As I mentioned before it’s “Pre-Wed” Season, and I’ve been off around the country in all kinds of weather taking pictures. I’m happy to travel almost anywhere for a Pre-Wed shoot, and it’s great when the location has some significance to the couple. So where would you like to be? I recently went up to North Yorkshire and was greeted with some fantastic weather… we’re just hoping it’s the same on the wedding day. I really love this part of Yorkshire, it’s such a change from being in a city and it’s not so far out that you’re cut off from the rest of the world…although I had no signal at all on my phone. Maybe one day I’ll live a little closer and not just visit for weddings and Pre-Wed shoots. The cool thing about Pre-Wed sessions is that I never know what to expect. I’ve taken pictures of people doing anything from climbing trees, handstands on a thin path through a lake, chasing deer, on Aston Villa’s football pitch, sitting comfortably on a park bench and even dangling over some pretty high bridges… all in the name of photography
So on to some pictures… I met Elly and Joel at a wedding I shot last year, so it should be good to see some familiar faces at their wedding!! Oh and they opted for sitting on the edge of a high bridge, among other things:

It’s that pre-wed time again! In the run up to wedding season I seam to spend my time shooting Pre-weds. This is however a very good and exciting thing, it means the weddings are getting close. So I’ll be posting a few of the recent shoots here for you all to see!
I really had a great time with Harry and Kim the other week walking around the depths of Leeds city centre for what was supposed to be a quick shoot while the rainy, grey weather was around. The plan was to get a couple of pictures for them to use now, and do a propper pre-wed shoot when the weather was nice… However I think the fact that we were out for almost 2 hours, and got some stunning shots, really testifies to the “no weather is bad weather” philosophy that I try to work to.
Well on to some pictures:
After over 2 years of searching I’ve finally found the new face of Tom Arber Photography’s Fine Art Album. There are hundreds of different Album companies out there, and they all have claims of being the best in the world… or made with the finest leather available… or, well so many different claims. I’ve searched through most of them, and anyone who knows me will tell you that I don’t skimp on my research. I feel like I have found an Album that meets my standards and hopes. I wanted something that would last for at least 80 years, that would be hand made, bespoke, use the best materials, would have exhibition standard mats, exhibition standard prints, and would look flippin amazing!
The first sample album came this last week and it’s exactly what I was looking for. It’s taken me a little while to gather the funds and all that is needed to buy a sample album, and to say I’m quite excited to show it to some of my current and potential clients, is an understatement.
So without any further gabber, some pictures…

I Looked through this blog a few days ago and apart from the huge white boarders around pictures, and other bits and bobs I need to sort… One of the things that struck out to me was the distinct lack of weddings. So this year I’ll do my best to blog each wedding as it comes, and keep on top of things.
Well to kick off this year, we have Tom (a very good name) and Amy’s wedding from the end of last year. They had some superb weather, the kind of winter you’d hope to get for your wedding day. There were soo many shots I’d like to post, but I thought I’d limit this to around 35. You never know I might sneak a couple more in later on in the year, and there might even be a prize for the first person that spots it… I’ll keep you posted on that one.
Ok anyway, on with the pictures!!
The wedding had a movie theme with each table showered with different props from films. One of the guests had it away with the Indiana Jones Stuff…
