Best Pre wedding locations London - Albert Palmer

As I do quite a few pre wedding shoots in London I often get asked about the perfect locations. Well, to start with I’m going to talk a little about the timing. Last time I googled London has a population of just over 8 MILLION people. That’s a lot. Not to mention the tourists which flood the streets in the summer and autumn… So timing plays a part on pre wedding shoots. With sunrise and sunset being the best times – or the quietest times with the best light. I tend to schedule London pre wedding shoots for week days, because as you might imagine the weekends are chaotic. With that in mind here are my top 10 locations for London pre wedding shoots.

Spring Wedding at Came House - Albert Palmer

 I couldn’t wait to return to Came House for Averil and Dom’s spring wedding . It was a gorgeous day, with sunshine, perfect weather and great friends. So many details went into this wedding that I’ll probably never get tired of looking back on. Hats off to Averil and Dom for making it such a fun wedding to photograph. From the Florist’s hand-picked flowers to the gorgeous centerpieces and table decorations. Averil and Dom were one happy bride and groom. Came House is a work of art, located in Dorset. They have a beautiful garden where their guests could gather for the ceremony and for the reception. It has been on my list of favourite wedding venue’s since I first visited it in 2019. Since I last went they’ve erected a large marquee in the grounds for the wedding breakfast and dancing. It was also the first time I’d photographed a wedding ceremony in the Orangery. Arcade flowers had decorated the wedding aisle with a vivid pink to match Averil’s wedding bouquet. The striking colou...

Southend Barns Wedding Photography - Albert Palmer

 One of the good things to come from a quiet time of year is that I finally have time to catch up on my blogging! Today we’re heading back to Jacky & David’s wedding. They got married at St Mary’s Church before heading on to Southend Barns wedding venue. They lucked out with a beautiful day in August which ended with the prettiest of sunsets. It was my first time at Southend Barns although Jacky and Dave found me through a recommendation from this wedding at Upwaltham Barns. Not only did they have a fab Cadillac wedding car their little dog attended the wedding ceremony. Looking at these wedding photos now quickly brings back all the memories of the day. The guys smoking cigars, playing law games, eating amazing food (and cake!) Whilst ‘at work’ I’m always trying to find unique wedding photos and I struck gold! One of my favourite images is of the couple asleep together on an outdoor sofa. It had been a long day and after the wedding breakfast these two crashed out in each oth...

Jenna and Dan’s Engagement Photographs — Albert Palmer

 Check out Jenna and Dan’s engagement photographs , complete with balloons! You’ll know how busy I am when I blog the engagement photographs after I’ve photographed and delivered the wedding photos I’ll be showing you Jenna and Dan’s wedding photos soon (check out the preview on my Facebook page.) They got married just outside of Bath and it was happiest of wedding days and quite a bit sunnier than their couple shoot. Whilst Clifton always tends to look lovely in sun or cloud we managed to dodge some rain showers and find some new spots I’ve not been to before. As well as some old favourites. It was great to see quite a few of these photographs at Jenna and Dan’s wedding. They had printed them out and displayed them in the guest book. Nothing makes me happier than to see the photos printed. It doesn’t have to be on fancy paper, or be of a great quality (although kudos if they are!) I know some of my most treasured family photos aren’t amazing works of art but they show times I simp...
