For this special maternity and couple photoshoot I experienced a magical drive through the Alicante mountains to reach the location for the day, a beautiful boutique landscape hotel in the middle of Guadalest, Spain.

I wanted to create this guide because I know that so many of you are wanting to take better photographs of your children when you are at home.

I sat down (virtually!) with expert island wedding planner Anett Tarcsay, owner of The Wedding Company to ask all the questions you have ever wanted to ask a wedding planner!

Ask your photographer what to wear. Be prepared for all types of weather. Bring snacks. Bring toys. Ask your photographer about props. Location is everything. Arrive early. Timing is everything. Allow your children to be children. Trust your photographer.

Jenny and Danny had the most unique wedding in Penzance, Cornwall. It was the start of summertime, a late May afternoon, and the English countryside looked glorious.

In this digital age, I can not think of anything more important than to create memories together, in the real world. Investing in albums and prints is almost as important as taking the photographs themselves.
