These are just a few of the images from a wedding pre-shoot that I did in the studio a few weekends ago. This beautiful bride-to-be screamed out to be photographed close up and as soon as I adjusted the lighting to suit her I knew that I was going to get a good image.
This young lady is going to make my job at the wedding easy!
I don't normally tag my wedding images with the "beauty tag", but in this case I will make a well justified exception.

Of course I had to create a more masculine image of the groom-to-be, so I captured this one of him with his bride-to-be in the background.
I just love this sort of photography and being able to get portraits of interesting people like this all day!
For the final image I wanted something moody, so I got them to stand in front of the wall and lit them with a very focussed light.
The pre-shoot is an essential part of the build up to the wedding. We use the time to show the best stance for the couple for their wedding images. This goes a long way to reduce the stress on the big day and helps improve the wedding album.
