Yesterday, I had a wander along the Embankment and South Bank with Nicola and Chris to capture some relaxed portraits of them both before their wedding in March.  As creative types {Nicola is a picture editor and Chris is a toy designer ~ how cool!} they thought some pictures by the Tate Modern gallery would work well, so we headed in that direction.  They also love the Victorian elements along the South Bank, such as the gorgeous ornate lamp-posts, so we incorporated those into the pictures too.  Despite the grey and chilly weather, we had fun roaming around the South Bank book market and in the skater park, where walls of bright colour gave great picture opportunities along with gorgeous natural light.

Pre-wedding shoots are a great addition to the modern wedding photography experience and I think that they are so useful that I include them as complimentary in my main package.

I’m really looking forward to Chris and Nicola’s wedding, especially as they are keen to spend a good amount of time capturing portraits of them both.  Photography is really important to them which makes me love my job even more.

I am really pleased with these images and wanted to blog them as soon as possible.  I am also slightly in love with Nicola’s boots…

To Nicola and Chris ~ roll on March!
