“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage” - Anais Nin.
You are here because you have a brave soul. You care too much, and feel everything. You're a romantic and you see beauty in the every day moments. You recognize the value in the ‘ordinary’ and know that to find a love like yours, is completely, extraordinary, and worth celebrating. Your shy infront of the camera but you also know that moments like this deserve to be captured exactly how they feel - like the movies.
The beauty of an Engagement shoot has many lasting benefits. Firstly, it helps you get to know your Photographer. Showing up to your ceremony with strangers snapping photos as you walk up the aisle can send the nerves over the edge. Your Wedding Photographer is the only person who gets to spend the entire day with you on your Wedding Day. An Engagement shoot gives you an opportunity to build confidence infront of the camera and get comfortable with your photographer. The more uncomfortable you are infront of the camera, the more I would recommend doing an Engagement shoot. An added bonus with Engagement shoots is that they are a tiny half price when booked in conjunction with a 5hr + Wedding, and payments can be absorbed in the Wedding costs. Another beautiful benefit of doing an Engagement shoot, is that it’s a quiet moment for the two of you to celebrate your love together, away from the crowds of family and guests. Many people like to use the images on their Engagement Party or Wedding Invitations, or as a projection slide during their Engagement, Rehearsal dinner or Wedding. Its also a nice way to announce on socials to the rest of the world that you are OFFICIALLY ENGAGED!

I am a documentary and editorial style photographer - so I will give you time to settle into the shoot, and guide you where needed. I wont be bossing you around the whole time, my goal is to preserve your experience, and capture the beautiful genuine moments of connection we find together. If you want to try to recreate something you have seen, we can give it a go, and I will come prepared with a few things in mind, but you will always find your stand out captures are the real and spontaneous ones between you and your partner.
