Autumnal Engagement Shoots

Fall in love all over again

Autumnal engagement shoots are all about embracing the season and having fun with a theme. There are so many ways to create a fabulous, cosy autumn engagement shoot – rich colours, beautiful settings and a good excuse to get close with your new fiancé! Here’s some of our favourite inspiration for an autumn engagement shoot.

Create fireworks!

Just the other day I was watching fireworks from a nearby display when strains of Ed Sheeran wafted my way and a little way off a proposal was taking place. Meticulously planned to coincide with the fireworks, under a favourite tree with a favourite song… could it have been any more romantic?!

Cuddle up and get cosy

Flannel shirts are the epitome of cosiness, but with the bitterness of winter looming in the distance you don’t have to reach for a coat quite yet. Warm and comforting, flannels in autumn shades bring a gorgeously relaxed vibe.

Find a forest

It goes without saying that the colours of autumn are a stunning addition to any photo shoot. Find a forest in autumnal transition and you have a ready made backdrop full of rich hues.

Add some flare

A low sun does wonders for a gorgeous light flare! Make the most of the seasonal light to add some atmosphere to your photos.

Savour the season

If you want a different feature for your pictures, find some seasonal props to add interest. Apples and pumpkins create a gorgeous pop of colour and why not use the abundance of fallen leaves to create some fun?!
