If you go into the woods today...

... as well as seeing a strange group of teddy bears pottering about making a right nuisance of themselves trying to "surprise" passers-by, you would also have seen Sarah & Dan being photographed for their pre-wedding shoot.

Sarah suggested that we do the shoot in the woods in Dursley and that turned out to be a stroke of genius.

We got a cracking set of images despite the weather trying it's best to stop us.

Starting with some shots at, what I can only assume was, an abandoned caravan park we found on our quest, we progressed up a country lane and into the woods.

Sarah & Dan were great sports as I asked them to stop at every "interesting" point on the walk to add to the gallery images. And there were a lot.

Special mention goes to Sue, Sarah's Mum, who did a fantastic job of being my glamorous assistant. Sue was a star at handling the reflector which she carried around for the whole shoot. It's a pity Sue will have other plans on March 19th, when Sarah & Dan get married, as I think I have found the perfect aide.

And let us not forget Lacey, Sarah & Dan's dog. As well as making sure we weren't mugged by teddy bear hoodies she posed for a great shot of her looking every inch the canine-equivalent of a super-model. But without the bad attitude. Or the bad skin condition. Or the desire to be Britain's Next Top Model. I'd vote for her anyway.

Sarah & Dan's wedding has some special features that I'm really looking forward to capturing on film. I'm not sure how much is a secret so I won't give anything away yet. You'll need to wait until March for that.
