Elizabeth & Chris: A Rivington Pre-Wedding Shoot

When we met up for their Rivington pre-wedding shoot a few weeks ago, I was so struck by this tenderness they have for each other.  More than anything, I understood they are best friends and marriage is literally just a natural extension of that: a commitment of hearts and souls and at times I almost felt I was intruding.  And though I knew we'd have an awesome time working together on their wedding (beginning this Friday with their Liverpool Town Hall civil ceremony, followed by Saturday's Spring Cottage garden party extravaganza!) - I wasn't prepared to fall a bit in love with them and spend a languid 2 hours walking the sun-drenched trails of the gorgeous scenery that will provide the setting for Saturday's festivities.

Vicky & Mark - and their gorgeous kids - and a Denzell Gardens Pre-Wedding Session

Vicky and Mark have been together 18 years (!!!) and have two STUNNING children, Ebony & Austin who tagged along for the shoot.  Whilst a pre-wedding shoot is generally just to get comfortable with the couples portraits, I loved having these two goofballs around.  They were hilarious and the dynamic of the day was super relaxed, feeling more like a family day out than a photo shoot.  These kids are STARS and their energy is completely infectious.
