Jo & Nick's Autumn Portrait Shoot in Surrey

Sometimes, for whatever reason, we don't get time to do the Pre Wedding Shoot before the wedding. It could be time pressures or scheduling difficulties, or any number of reasons, so when that happens, we just do the shoot after the wedding instead.

This is an example of one such shoot.
I forget the exact reason why this happened after the wedding, but I believe it was due to a lack of time before the wedding to fit it in, so we did it now instead.

So this ended up being a rather lovely autumn family portrait shoot in a lovely leafy part of Surrey known as Waggoners Wells. I'd never heard of it before, but I'm so glad Jo and Nick chose it as their shoot location, and even more so because it was autumn, meaning we had a low sun casting its bright golden light over the Surrey countryside that day.

Direct sunlight, especially the low autumn light is both beautiful and difficult to work with, it's all about how you use it, but when it's done well, you get stunning shots like these below.
