Hazel & Pete

Another early start! I find for beach shots an early start is best as there are very few if at all any dog walkers about & the light at this time of day is great. We started the shoot on the rocks at Tynemouth, waiting for the sun to rise while the tide was coming in fast!!!! After the sunrise shots & almost breaking our necks on the slippery rocks we headed to the next location. We stopped for coffee & a chat about the wedding schedule & generally just to get to know each other better. Hazel & Pete will be married at Chillingham castle in August. Chillingham castle is renowned for its ghosts & famous for being the Uk's most haunted place! When I first met Hazel & Pete they told me stories of orbs & faces in windows that others including Hazel herself had caught on camera. I didn't really believe at first until recently viewing one of Hazel's images taken from a room inside the castle were an orb has appeared. After a little research into Chillingham, I have since come across more of these orbs! I"m quite excited to see if we manage to capture these orbs in some of the wedding pictures or even better a face in a window. I have been warned that the spooks at Chillingham have a tendency to drain camera batteries so I will be taking plenty of spares just incase!!!!! Below are just some of the images from Hazel & Pete's pre-wedding shoot.

Abbie & Lee's Pre-wed shoot

We headed down to Tynemouth as this is where Lee proposed to Abbie. The weather was great for us. We found a little hut which acted as a great back drop along with the cliff face for some of the shots. Abbie is the daughter of a very good friend of mine who is also a photographer and is soon traveling to India to document work for Raleigh International for 3 months, visit her site by clicking here www.anntaylorphotography.co.uk

Abbie & Lee are to be married next month in Christ Church, North Shields & I'm really looking forward to capturing all that detail along with the fantastic stained glass windows.

Pre-wed shoot Helen & Shaun

The shoot took place a few months ago but I have been stuck with a very slow internet connection for some time now so better late than never is all I can say on the matter.

We were up at the crack of dawn to catch some nice light and very few dog walkers on Tynemouth beach, after moving on to St Mary's then Jesmond dene. Here are just a few of the images from their pre-wed shoot. Enjoy!
