    One of the great advantages of having a pre wedding shoot | engagement photo shoot with us is being able to slow down and take your time – a luxury we often don’t have at a wedding. There are no guests eager to have you back at the party, there are no wedding venues keen to get you seated, and there isn’t the added ‘hectic vibe’ that so often comes with a wedding day.

    Many of our brides and grooms have a pre wedding shoot, but you don’t need to have booked us for your wedding to enjoy an engagement shoot with us. We have had the total joy of creating some awesome engagement pictures for couples from the UK, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, India, Canada, America, and Borneo. In fact, many of these couples loved their engagement photoshoot with us so much … they ended up booking us for their destination weddings!

    We love pre weddings shoots | engagement photo shoots | engagement sessions | engagement photography … whatever you like to call them! After 16 years in the industry as wedding photographers we have covered engagement photoshoots all over the UK, Europe, and Asia - we would love to take photos of you too.

    Where are we going for your pre wedding shoot?

    If a London engagement photo session isn't your cup of tea the UK offers some of the most beautiful scenery and landmarks, as well as some awesome urban backdrops, which make for incredible engagement photography and pre wedding shoot locations. We really are spoilt for choice when it comes to amazing locations for your photo shoot. From the Neolithic Stonehenge to the towering highlands of Scotland peppered with historical castles and tales of ghostly bays. From the white cliffs of Dover and the Jurassic coast of Dorset to sandy beaches of the Scottish Isles. From the rolling hills of our beautiful countryside to the impressive peaks of The Lake District, Peak District, Yorkshire Dales and Snowdonia, to the historic streets of Edinburgh. All you need to do is choose where you’d like your shoot :-)

    what are you waiting for guys? … Get in touch if you would like a Liam + Bee Engagement shoot or pre wedding shoot in London, the UK, or anywhere else in the world!

    Forest

    ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY AND PRE WEDDING SHOOTS

    We were very lucky to call the beautiful Delamere Forest in Cheshire our home for nearly a decade. We lived in the heart of the forest and know all the trails like the back of our hands. Delamere Forest is a great location for a Forest pre wedding shoot and is perfect for those couples who may feel a bit intimidated by the bright lights of the big city. If you crave to feel the fresh air in your lungs and the wind in your hair, a forest engagement photography session is for you!

    Beach

    ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY AND PRE WEDDING SHOOTS

    03

    There is something so special about the British coast and in particular our beautiful sandy beaches. The open space. The sea air. The feeling of isolation and the sound of the waves. We have covered heaps of beach engagement shoots all over the UK and are very lucky to be only a short distance from some awesome beach pre wedding shoot locations such as New Brighton, West Kirby, Formby, Southport, Blackpool and the sightly further afield Newborough Warren. A total dream location for us to photograph would be Scotland's Camusdarach Beach or Scarista Beach on Lewis & Harris. Beautiful. If a beach engagement photography session or pre wedding shoot is your thing then give us a call or ping us an email.
