AVENHAM PARK PRE WEDDING SHOOT, PRESTON

A couple of weeks ago I had a Pre Wedding Photoshoot booked with Alison & Andy up near Rivington and we'd tinkered around with a few ideas of what we wanted to do. Come the day and the heavens opened literally...it was raining and pouring with a vengeance, but we're not wimps, so we changed venues to Avenham Park in Preston (mainly because I knew there was a lot of bridges we could shelter under...haha). A bit further into the morning, Alison's Make-Up Artist failed to show up, so it was a last minute scramble for her to get somebody else, which she did...well done the new MUA btw. 

I finally met the happy couple and their little dog at the Continental. I always think it's nice to know that your wedding photographer can work around taxing circumstances and I did...but it's also marvellous that the wedding couple can give everything a go, try different poses and dare to be different...and they did...BIG TIME!!!! The photos below are just a selection from their Pre Wedding Shoot but if you click on any of the photos in this blog it will take you to the full gallery of a typical Pre Wedding Shoot that I do or you can just click this link: ALISON & ANDY

I shot this first photo in the pouring rain with my trusty brolly tied to me (so my hands were free to use my camera) whilst they were nice and warm in their lovely car. We utilised every available situation from there on in.

Then we went under the railway bridge and managed to get many different shots here...incredibly varied actually. The light was really quite good in parts too even though it was dull and very wet.

I loved how the light caught Alison's face and her eyes are startlingly blue...when she is not laughing (which she does a lot) she has got the most awesome serene face...so there!!

...and Andy...well what can I say about Andy (we actually went to the same school together and discussed in depth the teachers and the shenanigans they they got up to...most fun, haha). Andy reminds me of Chief Brodie from Jaws. he's got a right strong jaw line (no pun intended) and you know when somebody is going to look stonking in Black & White and he did too!!! 

This is my quirky nature coming through. Alison & Andy have military backgrounds and I thought it would be cool to get them standing at ease...and the dog too...this was shot 20+ hahaha. I got my shot though.

I adore unscripted moments...this was Alison being Alison ( a gentle kick for Andy)...she's a little mischief that one hehe!!

No posing...just chatting...they are very natural in front of the camera. 

Awww...very photogenic...all 3 of them...x

Laughter in the rain on the wonky steps at Avenham.

Romancing The Stone...great thing about it being rainy...there was nobody about...woot woot, clear shots!

Dare To Be Different...Who Dares Wins!!!

A great day had by all...x
