Why Engagement Shoots Are Worth It
Planning your wedding? You might be wondering if an engagement shoot is worth it. The short answer? Absolutely! Engagement shoots are a fantastic way to get comfortable in front of the camera, celebrate your love story, and capture natural, fun moments before the big day.
👉 Worried about being in front of the camera? Here are a few tips to help you relax

More Than Just Photos – It’s About Connection
When my couples book an engagement session, we spend up to two hours together, and I absolutely love this time! It’s not just about capturing beautiful and fun photos—it’s about getting to know you both, hearing your love story, and sharing plenty of laughs along the way. These sessions help you feel more relaxed in front of the camera, so when your wedding day arrives, it feels natural, effortless, and like we’re just old friends having fun!

Feel Comfortable and Relaxed
Many couples tell me they’re nervous about having their photos taken. An engagement shoot is the perfect chance to shake off those nerves! As Sarah & James shared:
“We were both worried we’d look awkward, but Leanne made us feel so at ease. By the time our wedding day arrived, we felt like pros!”
This relaxed session means that on your wedding day, you’ll already know what to expect, making the photography feel effortless and fun.


Capture Your Love Story in a Personal Way
Your wedding is about you, and so is your engagement shoot! Whether it’s at your favorite park, the café where you had your first date, or even at home with a cup of tea, this shoot is all about capturing your love in a meaningful way.
Kerry & Ewan had their engagement shoot not far from their venue, Lains Barn, in a location that meant the world to them. Some of their photos were taken in the exact spot where Ewan proposed! After the session, they told me:
“We can’t wait to have you at our wedding!”
That’s what makes these sessions so special – they allow us to build that connection before the big day.
Bring Your Fur Babies Along! 🐾

I know that pets are part of the family, so if you want to bring your dog (or any other furry friend!) along to your engagement shoot, I’d love that! Whether it’s a playful pup running through the fields or a cuddle shot with your cat at home, including your pets makes your photos even more you. Just let me know in advance, and we’ll make sure they’re part of the fun!
Your Photos, Your Way
These images aren’t just for the wedding – use them for invitations, save-the-dates, a guest book, or just to frame around your home. Plus, they’re a great way to see how I work before the big day, ensuring we get the best shots when it matters most.
