It was lovely capturing Sophie and Glenn’s Chester engagement shoot. We met up on an overcast but dry day in October and started our photoshoot in Chester’s Roman gardens.
For engagement photography, it’s always a good idea to choose a location that is familiar and special to you as a couple as you relax in familiar surroundings and are quicker to forget about the camera and just enjoy one another’s company.
I say one another but there was a third party in attendance who was in danger of being a bit of show stealer and that was Sophie and Glenn’s gorgeous new puppy.
Experienced Chester Engagement Photographer
The ancient city of Chester made the perfect location for a romantic engagement photoshoot. The Roman ruins making an excellent backdrop in photos, as well as the Roman Gardens, the River Dee and the iconic Queens Park Bridge.
Engagement photography is increasing in popularity. Some couples choose to have engagement photography as they say that they feel uncomfortable being photographed or that they never like pictures of themselves. Engagement photography is an opportunity to fix all of these worries. It’s a chance for couples to get used being photographed before their wedding and if they need it, we can give them tips to help them to be more comfortable in front of the camera. So that it won’t be an issue on their wedding day.
Although we chose a quiet time, we had to be patient to get the images of Sophie and Glenn on the tree lined path in the Roman gardens. Though it was worth the wait, here take a look!
Storytelling engagement photography in Chester
There was a point where we had to give in to the puppy’s unbelievable cuteness and get some portrait images of him alone. They’re adorable!
We then got some lovely images of Sophie and Glenn in the bandstand before heading to the river and the iconic Queens Park Bridge for some more images. We then headed into a clearing in some trees to capture some romantic portraits of Sophie and Glenn.
Many of our previous engagement photography images are used by couples in their wedding stationery like invitations, guest books and thank you cards. Talking of wedding days, Sophie and Glenn are getting married in Ireland where Sophie’s family are based.
