Cowdray Arboretum pre-wedding shoot with Archie the labrador

It’s so wonderful spending time in the countryside, especially when it’s at the Cowdray Park Arboretum. Today’s shoot was for Melissa and Robin, ahead of their 2017 wedding at the Tithe Barn in Petersfield, and we were joined by their black labrador Archie. Archie likes to find the biggest, most cumbersome sticks imaginable and then he’ll set about chewing it to pieces whilst bashing your shins in for good measure. He was a very well behaved dog, despite Robin’s bruises ;) A shoot like this is pretty much a walk through the countryside, occasionally stopping for brief moments, but always keeping the emphasis on a light and enjoyable experience. For a couple who are not great fans of the camera, you two were awesome and here’s my take on a thoroughly enjoyable hour and a half! Enjoy!
