I made the trip to both the church and reception venue for Philippa and Alistair’s wedding today with a view of getting a good look around as both of the venues are new to me, and then also to meet up with Philippa and Alistair for their pre-wedding shoot and detailed planning meeting. Both were stunning, and after a good recce we shot some lovely relaxed images as well as running through the classical wedding photography images to give them both the confidence that they will look great on the day and to get some practice at having a camera pointed at them.
The Gate Street Barn is a wonderful venue – lovely mature gardens and some great barn buildings to give variety and colour to the images and I can’t wait to shoot their wedding in August !
Here are a small selection of the images from the pre-wedding shoot !
