Engagement Photo Shoot

Whether you are planning a surprise proposal or have already got engaged and want to mark the occasion with some engagement photos, these ideas will help you plan your engagement photo shoot.


Marriage Proposal

Let's start with the surprise proposal because this one requires a little more planning. Usually the location is guided by you, as it generally has something to do with where you met or a location that's special to you both. I would normally meet you there beforehand so that we can doing a recce first and decide when and where. You will want the whole thing to be very natural and for it to unfold as it happens. However, if we are capturing your proposal on camera, it's always good to decide roughly where you will be and how we will retain the surprise with me being positioned to capture it all and stay out of the way at the same time! It is do-able and it is surprising how much people take no notice of someone wandering around with a camera, especially when it is outdoors or in a public place.


Once we have captured the proposal, we can do some natural engagement photos.

Engagement Photography

Somewhat easier to plan because one of you will already have said yes. An engagement photo shoot is such a beautiful way to mark this incredibly special time in your lives. The location could be where the proposal took place or somewhere different. Some couples opt to do this as a pre-wedding photo session in the months leading up to the wedding day. Although you will want to look your best, be natural because you get the best photos when you are just being yourself. If you opt for outdoors, think about the time of year and wrap up warm if we are out in autumn and winter.

Engagement Photos

Although your engagement photo shoot is probably no more than an hour long, When you sit and watch the slideshow of your engagement photos, it's like watching a story - your story. Each photo tells part of the story as it happened, whether that includes the proposal or engagement pictures to mark the occasion.
