Chloe and Craig (and the kids!) engagement & family photography session

As the autumn leaves were still on the trees, and the colours were still looking stunning, we were really excited to meet Chloe and Craig (and of course their gorgeous kids, Spencer and Frazer) at Elvaston Castle in Derbyshire for their pre-wedding photography session. These meet-ups are always great, we get together with a couple for the first time, talk through their plans for their wedding and do a quick photography session, all before they book or commit to using us for their wedding.

We tell parents not to worry about it, having been a teacher for nearly 5 years Dave knows what kids can be like. He knows how to have fun with them, when to have a joke and when, actually, they’re just a little shy and need a bit of time to get used to the situation.

Why you should invest in more than digital files from your family photography session

In recent years, the way we view photography has completely transformed. Images can be taken, editing and shared online in a matter of seconds. As a result, the way we purchase family photographs from a professional photographer has changed as well.
