Essex engagement shoot. The last rays of late afternoon autumn sunshine and a glorious golden leafed wood were the backdrop for Cheryl and Steve’s engagement shoot. As ever, engagement shoots are there to get some relaxed portraits before the wedding but the sessions are also useful to get a feel for being in front of the camera. The joy of an engagement shoot is the opportunity to take it easy, to achieve something in an hour or so that would I would probably have 10 minutes or so on the wedding day to get.
The woods where we went to are significant for Cheryl and Steve and always nice to be able to tie in something important like this into an engagement shoot. Like most grooms, Steve was a little wary of being in front of the camera but hopefully this settled any anxieties he had before being under the spotlight on their wedding day at Gosfield Hall.
Essex engagement shoot
The winter sunshine of this Essex engagement shoot was perfect. We were incredibly lucky! Crisp, clear winters day and lots of beautiful golden colours from the leaves on the trees. If you hit a day like this just right, it’s stunning. We can only hope that every day we get to photograph engagements and weddings is as lovely as this. Not always the case but we can always hope. It is England after all.
Beautiful light & a lovely set of images
