I got to know this wonderful family in the run up to their special day by taking them all out on a family pre-wedding shoot, which was so much fun! The family fun continued on their wedding day and it was a real pleasure to be there to capture all their special moments.
Thanks you Natalie and Paul for your lovely testimonial and I look forward to photographing your family again in the years to come!
At the beginning of 2017 I took a moment to reflect back through some of my work from over the last couple of years and noticed how the beautiful British seasons featured boldly throughout many of the portraits I'd taken. Between wedding shoots I am lucky enough to photograph people in all stages of life from newly engaged couples to expectant mothers, right through to large family groups (with every age and stage in-between)! The diversity in nature and unique backdrops offered by a variety of locations such as woodlands, beaches, and vast distant landscapes, alongside our ever-changeable english climate mean I always have loads of great variables to play with. Clients often ask me, "Where should we have our portraits taken and which is the best time of year?" Great questions. Personally I think every season can offer wonderful and differing opportunities that ensure a unique story is told through the images, and this I think is personal for every client. Not only the season but the time of day with it's shifting light opportunities plays a part when planning a portrait shoot, even the decor in a client's home can be a factor that can determine what kind of images will be hung on the wall!
So back in March 2014 you may remember reading all about Nikki and Glenn and their 'Life Story in Pictures'. As another chapter has developed I thought I had better keep you updated! Capturing this family's journey as it unfolds has been a delight and such a privilege to watch and share.
The story began with Nikki & Glenn's engagement which I shot locally in the winter of 2011. This was followed by their beautiful summer wedding at Stansted House in Hampshire. I then learnt several months on that they were expecting, and were keen to capture this amazing time in pictures, in anticipation of their first child being born. So that's where the story was left and we have all been wondering ever since what happened in the next chapter…
