We always visit every venue a few weeks before each wedding - even if it is one we know well. If we can combine that with the pre-wedding meeting with the couple it means all the details of the days events can be discussed and the backdrops for any formal photos decided upon. It also means the shots for the mounted photograph for guests to sign, are taken at the same location as the actual wedding. I have to be honest - it isn't everybodys idea of fun! But most couples quite enjoy it and it is great way of getting used to being photographed.
Here are a couple of photos of Karen and Dan who are getting married just after Christmas at the beautiful Newstead Abbey in Nottinghamshire. Hopefully, the weather will be as nice then as it was last week.
