Joyce & Ross were married this past weekend, so I’m now able to show some images from our pre-wedding shoot at Duke Gardens a fortnight or so ago. As you’ll see, we had a pretty extreme shoot in terms of weather. I think we experienced pretty much all four seasons in the space of a couple of hours, but Joyce and Ross were on great form and didn’t let the rain get in the way of their smiles. A good time was had by all, especially me!
Here are a few of my faves from the shoot…
