Engagement/couples Portfolio
An engagement shoot is the perfect way to celebrate your love story before the big day. It’s a relaxed, fun experience that lets you capture the genuine connection between you and your partner. Plus, it’s a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera, so you’ll feel confident and at ease on your wedding day.
There’s nothing I adore more than getting outdoors to capture memories for couples.​As someone from Rostrevor (now living in Hilltown), I feel truly blessed by the breathtaking outdoor beauty spots we have right on our doorstep. It’s a sentiment my family is all too familiar with—especially when I’m trying to tear them away from their screens to enjoy the great outdoors!​I understand that being in front of the camera doesn’t always come naturally to couples, which is why I believe the complimentary shoot included in each wedding package is so valuable. It’s a chance to ease any worries before the big day and realize that being photographed isn’t as daunting as it might seem. In fact, I’ve yet to have a shoot where—by the end—the groom-to-be doesn’t admit they enjoyed it far more than they expected! So, take a little time for yourselves, book the shoot, and just enjoy it. xx
