One of the things I love most about a pre-wedding shoot is that it gives couples the opportunity to relax in front of the camera.

It doesn't have to feel like a formal photo session. In fact, the less we worry about taking photographs, the more natural the photographs tend to become.

This family were brilliant at simply being themselves. The children played their part perfectly, although I'm sure they didn't realise they were doing so!

Their interactions with Mum and Dad created some of those lovely, unplanned moments that you simply cannot manufacture.A smile.A cuddle.A little bit of fun.

A look between two people who know each other completely.

Those are the photographs that tell a story.
