Pre – Wedding Photography at Lainston House Hampshire

I first met Ricky and Louise at a wedding fayre earlier this year and I’m pleased to say they hired me to photograph their wedding in October. As part of all my wedding packages I offer a complimentary engagement or pre – wedding photography shoot. This is a great way for me to get to know the couple better and also helps them to feel at ease with me and relax in front of the camera. Ricky and Lousie have chosen to get married at the exquisite Lainston House in Hampshire and chose to have their pre-wedding photographs taken in the grounds. This enabled us to share ideas about the wedding photography on the day and together we sought out locations for photographs. Louise was keen to have photos taken during the ‘golden hour’ before the sun went down and after last week’s cloud and rain we weren’t sure if there would be any sun at all… but we kept an eye on the weather and arranged a time to meet and I think Louise might just have got her wish Ricky and Louise make a lovely couple and it was great to hear about how they met and all the details they’ve planned for their wedding. Ricky and Louise told me that their wedding photography is really important to them (of course) as it’s such an important day and they wanted amazing photos to remember it by… and also to share with the grand children one day. The best part is, they’ve set some time aside in their day to have some beautiful portrait photos taken of just the two of them in the house and around the grounds. Not only will Ricky and Louise benefit from gorgeous photos of the two of them on their wedding day; this time will also give them room to breathe and catch their breath on a wonderful whirlwind of a day. This is often the time during the day when couples stop to gather their thoughts and take it all in… it’s the time when they say, ‘Wow, we’re married!’ I’m really looking forward to photographing this wedding and can’t wait to share some of the photos with you… but for now, here’s some of my favourites from Friday… Please feel free to leave comments below
