🏖️ Why a Pre-Wedding Shoot is a Must! 🏖️

Back in June, I had the absolute joy of capturing Stacey & Tyler at the breathtaking Woolacombe Beach and town. The golden sand, the charming streets, and those magical coastal vibes—what more could we ask for? Oh and we had a gorgeous sunny evening 😎😍
But beyond the stunning location, pre-wedding shoots are about so much more than just gorgeous photos. Here’s why they’re a game-changer for your wedding journey:

💬 Get Comfortable in Front of the Camera
Let’s be honest—being photographed can feel a bit awkward at first! A pre-wedding shoot gives us time to break the ice, laugh together, and get you totally comfortable before the big day. By the time your wedding rolls around, you’ll feel like total pros.

📸 Build a Connection with Your Photographer (That’s Me!)
This is our chance to get to know each other better. You’ll see how I work, and I’ll learn what makes you both light up in front of the lens. It’s like a little warm-up for the main event!

⏰  During the Off-Season
Summer might seem perfect for dreamy photos, but it’s also peak wedding season for me. A pre-wedding shoot earlier in the year or during quieter months can give us space to focus fully on creating something magical—without the wedding day rush.

💖 Memories Beyond the Wedding
Woolacombe gave Stacey & Tyler the perfect backdrop for capturing their love story before they said ‘I do.’ These photos are more than a prelude to the wedding—they’re a celebration of your journey together.

Thinking about a pre-wedding shoot? Let’s make it happen! Whether it’s on a windswept beach, in a cozy countryside town, or somewhere that’s special to you, I’m here to make it unforgettable.

Not going to lie, I’m definitely missing summer vibes! Here’s a little throwback to Stacey & Tyler’s gorgeous wedding at Clevedon Hall to warm you up. ☀️

This weekend is a rare one off for me, and it’s a bit weird not being behind the camera for the next couple of weeks. Ready to recharge for all the upcoming weddings! 📸✨

Aimee & John – 03/11/24 🫶✨

These two travelled from far and wide to tie the knot at the breathtaking St Audries Park, surrounded by their favorite people. And though the weather decided to throw a rainy twist into the day. When evening rolled in, we got outside and captured some epic shots.

Jade & Steve – 04/11/24 🥂

Yesterday’s wedding was an absolute joyride! These two were a total blast to be around, with endless laughs and so much warmth. The weather mostly played nice, giving us just enough time to capture some fun outdoor shots (even if we did get a bit chilly!). Big love to you both for being so brilliantly lush and bringing all the good vibes! 🫶

Friday’s wedding was an absolute blast! A sprinkle of déjà vu, plenty of familiar faces, and a whole new crowd of wonderful people made Ben & Nicci’s big day one to remember. These two tied the knot at the Sessions House, surrounded by their wonderfully wild, fun-loving friends and family. It was an absolute joy to be back capturing all the laughs, hugs, and happy tears with such a fantastic group.

✨ Wow, how gorgeous is this moment?! 😍📸

I’ve been a bit quiet on the ‘gram lately, taking a little breather from weddings—it felt so odd not capturing a love story this weekend! 🎥 But no rest for the wicked... I’ve been deep in the edit cave, working on galleries and getting all those special memories delivered to my amazing couples 💌 Plus, sneaking in some family time, which has been lush!

But the break’s over—next stop, Lincolnshire for a wedding this weekend! Can’t wait for this one, and it’s a road trip with my lovely wife too! 🚗💫

Anna & James – 10/10/24 💍✨

Yesterday, these two legends tied the knot on their 10th anniversary! Talk about making it easy to remember future anniversaries—genius move, guys! 😎 It was such an amazing day, and I had a blast hanging out with all their lovely friends and family who made me feel so welcome. Oh, and the sunshine? Totally wasn’t in the forecast, but it showed up anyway—thanks, weather gods! ☀️

Massive congrats, Anna & James! Thank you for letting me capture your beautiful day. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness together! 💕

Feeling very grateful!! 🫶

I wouldn’t be up for this award if it wasn’t for all you lovely people! Seriously, thank you so much for taking the time to vote – it means the world. 🥹💛
Whatever happens, I already feel like a winner because I get to do the best job in the world!
This year, like last, has been a rollercoaster 🎢—with lots of highs and some tough moments too.

Swipe to the third pic… it’s of one of my incredible brides. It was at the end of the night, and after I said goodbye, she thanked me with so much emotion. We both shed a tear together 😢. This moment was especially touching because just two days before her wedding, my wife had lost her dad, and her support meant everything to me on the day of the wedding. She was very grateful that I still made her wedding. ( which was stunning)

2025 is already fully booked, and 2026 is filling up fast – WOW, I’m beyond grateful for this crazy, amazing journey. That’s the real award for me! But hey, if I do win, that’ll be the icing on the cake 🎂. Honestly though, I’m just excited to meet all the other incredible photographers up for this award, have a few drinks 🍻, and catch up—it’s been a minute!

Here’s to doing what you love and sharing the ride with amazing people! 🤍

Absolutely EPIC night! 💃🕺 I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bride and groom glued to the dance floor like these two – they just couldn’t get enough of their tunes 🎶 And neither could their friends and family! Talk about a party that never slowed down. Hands down, one of the most fun nights I’ve had shooting a wedding! 😍✨

Leonie & Harrison | 29/09/24 🫶

Yesterday was an absolute blast with these two legends at the stunning St Audries Park! 🌿✨ Funny story — I actually met Leonie last year when I captured her mum’s wedding, so being back with their beautiful family felt like a little reunion. 🥰

The weather? Oh, it was ALL kinds of bonkers! 🌧️🌞 But nothing could stop Leonie & Harrison’s determination to make it the BEST day ever! 🎉

A massive thank you to these two for trusting me to capture such an epic day! Feeling so lucky to have been part of your story. 💍📸

Their love and joy were unstoppable!
