Engagement Photographer
Ready to tell your story before the big day?
Engagement Photography
Engagement photos that feel like you
Whether you’re newly engaged or counting down to the big day, an engagement session is the perfect way to celebrate this chapter of your story. I create engagement photos that feel effortless, personal, and true to who you are- no awkward posing, no cheesy gimmicks- just the two of you, being yourselves.
Why book an engagement shoot?
It’s a chance to slow down and connect
Wedding planning can be full-on. Think of your engagement session as a breather—an hour or two to press pause and just enjoy each other’s company, with me quietly documenting the in-between moments that make your relationship yours.
Get comfortable in front of the camera
If you’re a bit camera-shy (most of us are!), an engagement shoot is a great way to ease into the experience. You’ll get to know how I work, and come away feeling more confident and relaxed ahead of your wedding day.
Photos you’ll actually want to print
These aren’t just warm-up shots. You’ll receive a collection of beautifully edited images you can use for save-the-dates, or simply frame them for your home.
Location ideas across Wales, Shropshire and Herefordshire
Here are some favourite engagement shoot spots:
Elan Valley, Mid Wales – dramatic views and wild landscapes
Carding Mill Valley, Shropshire Hills – soft light and open spaces
Hergest Ridge, Herefordshire – peaceful meadows and panoramic scenery
Local towns or your home – perfect for a relaxed and personal feel
Have a meaningful place in mind? Let’s go there.
What to expect
My approach is simple and natural. We’ll meet somewhere meaningful or scenic and take a gentle walk, pausing to capture real moments along the way. You’ll receive guidance without feeling stiff or overly posed.
Expect lots of laughter, movement, and time to just enjoy being together. Sessions usually last around 60 to 90 minutes.
Secret & Surprise Engagement Shoots
Planning the perfect proposal? Let’s capture the moment they say yes
If you’re dreaming of a romantic surprise proposal, I’m here to help you plan and photograph the moment in a way that feels personal, natural, and unforgettable. Whether you’re popping the question on a remote Welsh hillside or in your favourite Shropshire village, I’ll be there discreetly documenting every second.
How it works
We plan together
Tell me your idea, location, and timing. I’ll help you work through the details, from choosing the right spot to figuring out the best light. Whether you’re after quiet countryside or a dramatic view, I know plenty of hidden gems across Mid Wales, Herefordshire, and Shropshire.
The big moment
On the day, I’ll arrive early and blend into the background so your partner has no idea. I’ll photograph the moment you propose, their reaction, and those joyful just-engaged emotions, all without interfering.
A short couple session
After the surprise, we’ll take a few relaxed portraits to mark the occasion while the excitement is still fresh. It’s low-pressure, natural, and completely tailored to how you want the moment remembered.
Your day, your way.
I’ll simply be there to capture it
Hi, I’m Charlotte- a Mid Wales wedding photographer with a heart for real moments.
Based among the rolling hills, I travel the length and breadth of Wales, Shropshire and Herefordshire capturing weddings that feel as genuine as the people at their centre. After years behind the lens, I’ve learned that the best photographs aren’t staged- they’re lived. That’s why my couples describe my work as relaxed, documentary-led and quietly creative.
“The photos you have produced are absolutely breathtaking. I am beyond grateful.”
