Katie & Tom | Sheffield Botanical Gardens Pre-wedding Photography

When we met up with Katie and Tom for their pre-wedding shoot at Sheffield Botanical Gardens, it was the first time we’d met. When Katie and Tom booked us they were living in New Zealand and so all our communication up until this point had been just by email, so it was nice to finally put a face to the type on the screen, and we started off in Starbucks for a chat first before walking up to Botanical Gardens for some pretty nice early evening sun. It was great getting to know the happy couple as we strolled around while chatting and taking some pictures, and we’re really looking forward to shooting their wedding at Sheffield Millenium Galleries in a few weeks time. Here’s a flavour of the shoot!

Laura & Matiss | Liverpool Engagement Photography

Laura and Matiss’s pre-wedding shoot saw us stepping foot in Liverpool for the first time. We started off in a quirkly little bistro where Erica and I ordered what turned out to be the mother of all pancakes….we thought ‘let’s have a little bit of breakfast before the shoot’…well, let me tell you this was no pancake for the faint-hearted…a huge buttermilk pancake, filled with oats and bananas…But back to the shoot; Laura and Matiss are an affectionate couple and interacted so nicely with each other in front of the camera. They were a little apprehensive beforehand as most of our clients are, but they were soon the consummate professionals and it was great to be able to be there to quietly document them together. Laura and Mattis are soon to be married at the Palm House in Liverpool and we’re really looking forward to being there. See you soon you two!

Laura and Matiss: not ones to let a bit of rain ruin a good game of Scrabble…

I love this one below.

Laura and Mattis were very easy as clients. Their sole requirement? A jumping shot. I would call this more flying than jumping.

Mary-Anne - This is such a cute shoot – love the scrabble in the rain!

Jen & Tom’s Wedding | Beautiful by Design | Sneak Preview

We knew from our pre-wedding shoot with Jen and Tom that their wedding would be a very special affair.  And not just because we knew Jen’s design flair would be evident in all the gorgeous details she had planned, but mainly because they were such genuinely lovely people.  It was a true pleasure getting to know them, and we enjoyed spending more time with them on their wedding day, which was just as gorgeous as we knew it would be.  Just a sneak preview for now – we hope you enjoy them Jen and Tom – with more to follow.
