Amy & Matty

Well, it's raining again, but yesterday was glorious and sunny in Hebden Bridge, I've got the photos to prove it!  I had a little pre-wedding shoot along the river path with Amy & Matty.  They're getting married in May, and make such a cute couple!  I know I've said it before, but I really do find these pre-wedding shoots invaluable.  We get to try a few shots out, but it's very much about us getting to know each other a bit better, having a chat, having a laugh.  And in Amy and Matty's case, a stone skimming competition too.  

Can't wait for your wedding you two!

Nicky and Ben

I've had some lovely engagement shoots over the past few weeks.  They are a great way for my future wedding couple and me to get to know each other and to have a bit of fun!  Nicky and Ben's shoot back in October was no exception.  We had been emailing quite a bit prior to the shoot about the usual things, location, what to wear etc. and then when I suggested the 15th October for the shoot Nicky wrote straight back to tell me this is the exact date Ben asked her out 7 years ago!  Nicky's Mum and Dad live in beautiful Soyland so we decided to take a walk around the area for the shoot.  Nicky's Mum, Ann joined us and quickly became chief balloon holder and we all ambled down to Millbank woods.  It was so peaceful and the sun was shining through the branches, I love working in this light.  It was a lovely way to spend a couple of hours on a sunny Saturday morning and here's looking forward to the wedding next year!

Chloe & Thomas pre-wedding shoot

When Chloe and Thomas asked to have their pre-wedding shoot in Hardcastle Crags in the spring, I was keeping my fingers crossed for the bluebells! We were in luck and not only that, the sun was shining and their lovely daughter Phoebe came along too!

I love pre-wedding shoots for these moments..

This last image is the one Chloe & Thomas have chosen for their signature board at their wedding in September.  I have the print mounted and guests can leave their messages.  This was a really relaxed shoot with a great couple, can't wait for the big day!
