A lot of my clients opt for a pre wedding photo shoot prior to their big day. I find that it helps both them and me as it lets them see how I work and it lets me see how they are in front of the camera. It can also help couples who are a little bit apprehensive about being photographed and can make them more relaxed about it come their wedding day. Of course, some people just like being photographed and a lot of couples love the fact that they can have a portrait shoot prior to their wedding day. Pre wedding photo shoots are also great fun and I love the fact that I get to spend a bit more time photographing a couple than I'd probably get with them on their wedding day.

I've photographed a few pre wedding shoots this year and the latest one was in Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow yesterday. I was there with Jillian & Chris who are being married in April at Airth Castle - one of my favourite wedding venues! :)

Here some photos from Jillian & Chris' pre wedding shoot.
