June is sneaking up upon us and therefore so is Emma and Chris’s wedding at the stunning Barnsdale Hall Hotel, overlooking Rutland Water. We met Emma at the Northamptonshire Newspapers wedding fair at Kettering, where Emma won the prize draw winning £300 towards the costs of her wedding. Without hesitation Emma spent the £300 booking us to be part of their big day.

As part of our all-inclusive packages we include an Engagement Shoot to help the couple cast aside any concerns they may have about their photography. All of our couples start these sessions a little bit apprehensive, but as usual they soon understand that there is nothing to worry about, in-fact having professional photographs taken can be a bit of a giggle. Emma & Chris were no different, soon relaxing into the session and getting to understand some of the direction I was giving them. Blessed with sunshine, although it was overcast when I left studio 30 minutes earlier, we explored the hotel and its grounds discussing the plans for the big day, clicking as we went. As Brucey would say ‘didn’t they do well’ - some lovely shots, posed but natural, just the way we like it.

Location: Barnsdale Hall Hotel - Rutland
