The beautiful forest location and extensive grounds of Rhinefield House on the Hampshire Dorset borders of the New Forest creates the perfect backdrop for Sarah and Erins’ pre wedding shoot for their autumnal wedding this October.

Sarah and Darren on a deserted Sandbanks Beach enjoying a sunny Tuesday afternoon pre wedding shoot.

A very content Katie and 10 day old Lewis having his out-of-bump portrait. Apparently Lewis only stopped crying as soon as he got to our studio? It must be our calming manner. Who said don’t work with children and animals?

Miss Ingredient’s Red Velvet Cupcakes had this Sundays creative treatment. Up lit by the red glow of the iPad to match the indulgent bourgeoisie nature of this opulent cake which is to die for. This cake has to be included in one if the seven deadly sins. But I cannot figure out if it falls into greed, lust or gluttony? Maybe its all three.

On a dull and frosty February day it was a good opportunity to travel over to the lovely maritime town of Lymington in the New Forest in preparation for Alison and Gary’s March wedding at Stanwell House Hotel.

A beautiful and atmospheric setting for her small and intimate vintage styled wedding next month.

All photographers should be aware of semiotics, photographers should know how to read a photograph and deconstruct an image. A photograph is read as if it were a piece of text; signs and codes within a picture have cultural, iconic, metaphorical and symbolic connotations. A photographer should also have the skill to construct an image which has a denotative and a connotative text that underpins the photograph.

In Monday’s pre wedding shoot, Jenna and Gary have a relaxed and natural pose with the beautiful backdrop of the river at Christchurch Harbour. Their posture and body language shows that they are comfortable being in each others personal space and indicates they are very close emotionally. Their stance and posture is very equally balanced, representative of their relationship.

There are many messages in this photograph. The swan in the foreground has the symbolic meaning of love, purity and represents an extremely strong bond, swans have one partner for life. The steps mean that they have reached their summit of pre wedding preparations and are ready for the ceremony.

Time will fly by and their wedding day in August at the Captains Club will soon be here. I am looking forward to the Big Day!

Laura and Anthony walking the beautiful grounds of the Chewton Glen wedding venue and luxury hotel in the New Forest last Saturday. An important part of a pre-wedding photo shoot is to talk about the  timings and intricacies of the Wedding Day and to put everybody at their ease.

Armed with a brolly, just in case the heavens opened on this blustery Wednesday afternoon, a relaxed Janine and David had a walk about from the Greenhouse Hotel to a few of Bournemouth’s hidden gem locations. As a photographer, I am constantly squirrelling away potential quiet spots with unspoilt backdrops which could be used for a rainy day. I am looking forward to your special day in June!

Last nights Wedding Industry Awards 2012 at the Cafe de Paris in Piccadilly, London. I attended with my wife, Miss Ingredient as she had won the Regional Award for Cake Designer in the South West of England.
