Andrew Jackson Photography: Pre-Wed Shoots
I always recommend to our wedding couples that they come along for a pre-wed shoot; its a really fun shoot - usually in Bristol's Harbourside area - and gives us a chance to get to know each other a little better. For the couple, its a chance to feel comfortable in front of the camera ahead of the big day - and gives me a chance to explain how to pose & look their best on camera and also how things are likely to unfold on the day. Yesterday, we were photographing Alexa & Charley and we had a fab time - they were naturals in front of the camera and when they get married in the Cotswolds at Bibury Court later in the month, I know they will look stunning together; we're really looking forward to sharing their big day with them. Here are a few of the shots from yesterday...
Today I have been mostly wondering why no one is talking about the AV vote - have they not announced the results yet?

The Royal Wedding
- Would I have liked to be the photographer? No, No and No...well, maybe! Obviously post-wedding sales should have been fab! But the second-by-second schedule would have scared me to death! I much prefer a more relaxed, free flowing kind of day!
- Yes, Catherine looked absolutely stunning! Loved the fact that it was a British designer (Sarah Burton / Alexander McQueen), loved the lace sleeves and the modest detailing on the bodice but most of all, loved the way Catherine brought it to life - which is exactly what I hope for when I'm capturing my weddings. The price of the dress is less the issue than the confidence and personality of the bride wearing it - it makes such a difference. A wedding dress isn't everyday wear so its difficult sometimes for a bride to feel truly comfortable wearing it, but Catherine was working it beautifully!
- Loved the hats - are they making a come back? I hope so - wedding hats are SO part of the story!
- Perfect make up: Brides, now you know the secret - Catherine's skin looked fresh and natural, achieved by Lancome's Teint Miracle foundation (great for flash photography), a hint of blusher and day-time appropriate eye make up - keep it light and try to ignore the wedding magazines when they say to over make up for the pictures...
- Loved the bouquet - every flower tells a story & each stem was chosen for a reason - I really like that attention to detail. Just like the car, it is these small touches that make the day unique, even though as a ceremony is follows a generations-old pattern.
- Pictures: Credit to the photographer. The formal groups are very formal but beautiful delivered & when the opportunity arose for a more relaxed shot, he had that covered too.
