Katie and Ben pre-wedding shoot

I recently shot Katie and Ben's pre-wedding shoot on the SouthBank in London - always a good location and handy for those who work in London itself.

Katie and Ben will be getting married 22/05/2010 at St Lawrence's church in Abbots Langley and then having their reception at Hunton Park Hotel near Watford.

Gemma and Craig pre-wedding shoot

On a hot, sunny Sunday I met up with Gemma and Craig for a 'try before you buy' pre-wedding shoot. Gemma and Craig had expressed an interest in meeting up to discuss their wedding plans with me, seeing some example albums and going out for a shoot.

We headed out to Greenwich park for a two hour stroll around in the sunshine. Although I had a quick look on the net at the park, I'd never been there so scouted the venue 'on the fly' as we went....

Due to most of London being in the park, we couldn't really use many of the classic shots up by the Observatory, but found some quieter spots before heading down to the Naval College.

This is a great way for prospective clients to get to know me, see how I work, and see results personal to them before they commit to a photographer - getting on with who you choose is just as important as the results they create - you want your big day to be fun and relaxed so you need to have a photographer you get on with.

I really enjoyed the couple of hours we spent together and hope to work with Gemma and Craig - not least because their venue is the best in London....

Jiayi and Ming pre-wedding shoot

I recently re-used the South Bank location in London for a pre-wedding shoot with Jiayi and Ming, prior to their wedding on 16th August.



We took a leisurely stroll along the Thames from London Bridge down to Charing Cross where a well deserved cold beer was enjoyed!

Laura and Andrew Pre-wedding shoot

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting up with Laura and Andrew for a pre-wedding shoot on London's SouthBank. We started from the London Bridge end and walked down to the Oxo tower, getting some great shots on the way but also getting to know each other a bit more.







Despite saying they were nervous, they both did really well and are now more prepared for the big day (maybe it was the glass of wine that helped!)
