Bianka & Ed

Evening Golden Hour at Mottistone Down on the Isle of Wight.

After a steep climb, we were rewarded with glorious golden light.

Bianka and Edmund met and now live in Madrid, Spain. With her family in the United States and his in the UK, this international couple had a world of choices for their wedding day. Ultimately, it was Bianka’s love of the sea that led to their decision. They would be married in Ed’s home village on the Isle of Wight. Due to their international living arrangements, the dates for their pre-wedding shoot were limited to a short window. We all kept our fingers crossed and were rewarded with the most glorious late spring evening.

We ascended to a viewpoint in Mottistone where, you can see the sea in every direction. As sunset approached, the entire landscape was bathed in fiery orange, and the golden hour truly lived up to its reputation in the most remarkable way.

The man, with dark hair and a beard, sits facing her, reaching out to gently touch her hair. In the background, green trees and a glimpse of the ocean are visible under a hazy sky.

Just Warming Up

Pre-wedding shoots are fun little photoshoots that are included with many of our wedding photography packages. We love them because they give us all a chance to get to know each other and for you to be comfortable in front of the camera in a relaxed and informal setting before the excitement of your wedding day and all that it entails. They give the two of you, as a couple, the opportunity to create images that showcase your relationship in a way that is completely yours.
