Slaters Country Inn, Newcastle Under Lyme
Staffordshire Wedding Venue - Nicola & Nick
I adore the time before and after Christmas, when I am able to meet with couples for their pre wedding shoot, it's a chance to get to know each other and discuss some of the finer details of the wedding day; it's so relaxed and lovely to spend the time breaking the ice and just having a bit of fun.
It's a great opportunity for me to check out the wedding venue in advance of the actual wedding day especially if it is a venue I have not been to before. Last Weekend, I met with Nicola and Nick at Slaters Country Inn in Newcastle Under Lyme, their wedding will take place here in just a little over 3 weeks time. It was a bright and beautiful (chilly) day, and we had a bit of a giggle. Both Nicola and Nick expressed that they dislike having their photo taken and were a little apprehensive to begin with, however I promised them that after the first few minutes of us working together on this, we would find a way to make them feel at ease with the camera. I appreciate camera shyness, I am quite shy in front of the camera and I have insecurities about how I look in photos, but I also know that a big part of my job is taking away those insecurities that my clients may feel and doing as much as I can to make it a fun experience. I want nothing more than my clients to love their photos. Both Nicola and Nick agreed that halfway through the shoot, it was a lot more relaxed and fun that they had expected and I hope they love the results of their shoot with me.
I can't wait to photograph their day, here's your preview Nic and Nick! See you in a few weeks!
