“Nicola has done such a wonderful job making us feel beautiful! My partner was slightly apprehensive as he doesn't like having his photo taken but straight away he was smiling and laughing and we both came away feeling really excited for the wedding. Nicola put us at ease and was really great at explaining ways we could pose. The whole experience was really enjoyable and we are now so excited to see what images she captures from the big day. Couldn’t recommend her enough. And for any unsure as to whether you should have an engagement shoot both me and my partner have both said it was a great way to get to know Nicola’s way of working to help us feel at ease on the big day, and it was just a really lovely to spend time together.”

YOU MAY BE WONDERING...

DO WE HAVE TO have AN ENGAGEMENT SHOOT?

Not at all, it’s completely optional. But many couples find it a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera and get to know my way of working before the big day. Plus, it’s a lovely chance to celebrate this exciting season of your lives.

WHEN SHOULD WE SCHEDULE THE SHOOT?

Most couples book their shoot 3–6 months before the wedding, however can can also be up to a year before, it really depends on your schedule and the season you're hoping for. If you’re dreaming of golden light or spring blossoms, we’ll time it just right.

WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?

Something you feel confident and comfortable in! Neutral tones and coordinated (but not matching) outfits work beautifully. I’ll send over a style guide with tips to help you plan, and you’re welcome to bring a quick outfit change if you’d like some variety.

WHAT’S THE PURPOSE OF AN ENGAGEMENT SHOOT?

It’s a relaxed, no-pressure session where we get to know each other a bit better. You'll get used to how I work behind the camera, and I’ll learn how you naturally interact. The images can be used for save-the-dates, a wedding website, order of service or simply as a beautiful keepsake.

WHERE WILL THE SHOOT TAKE PLACE?

I’m happy to suggest locations based on the vibe you're going for, romantic countryside, urban streets, the coast, or even somewhere meaningful to you both like your first date spot or favourite walk. If you want to include a champagne pop, a picnic, or anything else that feels "you", go for it. This session should reflect your personalities.

WHAT IF WE’RE CAMERA SHY OR FEEL AWKWARD?

That’s totally normal and I promise you’re not alone. My job is to help you feel relaxed and enjoy the experience. I’ll gently guide you with natural prompts and give you space to just be yourselves. No forced poses, no pressure.

Still UNDECIDED?

Asides from capturing memories, couple sessions have many benefits in the lead-up to your wedding day. Most importantly, they help you to relax in front of the camera on the big day, as well as getting to know your photographer’s way of working in advance of the wedding.
