Before the big day,
make it yours.
An hour or two, a location you love, and a completely relaxed afternoon together. You come away with a beautiful set of photographs — and you'll feel a hundred times more comfortable in front of the camera on your wedding day.
Planning your wedding comes with so many decisions. A couples shoot is one of the best you can make.
Engagement and pre-wedding sessions are about far more than beautiful pictures. They're a chance to get to know your photographer, to get completely comfortable in front of the camera, and to create images that are entirely, authentically yours — in your style, at your pace, in the places that matter most to you.
It's not about perfect poses. It's about capturing your real smiles, your connection, the way you actually are together.
Why couples love them.
Every couple is different — some love being in front of a camera, others need a bit of help getting there. An engagement shoot helps everyone, wherever you're starting from.
Get comfortable in front of the camera
Many couples feel a little camera-shy at first — and that's completely normal. A couples shoot gives you a chance to see how easy and fun it can be. Get to know your photographer, learn how to feel confident and relaxed in front of the lens. When the wedding day comes, you'll be ready to enjoy every moment without worrying about your photographs.
Most couples haven't been photographed properly since school. By the end of an engagement shoot, the camera barely registers.
Capture memories from a special location
There may be a dream location that's meaningful to your relationship — the place you first met, a favourite hiking trail, the beach you walk every weekend, your family farm. A location that just isn't practical to include on your wedding day.
A couples shoot is the perfect opportunity to create images in those places that are personal and unique to your story. Years from now, you'll be showing your kids those photographs — taken in the exact spot where your story started.
Bring the dog, the bike, your thing
Wedding days are full. There usually isn't room for the dog, the motorbike, the vintage Land Rover, the boat, the campfire, the kayak. Engagement shoots are completely yours — bring whatever is part of your story and we'll build the shoot around it.
Or use it as an excuse to do something you've always wanted to try together. The best shoots come from couples who make it completely theirs.
Update your couple photos — and use them everywhere
Be honest — when was the last time someone took a proper photograph of the two of you? Not a selfie at a wedding. A real one. An engagement shoot leaves you with a beautiful set of edited images you can print, frame, send to family, and use as save-the-dates or on your wedding website.
When family and friends see your photographs, it builds excitement for the big day and helps everyone feel more relaxed and enthusiastic about joining in for wedding pictures — creating more natural, heartfelt moments on the day itself.
We get to know each other
By the time your wedding morning rolls around, I already know how you laugh, what makes you uncomfortable, who keeps a straight face the longest. I know what poses work for you and what feels awkward. I always feel more excited turning up on a wedding day when I already know the couple.
It feels like catching up with friends. And it shows in the photographs.
An afternoon. No fuss.
We agree a location together — somewhere that means something to you, or somewhere we both think will photograph beautifully. Allow around an hour and a half on the day. Wear what makes you feel like yourselves but avoid big logos on your clothes — it keeps the photos timeless.
You'll get the full edited set delivered through a private online gallery, ready to download, print and share. Delivered in a few weeks.
£300 as an add-on to any wedding package. It's one of the most-booked extras — for good reason.
Jordan and I are absolutely blown away by all of the photos — the perfect mix of candid and directed, captured absolutely perfectly. Thank you for all your hard work on the day and after, and for staying on last minute for the evening. We love them all. It's going to be a very tough job to narrow some down for an album.
