Hayley and Chris' Pre-Wedding Shoot at Lyminge Forest

I caught up with Hayley and Chris on a stunning spring’s evening at Lyminge Forest. These guys wanted a woodland location for their pre-wedding shoot and this proved to the ideal spot, with plenty of open space and the golden sun peaking through the trees.

We went for a wander through the forest, pausing at some scenic spots to capture some relaxed portraits of these guys.

I had a great time with these two and can’t wait to capture their big day in early 2024! In the meantime, here are a few of my favourite frames.

Hannah and Ben's pre-wedding shoot at Tankerton Beach

I caught-up with Hannah and Ben on a wintery March afternoon along Tankerton seafront, just past Whitstable.

With the iconic colourful beach huts and the pebbly beach, I spent some time with these guys capturing a series of natural and relaxed shots.

The rain just held off long enough for a quick walk over to Whitstable Castle, where we managed to get a few shots in the gardens.

Kayley and James' pre-wedding shoot at Botany Bay

The phrase ‘it is a small world’ is really suited for how I met Kayley and James; Kayley previously taught my son’s dance lessons and shortly afterwards, I photographed her mum’s wedding!

Following this, Kayley and James booked me to capture their special day, which is planned for St. Augustines in spring 2023. In advance of their big day, I met up with them at Botany Bay for a pre-wedding shoot.

Being mid-September, and given the fact it had rained relentlessly all week, I was a bit apprenhensive on the prospects of a late summer golden hour but we were absolutely blessed with the weather!

We spent an hour or so with them along the Kent coastline, capturing some really relaxed portraits as the sun started to set.

I can’t wait to see these guys next April for their special day, but in the meantime, here are a few of my favourites from this session!

Chloe and Matt's Pre-Wedding Shoot

I met-up with Chloe and Matt 12-months before their big day (planned to be held at the Hythe Imperial Hotel) at Botany Bay, situated along the Thanet coastline.

I really think this beach is Kent’s best kept secret and I always find myself convincing couples and families to hold shoots there.

We caught-up just before sunset and we had the perfect evening for a relaxed walk around the beach, capturing some shots at key spots.

Here are a few of my favourites from the evening!

Claire and Adam's Pre-Wedding Shoot

I caught-up with Claire and Adam in Kingsdown, a picturesque English village located on the outskirts of Deal, Kent for what proved to be stunning pre-wedding shoot.

The weather forecast had been keeping me on my toes, with rain expected throughout the week, but we were blessed with the most stunning golden hour (the rain clouds literally dissipated on our arrival). Based on the stunning light, I had a particular field in mind for their shoot!

It was great hearing all about their wedding plans, which has got me really excited about their big day, whilst these guys were so incredibly relaxed in front of the camera.
