Michelle and Nick Pre-Wedding Shoot in Castlefield

enter

This is the very lovely Michelle and Nick – they’re getting married in a few weeks in Chorlton and then having their reception at the Town Hall in Manchester so they decided they’d like the pre-wedding in Manchester as well.

We met in Castlefield early on the saturday morning and just started shooting! Michelle and Nick’s first date was actually at Dukes 92 in Castlefield, so we made sure we incorporated it into the shoot as well!

I really do love pre-wedding shoots, it gives me the chance to get to know the bride and groom better and they’re great fun as well. By the time we’d finished and ended up in Dukes for a coffee afterwards, I had a much clearer idea about how Michelle and Nick want their day shooting, something that you can only understand when you spend time with the bride and groom. We got some great stuff on their shoot and it’s always nice to hear the images from a shoot are well received by the bride and groom and their friends too. There were some lovely comments on Facebook when Michelle posted some of the images onto her profile – always great to see.

Here’s a few of my favourites from the shoot…

I love this shot! I’d sent Michelle and Nick over the bridge to the other side of the canal while I changed memory card. When I turned round, they’d sat themselves on this bench – always great to work with people who realise that it’s good to have a sense of humour where the photography is concerned!

The heart is real! My wife Emma was convinced I’d photoshopped it in! But it’s there on the wall. Probably the friendliest graffiti ever!
