Thanks for checking in. So, our new year has started well and we are well and truly kicking into "Wedding" mode already. On Sunday afternoon we headed out into Dover with Jenny Sutton and Chris Townsend to spend some time getting to know them and shoot their pre-wedding images prior to their wedding on 1st April (and yes, it really is going to happen!)
I (Matt) actually met Jenny a few years ago as her sister was dating one of my housemates from University. As it happens, they are now engaged and due to be married in February 2012, so congrats to you both!
Anyway, back to Sunday...initially it appeared we might get rained off thanks to the 'delightful' Dover weather that has been hanging over us for what seems like weeks now, but we managed to catch a break in the rain and got out there to shoot at our 4 chosen locations. Neither Jenny or Chris had spent any time in or around Dover before, so it was a great opportunity to try out a couple of new places and show them the sights at our chosen spots, including Kearsney Abbey and Russell Gardens.
Both the guys quickly felt at ease in front of the camera, which was awesome to see considering their worries prior to the shoot, having not really spent any time in front of a camera before. This allowed us to be really creative with them and we had a great laugh in the process and I think that comes across in the final collection of images we will be giving them. Plus, it really does make your job as a photographer easier when you say to the bride-to-be "hey, fancy just climbing up that wall there?" and she says.......Yeah sure!!".
For now though, it was decided that these were the shots of the day. The grey, overcast conditions really lent themselves to black and white images and this first one, taken in a quiet corner of the Abbey grounds, really stood out during the edit and is one we are both especially proud of.
Thanks to Jenny and Chris for being being great sports on the days and a great couple to shoot. We can't wait for your wedding to roll around!
Thanks for checking us out, catch you on the flip side.
Matt & Chris
