Carly and Jonny booked me a while ago now for their wedding day. Included in their package was a pre wedding shoot, which I suggested they use as a family shoot as well. We spent a lovely time in the sunshine, starting with the kids playing in the play park, having fun.

Herne Bay, with its seaside vibes makes for a great backdrop for couple and family portraits and worked well as a pre wedding shoot. Ice creams were a must have, followed with some fun on the beach. From there it was a lovely walk along the promenade for a visit to the pier.

Capturing natural moments as they happen and documenting my time with them, allowed for some lovely moments captured. It was like a shortened version of spending a day with a family and documenting their day and I loved it.

All the family went on the carousel, which the kids loved and from there on to the shooting gallery. After this, it was time to cool off with a walk to the beach and paddle in the sea. Finished off with a quick visit to the amusement arcades.

This pre wedding shoot was in early June. With their wedding at Broome Park at the end of June, I will be seeing all their lovely faces again soon!

Pre wedding shoots are really a great way to get comfortable having a camera around you, and seeing how your photographer will work on the day. If you are thinking of having a pre wedding shoot, I would love to hear from you.
