Your Engagement & Proposal Photography Experience
From the moment you get in touch, I’ll help you plan every detail to ensure your shoot is relaxed, meaningful, and reflects your relationship.
Pre-Shoot Planning
We’ll discuss your ideas, locations, and any special touches you’d like to include. For surprise proposals, I’ll help you plan the timing and positioning so I can capture the moment perfectly without being seen.
Choosing Your Location
From sandy beaches and coastal cliffs to historic towns and rural landscapes, Dorset offers a stunning variety of settings. I’ll guide you towards the best options for lighting, privacy, and atmosphere.
On the Day
For proposals, I’ll position myself discreetly to capture the exact moment you pop the question, along with candid reactions afterwards. Engagement sessions can be more relaxed, with gentle direction for flattering and natural shots.
After the Shoot
All chosen images are professionally edited to enhance colour, lighting, and detail, while keeping them true to the moment. You’ll receive your images in a secure online gallery, ready to download, share, and print.
