Having travelled down from Leeds that afternoon to visit family I decided to make the short journey to see them and hand over their wedding album personally. The album is a 15×12″ contemporary matted book made in Australia and features a graphite metal cover with a distressed mocca leather spine and white leaves. The album itself is visually stunning and Katy and Rob made a great choice in selecting the materials from our extensive range of leathers, metals and woods. Of course the images inside the album tell a wonderful story of their day and Rob remarked how much it brought back the memories he has of his wedding.

Katy and Rob now have the pleasure of showing their album off to family and friends.

Here are some photos of their wedding album cover and inside leaves:

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 !
