"Can we bring the dog?"

There's something about this time of year. And this place. Winter can be amazing for outdoor photos in the right place. When Anna and Tom fancied having a wintry outdoor pre-wedding photoshoot at Sherwood Pines I leapt at the chance! I grew up about 3 miles away from this pine forest, and Anna used to work there, so it was like it was meant to be. And wow, when they asked if they could bring their gorgeous dog Florence, I was all over it like a rash. (The good kind, if that even exists).

As always, the purpose of a pre-wedding shoot is to all meet and chat about the wedding ahead of time. It's to get to know each other, and get some kickass photos thrown in to boot. It's great being able to suss out a couple and know what works for them ahead of the wedding, so in June when they tie the knot I can just turn up and get right down to it.

Anna and Tom get married at Inkersall Grange Farm in the summer.
