Choosing a Spot Close to Your Heart
How about choosing a spot close to your heart? A location that holds a special place in your relationship.
Imagine you and your partner, standing in front of the place where you had your first date.
The memories come flooding back – the nervous butterflies, the awkward small talk, and the undeniable chemistry that sparked that night. Or how about the park where you both used to spend lazy Sundays, walking hand in hand and stealing kisses under the shade of a tree?
Those are the kinds of moments that make your relationship unique, and capturing them in your engagement photoshoot will make them all the more special.
It’s not just a location; it’s a reminder of the love and laughter you have shared along the way. And trust me, when you look back at those photos in years to come, you will be transported back to that very spot, reliving those precious moments and falling in love all over again.
The Magic of Selecting Your Proposal Site
How about taking a stroll down memory lane and choosing the spot where your partner proposed?
Picture this – you and your beloved, standing in front of that park bench where they nervously got down on one knee. You will remember it all – the shaky hands, the gasps of surprise, and the overwhelming joy that filled the air.
Or how about that rooftop restaurant where they popped the question, under a sky full of stars and with a breathtaking view of the city? Those are the kinds of moments that make your relationship sparkle.
So why not relive that special moment and choose where you got engaged for your engagement photoshoot? When you look back at those photos years from now, you will be transported back to that very spot.
Somewhere You Have Always Wanted to Visit
If you don’t necessarily want an engagement photoshoot near you and you and your partner have always dreamt of visiting a specific destination in an area slightly further, why not make it the backdrop for your engagement photoshoot?
It’s the perfect opportunity to not only capture your love but also cross that dream destination off your bucket list. As an engagement and wedding photographer based in Somerset, there are so many incredible spots surrounding us such as Devon, Dorset, Wiltshire, the Cotswolds and even up to South Wales!
Choosing a destination you have always wanted to visit for your engagement shoot adds an extra layer of excitement and adventure to the experience. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to incorporate your shared passions and dreams into the photos.
So go ahead, get ready for the photoshoot of a lifetime in a place you have always wanted to visit.

Tips for Making Your Shoot as Unique as You Are
So, you have chosen the perfect location for your engagement photoshoot, but now you are wondering how to make it as unique as you and your partner are.
Firstly, don’t be afraid to get creative with props. Whether it’s a vintage bicycle, a bouquet of helium balloons, or even a quirky hat, adding a touch of whimsy to your photos can bring out your personality and make the shoot truly personal.
Secondly, let loose and have fun! Don’t be afraid to be silly, laugh, and dance like nobody’s watching. The more relaxed and natural you are, the more your love will shine through in the photos.
Next, think about incorporating your hobbies and interests into the shoot. Are you both avid bookworms? Why not have a photo shoot in a library or bookshop?
Are you foodies? Consider a picnic in a lovely park.
And finally, don’t be afraid to experiment with different angles and perspectives. As your photographer I am all about candid and natural shots, but it doesn’t hurt to have some fun too, right?
Remember, this is your shoot, we will do what makes you comfortable!
