Gemma & Jamie's Pre Wedding Shoot

I knew that I should have taken out a season ticket for Birmingham Botannical Gardens! Gemma and Jamie are the third couple in a few weeks to request the gardens as the location for their pre-wed shoot. I’m not surprised really, as the gardens are so beautiful and there are so many different backdrops to photograph. We had another gorgeous day and a lovely shoot, they are such a great couple.

Gemma and Jamie’s wedding is at the end of April at a gem of a venue – Blackbrook House in Derbyshire. I met up with Gemma again later in the week, this time we were joined by her Mum and we took a look around Blackbrook House. I always make a venue visit prior to a wedding even if it is a place where I have shot at many times before. Every couple have their own special thoughts about a venue and the reason that they chose it, so I always take a walk around with them to discuss their wedding day photography. As I mentioned earlier Blackbrook House is a gem, tucked away in the Derbyshire countryside. When you walk up the stone steps to the front door you would never believe what lies behind that door. It is quite simply beautiful.
