What to wear on your engagement shoot.
When it comes to preparing for your engagement shoot, choosing the right clothing can elevate your photos to the next level. Opting for a smart casual look with simple designs and natural colors is a timeless choice that ensures the focus remains on you and your partner. Neutral tones like whites, creams, soft blues, and earthy tones work beautifully against most backgrounds and seasons, creating a clean and sophisticated aesthetic.
Preston Park - Kirsty and Joe’s Engagement shoot
This was an incredible experience - an engagement shoot for two souls deeply in love, Kirsty and Joe, surrounded by the enchanting landscape of Preston Park in Stockton on Tees. As I walked into the park with my camera in hand, I could sense a nervous energy emanating from both of them. It's completely normal for anyone to feel a bit self-conscious when being photographed, especially in such an intimate setting. But, as we began to explore the park together, something magical happened.
