A picturesque vineyard, beautiful golden hour light and this gorgeous pair made for an utterly romantic vineyard wedding venue e-shoot! It looks like we are over the channel in France from the dreamy light but would you believe it, this gorgeous session was captured in Surrey. Rhian and Oli (who are tying the knot later this year at Cain Manor, Surrey) chose to enjoy the surroundings of Denbies Wine Estate for their engagement session.

We had so much fun exploring, chatting about their wedding plans and playing around in the vines! It’s always a pleasure to meet my clients in advance of their big day, I always feel like it brings us closer together in preparation for the most important day of their lives.

It was vines for miles, all drenched in warm summer sun!

I’m actually capturing a stunning vineyard wedding this July at Château de Mazelières in France which I’m also super excited about. There’s something so romantic and elegant about vineyard weddings don’t you think?

I told you we had fun…

Considering an engagement shoot ahead of your big day? Then here are a few tips for you…

3 Top Tips For Your Engagement Shoot:

• I LOVE it when my couples pick a location that is special or sentimental to them in some way, failing that always choose the beach 😉
• Clean your engagement ring! I love to shoot a few rings shots during our session, the sparklier the better for photos!
• I’ve said this before but… Relax! You don’t have to be a pro at this! I’m going to help you along the way and it’s going to be fun! Enjoy this time together, and make a date out of it! Plan dinner afterwards and celebrate!!
