m always the third wheel.
In a world where wedding photography can sometimes be a bit stiff, I like to shake that off. We walk, we talk and we goof around. This pre wedding shoot is a refreshing reminder that love is all about the spontaneous moments, fun, and just going with the flow. We don’t have to over think anything. So, when you’re planning your pre-wedding shoot, take a tip from Kerri and Andy- pick a location that’s meaningful to your love story.
Natural moments, friends, that’s the real magic!
