Everything about this engagement shoot makes me happy.

Fun couple. Gorgeous location. Pretty pictures. So much love.

Olivia and Lucas tie the knot at Lodge Farm near Hitchin later this summer. I’ll be there to capture their big day story and we’d arranged an engagement shoot as a big day warm up. An opportunity for us to chat and get to know each other a little, as well as a chance for them to shake off any pre-wedding camera nerves, whilst getting some lovely shots of the two of them before they say their I-dos.

For a couple who’ve never had professional photos taken, this gorgeous pair were total naturals in front of the camera, and as prologues to the big occasion go, this shoot was pretty special.

Ever hopeful of catching some of the pretty light around golden hour, we’d arranged an evening shoot. Whilst the cloud gods were against us, we were at least grateful that the rain held off. And besides, cloud isn’t such a bad thing. Take a look – I’m certainly not complaining.

Roll on August – I’m looking forward to more of the same x
