Devon Wedding Photography at Slapton – Engagement

Slapton Sands Devon Wedding Engagment Shoot (3)

I have been shooting several pre wedding engagement shoots recently, its that time just before the wedding season really gets into full swing and before the wedding’s really start to count up. I have been spending some time with my couples who are getting married in the next couple of months shooting at a wide variety of places around the country to give them some Engagement Shoot style pictures. These pictures are from a pre-wedding shoot last week in East Devon on and around Slapton Sands Beach.

However the ‘Engagement Shoot’ pictures are just one part of the reason I always insist on an Engagement Shoot. Spending some time together, getting to know one-another and building a relationship is really at the core, I also get to learn what peoples likes and dislikes are, what they are comfortable with and create the situation that when the wedding day comes, it wont be the first time I have photographed the couple. The engagement shoot is actual all about the wedding pictures, creating confidence and knowledge so that the wedding is more of an ease for the couple and me. Of course there are always some bonus pictures at the end of the short time spent together and below are a few of them. :)

Hope you like.

Reportage Style Wedding Photography Cornwall | Candids

As well as all the big events on a wedding day like the confetti, the first married kiss, the dress going on, the exchange of rings and the first dance, I also always photograph what I call details and candids. And today i’m going to talk about Candids. “I’ll be around shooting candids.” – Candids is a word and phrase I use to basically mean ‘I’m taking pictures of people having a good time’. Its all those pictures that I take in-between the bigger moments, and pictures that are very personal to an individual wedding. I always say when I’m not doing anything else, I’m shooting some canids, perhaps your eating canopies and drinking champagne, ill be in the distance somewhere shooting Candids, unless I’m shooting details – but thats another blog.

So I have picked one recent wedding and have just picked out 20 or so canid pictures taken at various intervals throughout the wedding day, some straight after the wedding, some whilst the canopies are being served and some during the speeches. It’s not often I show these pictures from a particular wedding because they are all about the people in them and what they mean to the couple, to you and me they don’t mean a lot. None the less it gives an idea of what else gets photographed on a wedding day to add to that collection of wedding pictures that a wedding couple receive.

Hope you like.
