Some of you will already know that for pre-wedding locations I love the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Chatsworth gardens and the Northern Quarter in Manchester. There is now another place to add to the list. Read on to find out more…
I met Becky & Warwick outside Festival Hall to run through the details of their day – they are having a church ceremony followed by a marquee wedding in a similar fashion to when Julie and I got married. We then jumped on the river boat to take in some of the London sights and then headed to our final shoot location. Just check out the last two images below – how cool are those backgrounds! If you’re from London you may either know the place or you can probably work it out from the river boat route. If you’re still unsure twitter me, leave a comment or email me and I’ll tell you where it is! :-)
Although Wentworth Castle is on my doorstep it was only recently that I found the opportunity to use the grounds as a location for a pre-wedding shoot. If you’re a photographer or a couple looking for a great location get yourself down there. It’s literally teeming with great backdrops and interesting surroundings.
Below are a few of my favourite images from Jo and Ben’s pre-wedding shoot. It’s not long before they get married at Mosborough Hall in Sheffield. They are a fun couple which always translates in to fantastic images on the day. Very much looking forward to it.
Friends and family can view all the images on our gallery which is at www.randallweddings.co.uk/store. Please ask Jo or Ben for the password or get in contact with us at the studio.
As Georgie and George live in Australia is wasn’t until last week that I got to meet them in person. We met at the Four Seasons Hotel in Hampshire for a catch-up, to scout locations and a quick pre-wedding shoot. It was a *hot* day and the gardens and hotel looked amazing in the midday sun. Hopefully we’ll be blessed with a similar day in a couple of weeks.
Although I know Oxfordshire pretty well I had never been to Eynsham Hall before so was very much looking forward to Lucy & Matt’s wedding. The Grade II listed manor house is located just down the road from Blenheim Palace and is surrounded by beautiful countryside and pretty villages. Just take a look at the image of the church – if that isn’t postcard perfect I don’t know what is.
Matt loves his cars, as do I. On my wedding day I was fortunate enough to have a good friend drive me to church in his Ferrari 328 GTS. Matt decided that he would rather drive himself and somehow managed to get approval from Lucy to hire a Aston Martin DBS for the weekend. Was I jealous… not in the slightest… honest.
Question. is it possible to have to many photos of the Aston?
Julie and I had a fabulous day photographing Lucy and Matt’s wedding. Below are some of my favourites from the day. Friends and family can view all the images on our gallery which is at www.randallweddings.co.uk/store. Please ask Lucy or Matt for the password or get in contact with us at the studio.
Congratulations to both Lucy & Matt

If only every day was like this!
I don’t think Matt was displaying a blue badge in the Aston.
This is the second time I’ve used Sheffield as a backdrop for a pre-wedding session and again it turned out to be a fantastic shoot. Silver and Gen have bags of personality and as you can see from the images they weren’t shy about having a bit of fun – after all that is what the pre-wedding shoot is about. Come the wedding day they’ll have loads of confidence and we’ll be working together to capture amazing images from the moment I arrive.
Silver and Gen’s day is going to be a little different to the usual wedding I shoot. In addition to a church wedding there will be several traditional Chinese wedding ceremonies taking place throughout the day and a large banquet with more courses than I can remember. Oh, and did I also mention Silver has several outfit changes during the day!
I hope you all enjoy the images. Please feel free to leave a comment at the bottom of the post.
