Adam and Mandi’s Blake Hall Engagement Shoot

Blake Hall Engagement Photography by Essex wedding photographer James Thomas.

I recently met Adam and Mandi at Blake Hall in the beautiful Essex countryside to run through some of the plans ahead of their wedding next year and at the same time capture some engagement photographs for them. Blake Hall is a beautiful venue and offers so many photographic opportunities, Mandi was keen to get some photographs in the rose garden and no shoot at Blake Hall would be complete without an image on the swing.

Where to Have an Engagement Shoot

I often photograph engagement shoots for my couples at their chosen wedding venue as its nice for them to see where their actual wedding photographs will be captured. They don’t have to be though, you can have your engagement shoots anywhere that’s special to you, It could be in on the coast, a nice park, I have even captured them with pets including horses. We will often discuss ideas during the initial consultation and its always nice to hear my couple’s stories and come up with something really unique to them. If you like the thought of Blake Hall Engagement Photography please get in touch and I’d be very happy to help and advise you in any way I can.

Great Ideas for Your Engagement Photos

Mando and Adam’s wedding isn’t until October 2020 but its always good to start planning early and the great thing about the engagement shoot is they can use the images for their save the date cards or invitations.

Engagement Shoots

Engagement shoots are a great way to get comfortable being photographed and allow us to go through what works for you and the styles you like. They are always relaxed with no time pressures, it gives me an opportunity to explain why I might ask you to stand in a certain way so you will have an understanding of how to look amazing in your wedding photographs.
