A little pre wedding shoot in the heart of Wales. These two wonderful people were up for anything so after a wonderful shoot we finished in freezing water for this image, a great day and a wonderful location. Ready for their big day now!

Capture My Big Day
A romantic elopement in Northern Ireland which was met by rain all day. For a few brief moments, the weather cleared and I and the couple were able to make our way to Dunluce Castle. At the cliff edge, the coastline was clear and crisp. As the couple embraced the cliffs in the background created a nice symmetry with the couple which created a powerful scene.

Captured at Wrenbury Hall at the end of the evening as their last photo. Using the hanging lights as an ambient feature a flash was positioned behind the couple to create a silhouette and light up the trees a little. To finish the scene white smoke was introduced to add some drama to the image.

This was a super quick capture as the bride and groom left the venue, waiting for them was rows of guests with confetti in hand. Shooting at 16mm the doors of the entrance framed the image nicely and little gust of wind gave the vale life.

Captured at sunset, on the Capesthtrone Hall Estate using our drone. I decided to wait until the sun was just low enough so the sky had the right soft colour and the perfect bridge reflection was cast into the water.

Captured in the Yorkshire Dales overlooking the bride's old stomping grounds. The couple braved the gap in a storm and embraced the high winds. Using natural light only I took a step back to find a gap behind a rounded stone wall, the design of which is typical for Yorkshire farms to frame the couple.
