Pre Wedding Photo Shoot

2 weeks ago (sorry, I am behind with the blog) I did a Pre Wedding Photo Shoot with Caroline and Adam, Caroline was keen but Adam was a little reluctant, that's an understatement. We met for a quick drink and chat in Twin City Cafe, Dundee, to try to put both if them at ease and let them see that I was not scary after all. It transpired that Adam and I had actually met before anyway. Adam and his father run a Wedding Chauffeur business called Angus Wedding Cars they have a lovely old Rolls Royce for hire. Anyway, we had both been involved in a Wedding last year so after a chat we realised we already knew each other.

After a bit of chat and a drink we headed out to the city square to do some shots, the weather was reasonable kind to us (well it was dry), but it was windy and Caroline has quite long hair so I knew that finding shelter was the order of the day. They agreed that the rather grotty steps down from the city square might look quite interesting so off we went.


We did a few shots round here in different parts and in different areas. Oh, for the people interested, I have underexposed ambient light by 1 stop then filled in Caroline and Adam with off camera flash shot through a softbox to camera left. This creates a bit of separation between them and the surroundings.

After that we drove up to Camperdown House, having  lived and grown up here for almost 15 years I knew the area well. We started at the front of the house round the pillars, as the house is currently closed down it was quiet. So we did a bit of shooting round the front portico area.



We then had a walk up towards the golf course and took a few shots of them walking through the paths there.


Caroline and Adam, you were both a pleasure to work with and I am glad that you are happy with the photographs. Best wishes.
