Abi & Paul’s Torbay beach engagement shoot

What a great time I had photographing Abi & Paul’s engagement shoot prior to their Christmas wedding near Brixham, Devon later in the year. I’m sure you’ll all agree they look great and much in love.

I can’t wait to photograph their wedding day.

My wedding photo of the day

I was going through the many weddings I’ve photographed over the years and realised how exciting it is to view photographs with fresh eyes. Yes they all show my tell tale signs of painterly colour, use of ambient light and atmospheric quality but I can also see how my style and work has evolved.

This particular photo was from a winter wedding on Dartmoor. The day was cold but crisp and the marriage service started just as the light was fading. The reception was held on the high moor and the brides first dance was sung by the original composer and singer of a very well know and popular song – who also happened to be her uncle!

I’ll always remember it as it was amazing and reminds me again why I love weddings so much!

Engagement shoots with every wedding booked

The relationship and reapport you have with your wedding photographer is so important for creating stunning wedding photography on your big day. Thta’s why I find it so important to offer engagement or pre-wedding shoots to couples who book me for their wedding.

Lasting an hour these shoots give me the opportunity to see how a bride and groom interact with each other as well as just great fun!
