Pre Wedding shoot for Charley and Huw at Culeaze Manor in Dorset. A beautiful location for a wedding on 30th June this year. This house has so many hidden and secret gardens with lovely dappled light throughout.

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!
