Brockholes Preston - Pre Wedding Session

Yesterday I met with the awesome Nicola & Kaz, who's wedding I'm documenting in a few weeks, at The Villa, Wrea Green, near Lytham, St Annes. Nicola & Kaz don't see each other too often due to their career circumstances, but they make sure they spend their time well when they do get the chance to catch up!x

Nature Themed Photo Shoot

Nicola & Kaz decided to choose Brockholes Nature Reserve in Preston for their session. We started by walking along the nature trails, taking some fun and natural photos. Eventually we made our way down to overlook the beautiful River Ribble, which made for a stunning backdrop for the relaxed photos we captured. We finished off by heading across to the lake, whilst passing plenty of wildlife along the way. We captured some romantic images on the jetty, which overlooks the Brockholes lake.

Preston Engagement Photography

I love meeting again with each of my couples before the wedding day. The pre wedding sessions really help to get any nerves or awkwardness out of the way, and for the couple to just feel themselves in front of the camera on their special wedding day. I really enjoy creating meaningful relationships with each couple, as this ensures the photographs are authentic to the couple and their relationship together. See some more examples of my pre-wedding work on my Capture You page.

Hayley & Richards Engagement Session - Miller Park Preston

One of the reasons I love my job is because of the fact I get to work with fun, laid back and genuinely lovely people. Hayley & Richard pretty much summarise those three things. 

These guys know how to enjoy time together. Hayley and Richard work in highly time consuming jobs, which sometimes means they don't see each other for weeks on end. You can tell after being with them for 5 minutes how much they value each others company (..and Eric's obviously!), and how they make the most of the time they have together.

After being together for over 10 years, Richard decided to make it official by proposing to Hayley along the same riverbanks we met at yesterday. He even made a giant custom proposal sign! What a guy.

Myself, Hayley, Richard and their big man (English bulldog) Eric met up in sunny Preston at Avenham & Miller park, for their pre-wedding engagement session. The legend who is Eric decided to take us all on a tour of the park and its colourful areas, which we decided to stop off at along the way and grab some natural and fun photos. Nothing staged, just nice and easy. 

I can't wait to photograph Hayley & Richard's big day, and  see them tie the knot very soon. Here's a few teaser images from our meet-up yesterday ahead of their wedding day!

Jo, Mark & Mia's Family Photoshoot in Goosnargh, near Longridge, Preston

Well what a blast that was! I travelled out to Goosnargh, near Longridge, Preston, today to meet my great friends Jo & Mark, and photograph their little girl, Mia-Rose. She’s beautiful!

The weather was just fantastic; warm & sunny! To add to the amazing weather, their house looks out towards Beacon Fell, which provides a stunning view. We started with some photos within the house to get Mia used to the camera, then made our way outside to the garden to capture some summer-feeling images.

Jo, Mark, it was lovely to catch up with you, and meet your beautiful little girl, Mia.
