Pre-wedding Photography Session London | Veena + Kris
Pre-wedding Photography Session London
One of the things I love about my job, is that it’s so varied. I might spend one week photographing weddings in Israel, and then head back for a pre-wedding photography session London, before heading over to an engagement photography shoot in Oxford.
A pre-wedding photoshoot gives you the chance to get used to the camera. On your wedding day, it won’t just be me pointing a camera at you. You’ll find every guest gets a little snap happy, and you’ll probably spend most of the day being photographed. A pre-wedding shoot is the perfect opportunity to practice your best smile, work out which is your most photogenic side, and try out different poses for the camera.
It’s also a great opportunity to get better acquainted with your wedding photographer. As your photographer, it’s my job to know what style of photography you love, and to fill a wedding album with it. A pre-wedding shoot gives me the chance to work this out. We will spend some time discussing styles, set ups and locations, and then I’ll get started taking photos.
Your wedding venue probably offers a variety of breath-taking backdrops for wedding photos, but a pre-wedding photoshoot can allow a little more exploration. We can visit the location of your first date, your favourite cafe, or your home - anywhere you want. You won’t have the same level of freedom on your wedding day, because you’ll need to stay close to your venue. So if you’ve always wanted an artistic shot of the two of you re-enacting your first kiss, this is your chance.
You may not have had your photograph taken professionally since your last high school photograph. Now that the braces are off, and the crimpers are safely stored away in the history books, it’s the perfect time to have another shot with a professional photographer. You will end up with an album filled with beautiful photographs of the two of you on your wedding day, but a pre-wedding photography session will leave you with some equally beautiful but less formal shots of you together. If the only photographs you have of the two of you are selfies taken on days out, a pre-wedding photoshoot can fill this void by providing you with some lovely photographs of the two of you as a couple.
pre-wedding photography session London St.Pauls Cathedral
As you can see from the photographs, pre-wedding photography sessions vary from couple to couple. I have travelled across London on pre-wedding photography sessions, taking photographs of couples in the beautiful locations the city has to offer.
One of my favourite artistic shots shows a couple on London’s book barge. The photograph is taken through the window of the barge, so the couple are framed by the barge. The window is off-centre giving the photograph an artistic feel. The couple look as though they’re about to kiss, sharing a private moment when caught on film.
One of my favourite posed shots shows a couple enjoying a dramatic embrace. As we walked around London looking for the perfect place to shoot, we stumbled across a film set. The couple kissed in a swept-off-your-feet sort of a way under the lights of the film set as I photographed them.
One of my favourite candid shots shows a couple chatting. We walked over to the Houses of Parliament because the couple wanted to get some shots in front of the iconic building. As they chatted, I snuck off and took a few photographs of them. The photograph is framed by the brickwork of the walkway, and the Houses of Parliament can be seen in the background behind the couple who are laughing and smiling together.

One couple wanted to relive their first date, so they took me to the pub where they first met. The couple sat together on the very table where they shared their first date, and chatted about their memories of that fateful day, as I photographed them from outside. It’s a great photograph, and will always remind them not only of the first time they met, but also of how excited they were to be getting married when we did the shoot.

Pembroke Lodge Richmond Park Wedding Photography | Lori + James
Pembroke Lodge Wedding Photography
I was invited to photograph the wedding of Lori and James at Pembroke Lodge, a beautiful Georgian mansion sitting inside Richmond Park. For a Pembroke Lodge wedding photographer, there are plenty of unique and breath-taking photo locations to be explored.
The mansion itself sits within 11 acres of stunning gardens, neat lawns and perfect topiary. The inside of this impressive venue boasts historical character such as mahogany doors, ornate fireplaces and huge rooms. From the inside, you can see out across the lawns and gardens, and even across to the beautiful scenery that Richmond Park has to offer.
Lori and James wanted me to capture as much of the day as possible, snapping photos of all of their guests enjoying the celebrations. I started my day with Lori and her bridesmaids. They were staying at the Richmond Gate Hotel, another beautiful Georgian building not far from the wedding venue. Lori, her mum and the bridesmaids were all kitted out in matching pyjamas when I arrived to photograph them getting ready.

At the beautiful wedding venue (it really is wonderful to be a Pembroke Lodge wedding photographer), I waited near the front of the room, ready to photograph Lori as the walked down the aisle. I was taking some reportage style photos of the guests as they waited for the bride, when I noticed Lori and her father materialise in the doorway at the back of the room. They weren’t quite ready to walk down the aisle, and Lori was busy composing herself. The wedding guests were totally unaware, and continued to chatter away amongst themselves, as Lori took relaxing breaths in the distance. It was a beautiful moment, and one I couldn’t help capturing with my camera. The resulting photograph is beautiful, and I hope it will always remind Lori of how she felt at that moment, gazing into the room filled with friends and family, as she was about to take her first steps towards married life.
There’s a lovely photo that really captures the love between Lori and James. I pride myself on capturing those special, in between moments at a wedding - the sideways glances and the hand squeezes. My favourite in between moment from this wedding album shows Lori and James at the wedding breakfast. As the guests chatted excitedly, and servers rushed around with food, Lori gazed at James with a look of unmistakable besotted love.
Children are always fun at weddings. As they run barefooted, muddy-dressed and free through the grounds of picturesque venues, or sit whispering under the tables as the adults above them enjoy another glass of champagne. As I was taking photographs of the dance floor, trying to capture the fun and mood of the guests at the party that night, I stumbled across two very sweet little guests. As the adults around them slow danced to a romantic number, these two little girls wrapped their arms around each other and giggled as they mimicked the dancing.
Wedding Photography at Pembroke Lodge in Richmond Park in London by Adamsphotoart
One of my favourite props to use in wedding photos is nature. Few things are more beautiful than a setting sun, or the glow of sunlight pouring through the leaves of a towering tree. As a Pembroke Lodge Richmond Park wedding photographer, I was able to really make the most of all that nature had to offer. I took the happy couple on a stroll around the gardens, taking photographs of them as they enjoyed each other’s company in this tranquil and picture perfect setting.
One of my favourite photographs from Lori and James’ big day shows the two of them enjoying a private moment late in the night. One of the great things about photographing a wedding from start to finish, is that I can get the most out of all that both daylight and moonlight have to offer. Lori and James wrapped their arms around each other and danced on the terrace outside Pembroke Lodge. They were lit by a single spot light from the lodge, and were surrounded by the silhouettes and darkness of the woodland trees creeping in. Behind them, framed by the great trees, was an absolutely beautiful sky as the sun set. The resulting photograph is beautiful, the couple look striking and romantic as they enjoy a private moment, under the deep blues, oranges and reds of nature’s sky.
