Planning outdoor photo shoots has not been easy with the recent British summer weather, but last weekend Christina, Ben and I managed to avoid the rain to shoot their engagement photos on a walk through Chantry Woods near Guildford. Christina and Ben are getting married in October at one of my favourite venues, the Elvetham, so I’m looking forward to seeing them again on the big day.

Here are a few shots from their engagement photo shoot on Saturday.

Gill and Tony are getting married at St Leonard’s church in Cliddesden in July, with a reception at Audleys Wood Hotel. I met them in Basingstoke on a scorching Sunday morning last weekend for their engagement photo session. These sessions are very worthwhile, as they help couples to feel more relaxed about their wedding photos when they see that having your photo taken doesn’t have to be an ordeal and can actually be fun. All of my wedding couples get one of these shoots included in their photography package and they also get to keep the photos.

Here are a few shots from my walk around Basingstoke town centre with Gill and Tony, who soon got into the spirit of it and had a few laughs.

Clare and Andy’s big day is only six weeks away now and we met up at Crabtree Plantation in Old Basing on Sunday morning for a walk in the sunshine and a practice session for their wedding photography. The kids joined in too for some family portraits as well as the usual couple shots. Here are a few shots from Sunday morning and I’m now looking forward to the wedding at Lainston House Hotel, Winchester in June.
