Hampton Court Preferred supplier

I must admit it has been hard work to keep this under wraps until Hampton Court made the press release yesterday, but I am delighted to say that I am now a Hampton Court Palace preferred supplier for Wedding and Event photography.  It really is an amazing venue and one in which I hope to  photograph many weddings.  I cannot wait to go back and get some great images in the gardens and interiors that are steeped in history.

It's all part of the service...

One of the most important parts of any wedding preparation for me is having a pre-shoot with each of my couples. 

Although we’ve usually met and talked at some length about their plans and ideas, it is at the pre-shoot that I really get to know the Bride and Groom much better.  As we all know, some people are not comfortable in front of the camera.  I like to get a feel for how they react both with the camera and with each other. 

It’s really important to me that my couples feel comfortable and relaxed on their special day.  I like to find out a bit more about what makes them laugh and give useful guidance on posing so that it feels as natural as possible on the big day.

These pre-shoots don’t take long, are fun and informal and also give the couple the chance to get to know me better and have some wonderful pre-wedding photography too!

Very helpful to nail out any funny smiles or Chandler faces as I call them! 

If you’re reading this as one of my past wedding clients, why not consider some up-to-date photography of you as a couple or even as a growing family?

Here are just a few of the images from pre-shoots that I have been doing recently…
