Engagement Shoots

Hello there, me again! I was asked recently to put together some favourite photos from recent shoots and it got me looking back through some of the engagement shoots I have done with couples who have recently got married.The shoots are really good fun as we use the grounds around my office at Stoke Rochford (just around the corner from Stoke Rochford Hall - see some of Hayley and Mark's photographs from their wedding at Stoke Rochford Hall here).
The grounds have some fab old buildings, with some glorious textures and colours. There are even a couple of old barns with some old farm equipment that I can use.
The shoots are a great opportunity for couples to get used to being in front of the camera especially if (like me!) they are a little camera shy! It also gives us all the chance to get to know each other a little better so on the day, things go swimingly and the camera isn't too scary.

It also means I know just how to approach the photography on the big day. Check out the recent weddings pages over the next few weeks and months to see how these gorgeous couples looked in their wedding photos. I think you'll see what I mean!

Bye for now.

I'm Back

Hi Everyone,

I'm back and blogging again with the plan (again) to be blogging more often and keeping you up-to-date with what is happening at PureLight towers.

It has been a really hectic but really enjoyable couple of months, I've met and shot weddings for some great couples at venues that I love and am lucky enough to shoot at quite often, and also shot weddings at new venues for me which have been fab!!

In addition to shooting other people's weddings, Mr Sam and I are busy carrying on with our own wedding plans. 100 days or so and counting!!! So much to do and so little time but we seem to be getting there. Now if only Mr Sam will choose what he and his party want to wear. Honestly, he is worse than me in choosing my dress and bridesmaids dresses! I will keep you posted!

Here are a few photos from recent weddings:-

Here are a couple from Genna and Jody's wedding earlier int he Summer. They had a fab day with the ceremony down Lincoln and the reception in Norton Disney afterwards.












It turns out that Norton Disney is the home seat of the Disney family from whom Walt was descended!!!

I was lucky enough to shoot again at Allington Manor recently for Esther and Roberts day.

Robert and his party started the day off down at the local pub with his groomsmen whilst Esther was getting ready at the Manor. Fortunately, I had a second shooter (thanks Chris) with me on the day which meant that whilst I was with Esther we were able to get some images of how the chaps were getting ready for the wedding!















See you all soon - I promise.

S.
