Courtenay & Olly: Autumn Engagement Shoot in Bedfordshire

Autumn is one of my favourite times of year to shoot, particularly as we approach November as the trees provide us with such warm and vibrant backdrops for photos! Courtenay & Olly’s engagement shoot took me back to Chicksands Woods in Bedfordshire, and it was just the perfect place to capture their love amongst the autumn colours.

It’s always special to have the opportunity to meet up before a couple’s big day, and I loved chatting with them about their engagement and wedding planning between shots. They looked so cosy in their Barbour jackets and they were all smiles as we walked through the rust-coloured ferns. It felt like just going for a walk with friends and that’s how I always want my shoots to feel!

Despite a few reschedules due to COVID, their wedding day proved to be just as fantastic as I had expected and it was such a joy to capture from start to finish. I look forward to sharing it in a future post soon!

Thank you! The photos are amazing - we love them. I am already excited to see our wedding photos!
