Last weekend I joined Kerry & Mark at Harewood House for their pre-wedding practice shoot ahead of their wedding at Ripley Castle this weekend.


It was a bit of a drizzly ol’ day, but Harewood House still looked ace.

Wandering around these places sets my imagination racing with all kinds of Downton Abbey type activity & scandal!

But now wasn’t the time to be pretending I was Lord Grantham cavorting with chamber maids, I had work to do…

So after a good catch up with Kerry & Mark about their big day plans, we took to the grounds

…starting by sheltering from the rain in the old stables!


I always like to put my upcoming victims, *I mean couples*, through a practice shoot to show them how it feels to be photographed.


They’re always so useful to show the bride and groom to be how it feels to be papped – usually pretty awkward…

…and what I require from them – to cuddle, have fun and do their best to pretend I’m not there!




In spite of the weather, these guys were great at just relaxing together and I was really pleased with the pictures we captured together

Not a bad location to use either!

So here’s hoping this was a helpful experience for Kerry & Mark, and here’s looking forward to the big day this weekend!
