Are you engaged and looking for a wedding photographer? Maybe it's your wedding or relationship anniversary, and you want to celebrate the time you have already spent together? Anyway, is there have to be any occasion to capture some great memories? Unfortunately, there are so many couples out there that don’t even have decent photos together. I hear that a lot. We remember taking pictures of our kids or animals, but we often forget about our loving partners, wives, husbands, fiancés, boyfriends, girlfriends, you name it.
If you are looking to capture some great connections you two have and create some great photos while spending some time together, getting to know this new face of your second half, this shoot is definitely for you! It will be romantic, intimate but also full of laughter. The photos you have taken can then proudly be displayed at your homes and be admired every time someone lookS at them.
Let me take you on that adventure! I am sure you will have a lot of fun while doing that!
few questions you may have about a shoot
WHAT's the location of the shoot?
The location of the shoot depends on your needs. I am a true local guide and probably know 99% of the best outdoor places to shoot in South Yorkshire and the Peak District. I always ask you what your ideas for a shoot are. Would you like it by the lake, in the forest, on top of the mountain or in the city? Travelling on location is included in your package up to 15 miles from Barnsley centre. If you want me to travel further, the cost of travelling is added to the package.
I like to believe that the shoot with me is also a visual experience. I often take you to places you have no idea exist. It's usually a combination of sightseeing and shooting :) I love being outdoors discovering new places, so I am sure you won't be bored with me.
How long is the shoot?
The shoot usually takes an hour or sometimes an hour and a half, depending on your chosen package. I typically take around 400 photos and then share the gallery with you, including around 100-120 edited photos. You can then select your favourites :) The gallery is valid for a month. You can download your pictures there or share your photos with friends and family!
What should I wear?
Depending on the season, I like to stick to whites, blacks and natural, earthy colours like beige and cream. I am always sending you a step-by-step guide about preparing for a shoot. There are plenty of valuable tips. :) We often discuss your outfit ideas on our zoom or phone consultation. You can wear a fancy dress or a more casual outfit. Everything depends on what effect you want to get. With the guide you receive from me, you should know exactly what to wear!
What do we discuss during our consultation?
The right preparation is 80% success. I like to know more about my couples before they come for a shoot, so we all feel more comfortable with each other. We discuss your expectations, vision, ideas, outfit, favourite photos, ideas for poses, potential concerns and beliefs you have about the shoot. We also discuss the location, any props you are thinking of and possible photo products you would like to have after the shoot, e.g. photo book or any large format prints. I want to provide an enjoyable experience for you. I am like a fairy godmother who makes your wishes come true!
How does the shoot look like?
Depending on the package you choose, you may have professional make-up done by my make-up artist. It will surely boost your confidence and make you feel very special that day.
Once we meet on the shoot, we will take a walk at our location, chat about how you feel and do some photos! I usually start with some poses while walking so you can warm up and not feel as stressed. You will feel more relaxed and comfortable with the camera as the shoot goes on. You will even start making jokes or having funny poses. I've seen it sooo many times :D You can see how all the tension is dropping, and you suddenly become very relaxed :)
You will have the chance to change your outfits and use different props if you want.
It will be a very fun experience!

SOme important thing to say...
WHILE BOOKING WITH ME, YOU PLANT 3 TREES!
As a huge nature lover, I decided to make a difference and, while doing my job, do something for our planet as well. So, together with ONE TREE PLANTED, I plant trees. So, each time you book a shoot with me, I plant 3 trees! I do this because our planet is our home, and you do take care of your home.
have you chosen your package? Are you ready for some romantic shots? :)
Here's what you need to do next
Choose the package you want and fill in the contact form below. If you think you would prefer to make some slight changes, let me know as well, we can adjust a package to your needs. After your package is chosen, you can choose the time slot and book your session on my booking site.
To secure the slot, the deposit of £100 needs to be paid upfront if the shoot is booked at least 4 weeks before. The rest of the amount is due 4 weeks before the shoot. If the time is shorter than 4 weeks, the full amount is due. The deposit is not refundable if the shoot is cancelled by the client.
Treat it like great fun, where you will create some fantastic memories and finally have so amazing photos to display at your home.

Popular questions
Do we receive the unedited images?
As a photographer, I consider myself being an artist who does not like to show unfinished work. Editing is part of the job. So, unfortunately, I don’t offer all the unedited images only the edited ones included within your package.
How far do you travel?
As far as you want me to! As I love to explore new places travelling has never been an issue. Extra travel costs can be added on top, depending on how far from Barnsley you want me to travel.
When will we receive our photographs?
Editing any pictures takes plenty of time. The more pictures you choose, the more it takes. If it's a small shoot like a family, maternity, couple or small birthday party or hen party, then it takes up to two weeks. If it is a wedding, then up to four weeks. I do my best to deliver the photos as soon as possible, so sometimes, if I am not that busy, you can have them quicker.
Do you require a deposit?
I ask my clients for a £100 deposit if they want to book a shoot more than 4 weeks in advance. The deposit is non-refundable if I am cancelled within 4 weeks before the shoot. The rest of the payment is due 4 weeks before the shoot or immediately if scheduled within a shorter period.
Can I order prints and albums?
Of course! All your photographs are provided at full quality with no watermarks, which means you’re welcome to print them away. I do bespoke photo books, photo boxes, large format prints, crystal boards, USB drives and traditional albums. You can have a read about them just above under PRINTED PRODUCTS.
What if it rains?
Everything can happen. If there is a rain prediction but not heavy rain, the shoot carries on as scheduled. I recommend taking some umbrellas and wellington boots, just in case :) Often after rain, you have the best sunsets and rainbows! If the weather is terrible, it's very stormy, windy and rainy, then I suggest some indoor locations, or we may reschedule the shoot however it rarely happens.
I don't know how to pose
First, you must stop worrying, forget everything you believe and think about traditional photography. Many of the photos I take are done while you are not looking! You will be moving around as well! I will guide you the entire time like you would be a total beginner. You need to keep your mind open for the experience, which will be great!
