JAMES & CHARLOTTE PRE WEDDING SHOOT | WESTONBIRT ARBORETUM, GLOUCESTER | BRISTOL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Last year on a beautifully crisp Autumn day I had the pleasure of meeting James & Charlotte at Westonbirt Arboretum for their Pre-Wedding photoshoot. And as a total bonus, they brought April, their gorgeous golden retriever along to steal the show.

Westonbirt Arboretum is about as perfect as a backdrop can get, and in Autumn it is a wedding photographers dream, with dappled light, sun-kissed openings and colours in every direction it is a joy to visit (especially for work). This day was no exception, we were even lucky enough to get a little rain, which made for some stunning images.

I love it when couples opt to have a pre-wedding photoshoot, it is a great way for me and them to get to know each other and put them at ease with what to expect on their big day. Ahead of a wedding I often hear ‘I take a really bad picture’ or ‘we are really uncomfortable in front of a camera’, but the reality is if you can look at each other, hold hands, walk and have a kiss then you are golden, leave everything else up to me. Your Wedding day will be really busy and you will be far too involved enjoying the best day ever to notice I am taking photographs.

Also, pre-wedding shoots are really really fun. If you are interested in booking one, GET IN TOUCH
