York Engagement Shoot

Stories Of I Do met up with Michael and Bee in York to take some beautiful images for them. Most couples haven’t had their photograph taken together before their wedding day. It is very common that the majority of people don’t feel 100% comfortable in front of the lens. This is precisely the reason why Stories Of I Do feel it is important to have a pre-wedding shoot before the wedding day. Not only does it give our couples more confidence in having their photograph taken, but it gives us the chance to get to know them better and build up a stronger relationship.

Pre wedding shoot

After weeks of a heat wave, it was the day for a storm. We were lucky to have it stay mostly dry, just very blustery! We enjoyed the day, wandering around the Minster, the surrounding gardens and pretty streets. Engagement shoots are perfect for our couples, it gives them a chance to get used to ignoring our cameras. It was a lovely afternoon spent with the two of them before their big day. A perfect chance to get to know them a little better and capture them relaxed – even when being photographed around York among the summer tourists!

York Adventure Shoot

Very quickly we were all chatting about wedding plans while wandering through the city finding spots for photos. We are shooting Bee and Michael’s wedding in the Italian Villa, Poole in October. The idea of York city centre as their photo shoot backdrop is a lovely contrast to the luxurious setting for their wedding. We love York and love shooting in cities because there is always something different around every corner.

These two awesome lovebirds were more than up for the less than ideal weather! Their individual personalities shone through immediately, and they were quickly entwined in creating some stupendous shots. Michael and Bee were super keen from the start and didn’t need any encouragement to display affection. They were at one with us and the cameras within minutes. Their favourite shots from the day were these with long exposure and we will definitely be integrating this into their wedding portraits!
