..I've been saying this for a while now, its the idea that it's the couples big day, and what happens if something goes wrong? The memory card stops, or the battery runs out or the photos are just rubbish?

Well have a second SD card, have a second battery, and have some self confidence!

I think that's the part I lack at times, the self confidence. I enjoy taking photos, and have had some lovely comments about my images recently which I genuinely appreciate. So I can put plans in place for the second battery and SD card, and at the end of the day, well, it's not my day, it's theirs, so no one is looking at me, I'm not the focus.

This is why I have my 4th wedding shoot coming up in 2 weeks. And again they are friends and know I'm not a pro. The following are photos from the pre wedding shoot I did last night, followed by dinner at the reception venue.

And like I always say,my favourite shots are the ones not planned, the 'laugh like a loon' shot when no one is looking 😁

This was a really good shoot and gave me ideas before the big day, so congratulations to Rosa and James..

As a photographer I try to mix what I do in my shots, I've done still life, some macro work, lightpainting and I enjoy a good model shoot. If you'd like to check out any of my other work I'm on Facebook, or you can find me on Instagram under neilru75

Thanks very much for looking

Kind Regards, Neil
