Two broad approaches sit behind most engagement shoots: traditional, which prioritises clarity and consistency, and editorial, which goes after mood and story instead, often at the expense of a bit of that uniformity.
Traditional suits situations where the images need to look uniform or straightforwardly professional. Editorial suits situations where personality and atmosphere matter more.
Neither is objectively better. The right choice depends entirely on what the images are for, and that’s worth raising before an engagement shoot is booked, not after the style has already been picked for you by default.

Pricing, process and everything else sits on the Engagement Shoots page, and a direct message gets a straight answer faster than a search ever will, so get in touch if in doubt.
FAQs
Quick answers, no fluff.
Can we use the images for save-the-dates or a wedding website?
Yes, that is exactly what most couples do with them. High-resolution files suitable for print come along with web-sized versions.
Where do engagement shoots happen?
Wherever means something to the couple: where they met, a favourite park, their own street. A London suggestion is easy to make if wanted.
