Pre Wedding Photos at Dunraven Bay, Southerndown by Gareth Jones Photography.
A pre wedding shoot at Dunraven Bay is always a fantastic choice, and Claire and Daniel were lucky enough to have beautiful weather for their session. With dramatic cliffs, sweeping coastal views and the rugged shoreline stretching out across the Glamorgan Coast, the location offers an incredible variety of backdrops within a relatively short walk.
The relaxed atmosphere of the shoot allowed us to take our time creating natural, easy-going photos. Pre wedding sessions are never about awkward posing or anything too formal, but instead about helping couples feel comfortable in front of the camera while capturing genuine moments along the way.
These shoots are also a brilliant opportunity to have a little practice ahead of the wedding day itself. During the session, I always provide a few simple tips and guidance to help couples feel more relaxed when it comes to portraits, keeping everything easy and natural rather than overly posed.
By the end of the shoot, most couples leave feeling far more confident about being photographed, which makes such a difference when the wedding day arrives.
A few images from the shoot are shown below together with a short video trailer.
