Stories — The Prologue
Engagement photography
A relaxed engagement/pre-wedding shoot.
what's included — the prologue
Photographs of the two of you without a wedding timetable running in the background.

The Prologue is a relaxed engagement/pre-wedding shoot lasting around an hour. We can go somewhere familiar, take the dogs for a walk or choose a place that simply gives us room to move around without an audience.

The Prologue | £295

Not a practice wedding
An engagement shoot is useful because there is no pressure to recreate the wedding day early.

It gives you a chance to see how I work, find out what level of direction feels comfortable and come away with good photographs of the two of you in clothes you actually wear. By the wedding, the camera is no longer an unknown quantity.

That can be particularly helpful if one or both of you usually avoids photographs.

What should we do?
EXPAND
You do not need to invent an activity for the sake of photographs. A walk gives us movement, changing backgrounds and something to do between frames. A favourite town, open countryside or the place where you spend your weekends can all work.

Dogs are welcome. Sensible shoes are welcome. Looking like yourselves is the point.
If you hate having your photograph taken
EXPAND
Most couples tell me some version of this before we begin.

The first few minutes can feel strange because having a camera nearby is unusual. It settles quickly once we start moving and talking. I will not leave you standing in silence while I wait for something natural to happen, and I will not force you through a list of poses that feels nothing like you.

After the moment — Kelly & Mark
"Looking at the photos was such a surreal and emotional moment for me, I cried when I first watched the slideshow and looked through them!"
