THE HOUGHTON FAMILY - WINTER FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY

Back before Christmas, on a misty Sunday morning I met the Houghton's and their beautiful girls at the wonderful Hampton Court Palace. I have so many families who get in touch to arrange shoots during the summer months but I just love photographing kids when they're all wrapped up, and don't even get me started on matching duffels and wellies :-)

GO ON...

I love shooting pre-weds. There's something so tangible about a couple still in the throws of planning their greatest day. Often even more so than on the day itself. It's that romantic, funny, nervous feeling you get in your tummy. It's butterflies.
I don't think I've met one couple who've said 'Yeah, we can't wait to be photographed!' literally everyone is worried about what to do, where to look, how to touch.
That's the reason I think pre-wed's are so great (ask anyone and they'll tell you that I do!). They give you the chance to be in front of the camera with no time restraints or worry about how long you've been away from your guests and to work through all the little nerves and quirks that are inevitable. It also means you get to know me a little better and that I get to know you.
There's no pressure, just simply taking the time to look into each others eyes, to kiss (like you mean it) to hold hands, to chat and to laugh, gives me the greatest opportunity to see you, really see you, and maybe for you to fall in love just a little bit more.
