Real surprise engagement photography

Imagine this. You’re ready to propose to your significant other. The awkward conversation to ask for permission has happened. You’ve been and chosen the ring (maybe even bought it now too). You’ve decided on the location that you want to propose. But something’s missing… you’ll have the memories but wouldn’t it be even better to have some amazing photographs to look back on. Amazing engagement photos that you can share with your nearest and dearest. If that sounds like you then read on…

Naturally, being based in The Peak District most of my clients are looking to pop the question out here in the Peak District National Park. More granularly a lot of the Peak District surprise engagement photoshoots are in the Hope Valley. There’s an abundance of gorgeous gritstone edges with commanding views across a dramatic landscape. I work with you to help you find a suitable place in which you want to propose to your soon to be fiance, whether that is in the Hope Valley or beyond in the UK or even the world!

Wherever you choose for your surprise proposal location I’ll help you plan all the detail. Knowing exactly where to be at the right time in the right spot, in the best light, is crucial to give you some amazing engagement photos. I use What3Words to help plan the location for you to be at for your engagement photoshoot as well as where to park up and the perfect route to walk along as well. You can take all of this with you in the What3Words app on your smartphone.

I’ve done surprise engagement proposal photos many many times now and I love every single one I do. Much like I enjoy every wedding I photograph too. The best part in this is that you get someone who’s experienced in doing this, someone who can remain discreet, professional, reliable and more importantly can deliver the photos you want.

Proposing to someone can be a really daunting thing to do. Trust me, I’ve done it so I know what it’s like. I am here to talk you through how to make sure your proposal is a success so we can get you some great natural photos of your surprise engagement. As well as capturing those all important real reactions as you pop the question! I’ll help you plan everything and I am always at the end of the phone or an email/text/WhatsApp when you need any advice.
