Racheal & Peter

A couple of days ago I had a great morning working with Racheal and Peter. They're getting married in November, but it was their pre-wedding shoot on Saturday.

They chose a currently out of use golf course near their home for the location. Not only did it provide some superb backdrops for the photos but it also gave their beautiful dog Frank the chance to run aroung in familiar surroundings.

I love pre-wedding shoots as a tool for getting to know clients. Most people are pretty nervous in front of the camera to start with, but it's amazing how quickly everyone tends relax into the shoot. It's a great way of building a relationship with them, so that by the time the wedding day comes around we know each other that much better and the clients know what to expect. It also makes for much more natural and relaxed shots if they see me as a friend rather than The Photographer!

Anyway, here are a few images from Saturday. Enjoy!
