I had SOOO much fun on my first engagement shoot of 2021. We went for a low key, early morning stroll around Chorlton Water Park and took advantage of the rising sun. I asked Hannah and Alistar what their first dance song was going to be and I played it for them to help get them in the mood and to kickstart their morning adventure. The weather couldn’t have been better and the lighting turned the photos from amazing to MAGICAL! The sun was glistening through the trees and lighting up Hannah and Allistair’s silhouettes.
When I meet couples for the first time, whether at their weddings or at an engagement/adventure session, I like to make the couple feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. I don’t want them to look at it like a “photo shoot” but as a group of friends going for a walk or wander. What I loved the most about Hannah and Alistair was that they were a little bit quirky, like me, and they were up for creating non-tradional images.
Hannah and Alistair wanted to do an engagement shoot to get to know me and how I work a bit more and to feel comfortable in front of the camera ready for their big day. Honestly, these guys nailed it, as you can see for yourself:
