Engagement pictures

Capture your LOVE story

Vibrant, natural, and fun portraits

Whether you have chosen me as your Nottinghamshire wedding photographer, or not an engagement photoshoot is an amazing experience because most couples never have nice photos together!

Engagement photos can allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day, especially if you are a little camera shy (I get it, I am too!)

Plus, you can use your photos for your ‘save the date cards’, wedding invitations, and wedding service menu. Including using them as thank-you gifts to family, decorating your home, and using them for your profile photos on social media. See, very handy! It’s time to SLOW down and enjoy your experience as a couple.
