Dorset Engagement Photography (E-Shoot) - like a summers day

I recently met up with Laura and James not too far from me up near Witchampton - this is in between Blandford Forum and Verwood and is a lovely village (where Laura and James will be tying the know later this year and I can't wait!).

This was a great chance for us all to get to know each other a little bit and take that fear out of the wedding photography for Laura and John. Not even nearly losing a camera in the field stopped us getting some awesome photos.

I know this may sound odd at first - "fear"? Let me elabortate; most people aren't used to being photographed at all - add in the fact that it's on the biggest day of their lives and emotions are running high then it can be another "worry" (one i'm keen to dispell by the way!).
So this e-shoot helps take the wedding photography worry away and means that everyone is more relaxed and we end up with even more awesome wedding photographs from the wedding photography itself! We can even dare I say it have fun? I think this is something that wedding photographers can forget as after all we're used to photographing people and not used to being the other side of the lens (more of that in another post I think :)).

So after all that waffle let me show you some of the photos from the engagement photography e-shoot - and Laura and James - See you soon!
