A location with atmosphere can make for a different kind of shoot, especially if couples want to go beyond the studio.

Always a good option when the weather is not so fine or when people are feeling a little bit shy

In the studio people can relax and be themselves.

Engagement portraits are fun! Here by the Irish Sea on the North Wirral coast and country park, opposite Liverpool.

Taken at the Doubletree by Hilton in Chester it is good to visit a venue with a couple to discuss images they would like.

Always trying to work in some personality to every portrait.

If you want to re-create the 'first meeting' or  'proposal' moment I am happy to do that for you. This couple met on a blind date in Chester and then when visiting again chose that opportunity to decide to get married.

If you prefer to meet somewhere locally in Chester there is no extra charge as I can walk to you. This picture taken at a popular spot in Chester down by the River Dee on the suspension bridge above The Groves.

This beautiful couple were married at Inglewood Manor and as part of the pre-wedding meeting we got together and discussed where they would like their wedding pictures taken at this beautiful and popular venue.

...to engagement shoot on the same spot.

A chance to meet, relax with the camera, and me! And recce the venue, Bramhall Hall.
