Nicola Muir Photography - Hampshire Wedding Photographer- Pre Wedding Session at Upwaltham Barns

​Oh the BEAUTIFUL Upwaltham Barns!! It's been a little while since I have been treated to this gorgeous wedding venue that lays within the stunning South Downs National Park in West Sussex. So when Laura and David contacted me about photographing their wedding day, I did a little happy dance when they told me they had chosen this fabulous barn wedding venue. 

​My Wedding Photography package includes a Pre Wedding Session, or an Engagement Session if you like, so I was super happy to be able to catch up with this lovely couple and their children ahead of their wedding day next Summer. And we were even able to book their session in for exactly a year to the day, before the big day next June. 

When I arrived, I chatted with the couple about their ideas for the sessions, what they hoped to get out of it and what their thoughts about their wedding photography, in general, were.
This is so important! Its so important for me to be able to gauge the vibe of my client's day and the things that are most important to them and also what their vibe is, as a couple. Yes, as a photographer,  I have a certain style and my own little ways of creating beautiful portraits, but also, this is a collaboration between me and my clients, it's not a one size fits all situation!
Everyone is different and every wedding is different, and how wonderful is that!?    

​So, for Laura and David, it was all about super laid back, unposed portraits with a focus on their children and them as a family. And I totally dig that! And the resulting portraits from their session are so beautifully authentic, with so many sweet, candid family moments and a sprinkling of peaceful, intimate portraits amongst the commotion, and I suspect that's pretty much what family life is like for this fivesome!

​Row row, row your boat, gently down the stream, if you see a crocodile, don't forget to....
Yer this entire session was pretty much sponsored by that song, and it was hilarious! 

​And can we please take a moment to appreciate just how adorable this last portrait is...
