There are lots of things that can feel overwhelming and even a little intimidating about getting married. A photographer (or two!) following you about for the day is definitely one of those things for some people, so I really love it when a couple decides to spend some quiet time alone with me to get used to the process during an engagement session.

Anyone planning a wedding knows they can be complicated. That's why we adore engagement sessions. They are, quite simply, about two people in love. There's no dress to fuss over, no bridal party looking on, no timelines to stick to beyond those set by Mother Nature and there aren't 100 people waiting for us to hurry up and be creative so the party can get started.

One late afternoon at the tail end of Autumn's great big boast of beauty, I met Sarah and Hamish who are getting married with me in tow this September. The landscape then will be full to bursting with spring blossoms so this was an opportunity for us to get comfy with each other and get some beautiful images of them in a totally different natural environment.
