Extraordinary Engagement Photos

Get comfortable in font of the camera and update the artwork in your home

STEP 1

Schedule your session

Choose your date, time and shoot location. When choosing your location we suggest thinking about the following three types of environments, nature/parks, cities/urban and beaches. For some amazing location examples, check out the Q&A section at the bottom of this page.

During the summer we recommend shooting in the evenings to allow for softer more flattering light, in winter we suggest early afternoon. Please schedule your session no later than 6 months before your wedding day.

STEP 2

Prepare for your shoot

Once your shoot has been scheduled, it’s time to prepare!

Outfit tips for her:

There’s no such thing as too dressed up so don’t be afraid to go all out.
Trousers and play suits don’t photograph as well as a flowy dress.
Choosing a flowy dress allows for the showcase of motion. Go for colours that compliment your natural skin tone.
Heels look great and enhance posture
Skip the fake tan as this can often look streaky on camera
Avoid clothes with logos or branding

Outfit tips for him:

A well tailored suit or smart trousers and a shirt always look best on camera
Avoid jeans, T-Shirts, shorts or sandals
A fresh haircut is a must
Avoid stripes and patterns as they can be distracting.
Make sure that your tones compliment each other, for example, light blue and dark brown look great together, red and green does not.
Avoid clothes with logos or branding

STEP 3

Order Artwork

This part is the most fun. 2 weeks after your session we will invite you into the studio to go through your images and select which will become artwork for your home.

We have incredible fine art wall frames available. Most couples spend around £800 on artwork, but we have no minimum spend.

Digital files are also available for purchase at your viewing appointment.

Please take a photograph of any spaces in your home that you would like to display your artwork.

Schedule Your Session

Delays in booking your appointment will cause delays in production of your images so please select a date today.
