Steph & Rob Pre-wedding Photos – Kew Gardens, Surrey

Stewart Randall — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 13:36:57 +0000

I met Steph and Rob at Kew Gardens for their pre-wedding shoot a few weeks back – apologies for delay in posting guys… crazy season!

Kew Gardens is another fantastic place for photos as there are so many different backdrops to use. Would you like a jungle location? No problem. Eastern Pagoda? Yep, got one of those too. There are literally thousands of places to take photos from the Temparate House, the Palm House, the Orangery and of course Kew Palace itself. I think a return visit is in order.

Steph runs her own florist business and along with Rob will be creating all of the wedding flower arrangements the day before. Expect the flowers to be nothing short of amazing! I get the feeling Steph and Rob will be raising the bar with regards to wedding flowers and attention to detail – although they should pay more attention when eating ice creams ;) (see last image below). Look out for their wedding images towards the end of September.

Below are some of my favourites images from the day. Friends and family can view all the images on our gallery which is at www.randallweddings.co.uk/store. Please ask Steph or Rob for the password or get in contact with us at the studio.

And don’t be shy… please feel free to leave a comment.

Kiyomi & Justin Wedding – Wentworth Club – Surrey

It was back in March that I met Kiyomi and Justin for their pre-wedding shoot. If you haven’t seen the images check them out here. The pre-shoot was a little secretive as Kiyomi’s family were unaware she had worn a Kimono and it wasn’t until the wedding that they would see the images as part of the signature board.

With the pre-shoot firmly kept a secret, the wedding took place at the beginning of May at Wentworth Club in Surrey. I lived in the area for almost 10 years so it was great to be back for what was an amazing wedding. The attention to detail was outstanding and the reception room looked incredible with candles and dramatic lighting – take a look at the images below.

In additional to the pre-wedding images of Kiyomi in the Kimono the day was full or surprises with mini golf and dry ice chocolates. To top it all Kiyomi and Justin impressed everyone by breaking with tradition and singing their first song.

A huge thanks to Antonio Sanzari who second shot with me. Check out Antonio’s blog post with a cool photo of the two of us.

Congratulations to both Kiyomi & Justin

Pre-wedding shoot, Wentworth Golf Club, Surrey

Stewart Randall — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 12:07:15 +0000

Here are some images from a recent pre-wedding session at Wentworth Golf Club in Surrey. I used to live locally – not on the Wentworth Estate I hasten to add! – so was looking forward to seeing my old stomping ground. It was great to be back in sunny Surrey and true to it’s name we were blessed with some fantastic sunlight. In my opinion there’s nothing better than gorgeous natural light.

The eagle eyed among you may have noticed that I haven’t mentioned the couple’s name in the title. It’s all very secretive but basically I don’t want their guests to find this post before the wedding as the images of K in the Kimono are a surprise. In fact the wedding day will have many surprises which I am sure are going to make for some fantastic images. Can’t wait.
