ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS

Inspired by the outdoors and the connection between two people, my engagement sessions blend candid storytelling with an editorial eye for light, landscape, and composition.

Rather than focusing on poses, I create space for genuine moments to unfold naturally. The result is a collection of images that feel relaxed, cinematic, and true to who you are together. Whether we're wandering through woodland trails, along the coastline, or across open countryside, the aim is always to create photographs that feel authentic, atmospheric, and uniquely yours.

Below you'll find a selection of photographs from a recent engagement session, showcasing the kind of imagery we can create together.

Every full day wedding booking includes a complimentary engagement session with travel within 1 hour of Ringwood and a carefully edited digital gallery. It's a relaxed opportunity for us to meet before the wedding day and helps you feel comfortable in front of the camera before the celebrations begin.

A standalone full engagement session is available for £320, perfect for couples who would like a collection of natural, atmospheric photographs together in a beautiful outdoor location. The session includes a private online gallery and a selection of professionally edited high-resolution images.

ENGAGEMENT SESSION - 28TH JUNE 2026

“Sam took the most amazing photos of my (soon to be) wife and I for an engagment photoshoot!

We were very nervous, having never really posed for photos and weren't sure what to expect. Sam put us at ease immediately, and captured these absolutely stunning photos. The shoot itself felt very relaxed, and deeply personal to my fiancee and I. Sam suggested Thordon Park in Brentwood as a backdrop, and truly let her vision run wild. The photos are beautiful and playful.

Sam delivered these photos back to us very quickly, and accessing the photos was very easy. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for an engagement shoot!”
