Gorgeous autumnal engagement shoot at Royal Victoria Country Park and Netley Abbey

When I met Lucy and Ian at their local park for their engagement shoot, they told me they were very awkward in front of the camera. People always say this before their shoot - and I know, its a strange experience! It's not every day you meet up with someone you barely know and then they ask you to be all snuggly in public while they take photos of you....

But you can almost guarantee that a few minutes in, once the novelty has worn off a little, people start to relax.

And just look at Lucy and Ian - they absolutely nailed their engagement shoot! They are just stunning and I can't wait to photograph their wedding at DoubleTree by Hilton in October.

You can add an engagement (or pre-wedding) shoot to any of my wedding packages, or just book one for a special occasion! They're always a lot of fun and we get more time to play around, experiment and have fun than we do on a wedding day.
