Nic and Dave – The Pre Wedding Session

Mark Miller — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 19:30:57 +0000

As many of you may know, I enjoy a trip to the seaside for a pre-wedding shoot – Saltburn being one of my favourite places. Nic and Dave had to walk to the end of the road as they live in Saltburn – brilliant! I’m looking forward to their wedding next month at the beautiful Gisborough Hall in North Yorkshire – I played there back in my Fantastic Shirts days (my band) but this will be my first time as a photographer, which is great – as much as I like working at familiar places, a new venue really helps the creative juices flow. We’re also planning a wedding day trip onto the beach which, weather permitting, should mean some stunning shots.

Here are some of our favourites from the shoot (no, Dave isn’t poking her in the eye). You can find more images on their wedding web page www.nicanddave.markmiller.co.uk

Another trip to Salburn Beach, this time for Rachael and Simon’s pre-wedding shoot.

Rachael and Simon are getting married at Hotel Bannatyne later this year. You can find more images at www.rachaelandsimon.markmiller.co.uk. Why not leave a comment below to let me know what you think, or join in the conversation over at Facebook.

Katy and Dan

I love a good laugh and that’s exactly what we did on Katy and Dan’s pre-wedding shoot – it was brilliant. We had great weather and Katy and Dan make such a lovely couple – I ended up shooting twice as many shots as normal!

The wedding isn’t until next year at a venue that’s new to me: Oulton Hall (which looks almost as gorgeous as Katy and Dan – sorry, was that a bit cheesy?!)

You’ll find some favourites from the shoot below. Why not leave a comment or head on over to Facebook and leave a comment there. Katy and Dan have their own wedding web page at www.kateanddan.markmiller.co.uk (that’s ‘kate’ NOT ‘katy’), take a look and you’ll find links to all of thier images, including a fabby slideshow!

Wendy and Stephen – The Pre Wedding Shoot

Mark Miller — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 13:52:47 +0000

“It’s not my thing, but if it helps us get better pictures on the wedding day then I suppose it’ll be OK” said Stephen after we’d had the pre-wedding shoot. Now you have to understand that the vast majority of my clients have a great time on their pre-wdding shoots, so when Stephen said this to me I was a tad nervous.

What if he didn’t like the images? (mind you, I think that after EVERY shoot! )

What if it upsets the relationship I try and build with every client?

So at the Pre-Wed viewing I was uncertain what kind of response I might get. I set up the slideshow and pressed ‘play’.

What can I say? They loved them!!!

I always invite my couples to delete any images they don’t like. Wendy and Stephen got rid of about 4 from the 60 or 70 I showed them. That’s a job well done!

The wedding is later this month at the glorious Crathorne Hall Hotel (it’s like going home when I work there). You can see more of the pre-wedding images at www.wendyandstephen.markmiller.co.uk. Leave a comment below to let me know what you think, or join in the conversation over at Facebook.

Isabella and Mark’s Pre-Wedding Session

Mark Miller — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 22:35:50 +0000

A couple of weeks ago I had a great time with Isabella and Mark at Tunstall Reservoir (which is overlooked by Neil Tennant’s country home!). When we arrived the weather looked decidedly dodgy, but thankfully the rain blew over and the sun came out.

Isabella and Mark tie the knot later this month, until then, enjoy this selection of favourites from the shoot. You can find more images on their special web page: www.isabellaandmark.markmiller.co.uk

Sophie and Andy’s Pre-Wedding Shoot

Mark Miller — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 14:29:27 +0000

A sunny evening in Tynemouth was the location for Sophie and Andy’s pre-wedding session and it was beautiful.

The pre-wedding session really helps my clients feel at ease, so that when wedding day comes round, there are no anxieties. Sophie and Andy were really pleased with thier pictures (as was I!) – here are few of our favourites. You’ll find links to all of their images on their wedding webpage: www.sophieandandy.markmiller.co.uk

Clare and Adam – the big day!

Mark Miller — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 10:17:59 +0000

It finally arrived – Clare and Adam’s big day, and what a day it was! The sun was shining (well, for most of the day), there was a light breeze and all of their friends and family were with them at Headlam Hall to celebrate their wedding day.

Adam was really pleased with his Caroline Shotton cute cow cufflinks. Flowers and table decorations were by the lovely Gillian Nicholls.

Although mentioned the gorgeous weather, the rain did set in by the end of the day, but that provided an opportunity for Andrew and Sarah from Headlam to join in as my assistants (Andrew took the fantastic shot of me with Clare and Adam!)

Enjoy some of my favourites below, or take a look the fun on Facebook (like me?), or head on over to their special wedding page: www.clareandadam.markmiller.co.uk for links to all of the images, including the amazing, Draft Album Design (definitely the best place to see the whole wedding day story).

Jeni and Paul’s Pre-wedding shoot

Mark Miller — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 13:28:56 +0000

When it comes to pre-wedding shoots, I rarely (if ever) cancel them because of the weather although I did wonder if I should have done that a couple of weeks ago whilst waiting for Jeni and Paul to arrive for their shoot. The clouds were rolling in (I’d driven through a huge cloud burst that I knew was coming our way!).

I’m glad to say that we didn’t and we had a great (if a little wet) time. Here are a few of my favourites from the session. You can find links to all of their images on their special webpage: www.jeniandpaul.markmiller.co.uk or head on over to Facebook and join in the conversation.

Why not leave a comment to let me know what you think of the pictures.

BTW – The last image is not be shooting them! They were re-enacting a scene from Borat!

Mary and Will’s Pre-wedding photo shoot

Mark Miller — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 09:13:59 +0000

Summer is here so I took Mary and Will off to the beach to make sandcastles, paddle and take their picture. Well, actually we didn’t do the sandcastle/paddle thing, but I did take their picture! We had a lovely time in the very hot sunshine. Regular readers of my blog will know that I often use the beech for pre-wedding shoots, there’s great light, gorgeous scenery and it’s generally good for the soul.

Mary and Will get married at the end of July in St Hildeburgh’s Church, Hoylake, then we’re off to The Craxton Wood Hotel.

Here are a few of our favourites from the session – let me know what you think in the comments section, or join in the conversation on Facebook (make friends with me!) Better still, bookmark Mary and Will’s special wedding webpage: www.maryandwill.markmiller.co.uk for links to all of their wedding images and a gorgeous slideshow.
