What a week it has been.
After all of that planning we finally tied the knot. It was one tremendous and magical day. I cannot wait to share everything with you. To be honest I could talk about my wedding day all day long, but rather than babbling on and on I want to put a series of posts together. However I’m not sure how to go about it at the moment.
Meanwhile, whilst I try and regain my sense of normality I thought that I would share with you a selection of our pre-wedding shots that were taken at Coombe Abbey, where we held our wedding reception.
Me and Alfie love all things autumnal and thought it would be great to do an outdoor photo shoot. It just so happens that it was a perfect sunny autumnal day, which seemed to give the photographer bundles of inspiration.
And our personal favourite which we used as the focal point for our guest signature board…
…I love it!
All images were are borrowed from our amazing photographers Jo and Ian at Storybook Weddings.
It is going to be at least 4 weeks until we get our hands on our official wedding pictures but judging by these shots I cannot wait to see how they come out.
A sneak preview…
Sorry but I couldn’t resist showing you this pic that the photographers have teased us with.
Have you been on a photo shoot before?
How did it go? What was the occasion?






Just WOW!!! You look stunning and you look so good together. The photo of you in the dress is unreal! I sooo can’t wait to get married..and I don’t even have any potential partner yet haha! 🙂
Hahaha! You will make stunning bride lovely! x

Thank you Phil, kind words as always 🙂 x
Well, that last shot took my breath away.
I can’t wait to see the others – you are positively glowing in your pre-wedding shots 🙂
Hi Jess! I really enjoyed the shoot. I think I was super excited for my wedding day by this point as the pre-wedding shoot was exactly a week before hand.
Everyone knows how much I love my photography, and I am in LOVE with your shots – especially the last one, just wow. You two are so perfect together – such an inspiration! x
Thank you Lucie, We had an amazing photographer. x
Oh my god those are gorgeous pics! I wish there had been a trend for pre wedding shoots when I got married! The healthy magazine shoot I was at last week was fab!
Pre wed shoots are such a nice touch. But you could still book something with James, maybe to mark your anniversary next year or something? You look amazing in the pics that you posted from your day at the shoot. Cannot wait to see the official pics.
Oh, they are amazing! I think wedding photography is always so magical; how they manage to capture a day in stills is incredible.
Despite having a couple of photoshoots, my wedding photos are still my favourites, might be all the hair extensions that made me feel really glamourous.
I did feel very glamorous taking these pics! I totally agree wedding photography is wonderful!
These are so amazing! You two look so happy together, what am adorable couple you make! It’s been so fun following you and your wedding plans, can’t wait to see how it all turns out!!!
