Nigel and Zoe's Pre-Wedding Shoot

We had a fascinating and fun afternoon with Nigel and Zoe, firstly at their chosen wedding venue - 'George Vaults' in Rochester, Kent, followed by a short walk, for informal shots, into Rochester Castle Gardens and these Gardens also overlook Rochester Cathedral.

Given that the George Vaults are from around the 13th Century, and the Castle and Cathedral from around the 11th Century, we certainly had an historical appreciation trip.

The Vaults are, as the name suggests, below ground level and are lit by candlelight. A beautiful location with the challenge of low lighting - lots of use of flash and a video light.

The Castle gardens were reasonably quiet although there was another wedding photographer there doing her group shots. I am sure that on the actual wedding day of the 3rd August, a Saturday, it will be much busier.

A lovely afternoon, from candlelight to full sun with hardly a cloud in the sky, with a lovely couple who took naturally to the camera - all bodes well for their wedding day.

Here are some shots from the day:-
