Norfolk Beach Engagement Shoot

I was so stoked when Malte & Louise decided to tailor their package to include a Beach Engagement Shoot – although it was a little further afield to where I usually travel, I just have to highlight to you some of my favourites.

When you consider the time that you are taking to meet with a wedding planner to plan your wedding there are a lot of hours going into it. This is where couple shoots / engagement shoots provide value – you get to achieve some beautiful portraits of just you and your spouse, before your wedding day, to get you excited for the big day. You can also see the angles you like/dislike, and communicate that with me or have in mind when enjoying your couple shoot on your wedding day.

I’ma tell you now, I missed the sea when I lived in Cambridge. So to do a Norfolk Beach Engagement Shoot while I was living in theree made me so nostalgic of having had my whole childhood on the doorstep of the ocean. I now live in Ramsgate and I’m so so thankful to be able to use the outdoor spaces for a beach engagement shoot now.

Seals on the beach in Norfolk?!

I had NO IDEA that the beach which was suggested by the couple had so many seals!? Such an awesome surprise. When I say so many seals, I’m not exaggerating either – the seals even had their own security guards, which I think is one of the coolest job titles ever. Can you spot them dotted on the beach in the background?

I’ve had all sorts of animals on a beach engagement shoot – even down to horses, wild swimmers, dogs running around, and bumping into old friends. I love the variety that comes with photographing outdoors.

Sand Dunes are a Great Location for a Beach Engagement Shoot

Anyway, we got to run down some dunes – it also kept us warm! With documentary photography I am all about capturing moments rather than intricate posing. The smiles this couple had between them were genuine – not because I said cheese but because they were being careful not to trip and they got the giggles!

And when walking on your beach engagement shoot doesn’t warm you up there’s always big coated cuddles. There doesn’t have to be hours of posing, you can always cuddle each other and enjoy the time you have together.

Life after getting married quickly changes. For me it feels like an age ago when I got married, and I think I would have loved a beach engagement shoot to celebrate this milestone. For others, if kids happen to come along you can become so accustomed to the face that captivated you all those years ago. So, grab that face, and enjoy it. If you’d like to hear directly from my couples and learn a little more about my creative approach, have a read of this article on why people say I’m the best wedding photographer.

Most of my couples on a beach engagement shoot begin to believe that they will actually look themselves on their wedding day and that the photographs will be beautifully natural. However some people want the proof, a confidence boost or even just images for your save the dates, so a beach engagement shoot becomes super handy in that scenario.

Enjoy the time that you are engaged, it goes super quick, and if you’d like to book a shoot get in touch here. We either find a local location for a beach engagement shoot or can do home sessions, take an adventure elsewhere, whatever helps to tell the story of you.
