Engagement photography

A magical time before you are married, a time of excitement for the journey ahead…

Capture the anticipation of your big day with a beautiful set of images to cherish forever.

Your engagement, whether it be a whirlwind engagement or bonding of a long-term romance is a special time, a time of excitement and planning for your big day. Many wedding day decisions need to be made arguably the most important is who to choose as your wedding photographer.

For some couples their wedding album remains their most treasured possession, after the planning, the pouring over table plans, dress fittings, cake tastings, pre wedding nerves, the big day arrives. From my experience and that of my close friends we all wonder at how that day went by in a flash of laughter, tears and champagne toasts. After a few weeks your wedding photographs arrive and you get to relive every moment again and again.

Rachel & Luke’s engagement to Wedding

Rachel & Luke were engaged in the spring of 2019 at which point, they were recommend by a client of mine to check out my wedding photography. They liked my style and we met for a photography consultation, I showed them more of my work and we got to know each other, Rachel and Luke actually confirmed my services during the consultation, which was lovely, as I was expecting to wait until after the engagement shoot, but they were sure and we confirmed all the pre wedding details. The engagement shoot took place on a beautiful summer’s day at St. Andrews Woods in Shoreham, Kent, we had a walk through the woods and all the time the couple were getting used to being in front of the camera and I was able to give them tips for their big day poses. At the end of the shoot Luke was visibly more comfortable and was much more relaxed about photography on their wedding day. Their marriage took place in the summer of 2020 at the beautiful Coltsford Mill, Surrey.
