Deciding what day
As your photographer, I understand that every detail counts when it comes to creating beautiful and memorable photos. One of the most crucial aspects that come with planning your engagement shoot is selecting the right date and time to make it all come to life.

Wardrobe and Styling Advice
Your choice of Wardrobe and styling play a significant role in creating beautiful photos that truly capture your essence. I'd love to dive into the world of fashion and provide guidance on coordinating outfits, dressing comfortably, accessorising thoughtfully, and why wearing whites, blacks, and neutral tones in a casually dressed style can elevate your engagement photos.
