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.

Exploring Unique Locations for Your Engagement Shoot

So, you’re looking for a unique location for your engagement photoshoot? 

In this section, I delve deep into the world of hidden gems, those secret spots that will make your engagement photos stand out from the rest.

Forget about the usual parks and gardens, it’s time to think outside the box! How about a fun and quirky photoshoot in an amusement park? You can snack on sugar doughnuts and we can embrace all the colours and lights that flood the park – these make for epic photos.

If you’re more of a thrill-seeking couple, why not consider a photoshoot on top of a skyscraper? As you pose on the edge, with the cityscape stretching out behind you, the adrenaline will be pumping through your veins.

And let’s not forget about the hidden forests and secret gardens waiting to be discovered. Lose yourselves in the enchanting beauty of nature as you stroll hand in hand along a secluded path, surrounded by towering trees and blooming flowers.

When it comes to finding hidden gems for your engagement shoot, the sky’s the limit!

So go ahead and think outside the box, know what will best reflect your personality and let your imagination run wild!

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!
