Last weekend I did a test shoot at Careys Manor, a fabulous venue in Brockenhurst. Caroline and Lee have chosen this venue for their wedding in August. We had a lot of fun taking some test shoot images in the hotel grounds - much to the amusement of the hotel guests who we imagined were thinking 'Are they famous? Is he that guy off the tv?!' They brought along Phoebe who also had fun pulling faces in front of the camera...!
The value of having a 'test shoot' should never be underestimated. Phoebe is going to be a bridesmaid at the wedding and having already met me, she won't be quite so worried about having her picture taken on the day itself. Caroline and Lee had met me at a wedding fayre and knew that they needed to book a photographer they enjoyed being with as well as loving the photographer's work.
After seeing their test shoot images, Lee emailed to say how much they loved them and confirmed the booking.
''Thanks for meeting us at Careys Manor last weekend. We have had a look through the pictures you have taken and we have to say they are great...it's not just the pictures, but your personality was really entertaining! We would love you to capture our wedding day, and we think that you will certainly get the best from us all. We look forward to speaking with you soon, and certainly look forward to some fun on the day!''
I'm looking forward to capturing Caroline and Lee's day too!
