Fun in the snow • Natasha & Alastair • Pre-Wedding Shoot

This weekend I had the great (freezing-cold) pleasure of photographing Natasha & Alastair’s pre-wedding photos at Oakwell Hall, near Birstall in Leeds.  It was a close call with the weather, but after waking up to a beautiful sun filled sky, I couldn’t have asked for better light (even the Californians don’t have it this good).  We all had plenty of fun trying not to slip over and they got into the swing of things really quickly.

Gorgeous back-lighting and some natural flair

It wasn’t long before we got bored of couply shots and after jumping the gate to get into the field, I only had to say the phrase snow fight, and they were off.  I shouldn’t have asked . . .

They’re getting married in Malmaison in the centre of Leeds early next year, and I can’t wait.  Malmaison’s going to produce some really beautiful shots.

What a lovely couple and wonderful for them to have a fantastic portfolio of pre wedding shoot photographs in the snow- not many couples will have snow images- great photography too!

These are a beautiful & inspiring set of pre-wed shots Mr Booker! The snow really adds a fresh take on the portrait shoot and those individual portrait shots & pic on those ace steps look amazing. Great work sir! have a very happy Christmas, B

Absolutely fantastic work Rob – I was smiling at every image! You’ve captured some brilliant moments and I feel warm hearted despite the shivers I get from the frosty look!

A beautiful, fresh and crisp quality to all these shots – really lovely processing. Natalie and Alistair look suitably snug and loved up!

Susie Lawrence21/12/2009 - 11:47 AM

Gorgeous shots Rob. The southern Californians couldn’t ever do this! You’ve really made the most of the wintry conditions with some lovely atmospheric images. Love them.

Phill21/12/2009 - 11:40 AM

Fantastic work Rob. Images as crisp, clean and invigorating as the snow that forms their backdrop. You’ve framed Natasha & Alastair’s personalities marvellously well too. It bodes very well indeed for the wedding photos to come! I’m sure they’ll be thrilled with these :~)

Cristina21/12/2009 - 11:35 AM

Really, really beautiful work. You can almost smell the crystal clear air of a snowy morning. And what a sweet and playful couple, I love the one where she’s biting his cheek! Great job, Rob!
