I loved Jenna and Tom’s Swettenham Arms engagement shoot. We spent a lovely evening walking around the arboretum before enjoying a drink in the lavender fields. The weather was perfect and we had such fun! Enjoy some highlights from the shoot.

What I really loved about this shoot was how Jenna and Tom relaxed into each other as the shoot went on. They were both pretty uncomfortable, to begin with, and feeling pretty self-conscious about being in front of the camera. This is totally normal and I struggle with it myself so I always know how my couples feel. After a half-hour or so of chatting, lots of laughs, and some easy relaxed poses they started to really enjoy themselves. By the time we got to the lavender fields, they were totally relaxed and just having a great time. Perfect!

Swettenham Arms Engagement

I’m really looking forward to Tom and Jenna’s wedding in April next year. Their reception will be at Hartford Golf Club, one of my favourite venues. Can’t wait! For more engagement shoots see here.

Couples sessions don’t have to be awkward. They are a great way to get to know your photographer and I think they make a really good date night!
