What is engagement photography?
Engagement photography is a 60–90 minute session for a newly engaged couple: portraits of you together, often in a place that matters to your story, taken some time after the proposal rather than during it. The photographs are often used for save-the-dates, a wedding website or simply to mark the engagement.
Sessions start from £300, with professionally edited digital images delivered in a private online gallery. The extra time compared with a standard couple photoshoot allows for a second location or an outfit change. It's also a good way to meet a photographer before a wedding. See engagement photography in London.
What’s included
- 60–90 minutes with your photographer
- Couple portraits and engagement storytelling
- Time for a second nearby spot or an outfit change
- Professionally edited digital images
- A private online gallery
Who it’s for
Newly engaged couples who didn't have a photographer at the proposal, or who did and want a longer, planned session. It suits couples who want photographs for save-the-dates, a wedding website or their home, and those who want to get comfortable in front of a camera before the wedding.
If you haven't proposed yet and want the moment itself photographed, look at proposal photography.

How to prepare
Think about places that tell your story: where you met, your first date, the neighbourhood you live in, or somewhere you love to walk. Your photographer can help you choose spots with good light nearby.
Plan two outfits if you want variety, such as one smart and one relaxed. Get a manicure if you'd like close-ups of the ring. If you need the photos for save-the-dates, tell us your print deadline so it can be reflected in the quote, and consider rush delivery.
Where to have it photographed
Availability depends on photographers in each area and is confirmed with your quote.
Engagements: your questions
How is this different from a couple photoshoot?
It is longer (60–90 minutes against 45–60), so there is time for a second location or outfit change, and it is planned around your engagement, including ring details.
Can the same photographer cover our wedding?
Possibly. Mention your wedding date and venue when you enquire and we will check whether a suitable photographer is available for both.
When should we have the session?
Any time after the proposal. If the photos are for save-the-dates, allow enough time for editing and printing, and consider rush delivery.
Can we bring props or a pet?
Yes. Mention them when you enquire and check that pets are allowed at your chosen location.
