Welcome to the Couple Photography page ! I have been lucky enough to photograph some amazing couples so I hope you enjoy looking through these photos and that they inspire you to go ahead and book a couple or engagement photography session with me.
We all know memories are very, very precious. You don’t need an excuse to have photos of the two of you together having fun, it doesn’t have to be for an anniversary or a wedding or another fancy occasion. Just go for it, let’s set up a photo shoot and remember this happy time in your life for forever.
What sort of photo shoot do you have in mind and where? As you’ll see most of these photos have been taken on location – one which is special and meaningful to that particular couple. So tell me where is a special place for you both ? The place you met, your favourite park near home, up in the mountains with fabulous views, down by the lakeside. Or how about a car breakers yard? (I’m serious, it was a really brilliant session) or a museum? a boat trip on the lake? All of those are possible we just need to plan and get permission. Where will you choose?
Just below the portfolio you can find out all about how a couple shoot works and what stylish products are on offer.
C’est magnifique tu nous a trop gâté … tu peux pas savoir comme ça nous touche … les photos de notre petite famille sont tellement magnifiques… nous sommes très émus. Un immense merci. S&V
The following portfolio will show you examples of real engagement shoots or couple sessions. There are no set up photos with a team behind the scenes carefully curating everything down to the nearest millimetre – these are photos of couples being happy, being them. You might be thinking that you aren’t that comfortable in front of the camera, well believe it or not nearly all of these couples started the shoot a little wary of the camera but they soon relaxed and enjoyed their time in the spotlight. Aren’t they gorgeous and glamorous ?
You can make your Couple shoot as formal or informal as you want to – you can turn up in jeans and favourite t-shirts or ballgowns and tuxedoss if you want – your smiles will be just as gorgeous. In fact here’s an idea, why not bring a long a change of clothes and get two looks from the same session ? Shoots are always fun and I promise I will help you forget the camera and relax.
To keep things really simple and straightforward the price for a Couple Photography Session is broken down into two parts.
Part One is the session fee, which covers the shoot itself. Then Part Two covers the different products available to present your beautiful memories – albums, frames, portfolio box. That way you are free to buy what you love. Simple.
Contact me and together we will work to plan your dream lifestyle session. I’ll send you information and send you a beautiful PDF with advice about what to wear, what times work best light wise, etc. There will also be info about what happens before, during and after the shoot. Then we’ll set up a skype meeting so you can tell me what you have planned and see what we can make happen. You can “meet” me to see if we ‘fit’ and you’d like me to photograph the two of you, and of course go through any questions you may have.
Oh la la quelle surprise, que du bonheur ! c’est magnifique ce que tu nous as fait – on est plus que content du résultat !!!! Les photos sont magnifiques comme toujours et tu as l’oeil pour nous prendre au bon moment ! Merci de tout coeur . C&Y
This fee covers :
Note : Digital Images and final products are NOT included in the session fee and need to be purchased separately.
The second part is entirely up to you because you only buy what you love, simple as that.
After the photoshoot you will have access to a beautiful online gallery so you can make your choices. It is my job is to supply you with a gorgeous selection of images, BUT remember there is no pressure from me because you aren’t contracted into buying an album, or a frame or anything at all. You could choose to have a single large framed image, or maybe a portfolio box of ten gorgeous mounted photos, or why not a stunning album of 60 images to treasure forever …. or if you don’t like any of the final photos (I really hope that isn’t the case) you can just walk away.
There are lots of different ways to present your favourite images from your lifestyle session shoot. The most popular product is a stunning album printed on layflat photographic paper. But perhaps you would prefer framed images or a image folio box with 10 mounted photos to display around your home. Most of my clients allow for between 900-2500€ for a collection of their favourite images to treasure and display.
Remember you buy what you love and there is no minimum spend or package – it’s simple you choose the images you like and the format you would like them in from the wide range of products available.
Along with the printed product you will receive the high resolution digital (jpeg) version of every image ordered.
I work with fabulous suppliers, all of them specialists in their fields. This means that your photographs are shown off to their very best whether it be in a gorgeous portrait album, a stylish portfolio box or contemporary frames. Have a look at the photos below to see each style of product in detail. I’m sure you will love them.
These beautiful lay flat albums are perhaps THE perfect way to keep your precious memories of a wonderful moment with your family. Printed by professionals and hand bound by skilled bookmakers these albums provide a fabulous finished product that you will treasure for years to come.
Finished off with a matt cover featuring your favourite photo from the session the albums are A4 format (approx 30x21cm). They are printed on satin finish photographic paper which has a cardboard base to make the pages thick and resistant. If you are looking for a present idea smaller versions which are perfect as a gift for grandparents, are available as an extra with a main album.
Remember that every image in the album is also supplied as a high resolution digital file for you to keep.
There are a huge range of frames available for your walls – different styles, colours and sizes so whether your home is a sleek modern loft or a cosy little country cottage there will be something to suit you.
All the frames are made from premium quality sustainable timber and the mounts are precision cut. The prints are supplied on photographic lustre finish paper that has a slightly stippled surface to give it texture. Protected behind ultra-clear anti-reflective acrylic the frames are both lighter and safer than more traditional fragile glass options.
Remember that every image in a frame is also supplied as a high resolution digital file for you to keep.
Not quite sure if you want a beautiful album or stylish wall art ? Here is a gorgeous solution for you – The Image Portfolio Box. It allows you to keep the prints together in one place or display them individually around your home, changing your display as the mood takes you. This simply beautiful image portfolio box contains 10 of your favourite photos printed on lustre paper. The 10”x8” prints are presented in classic white or black bevel cut mounts. Additional mounts are available.
Remember that every image in the portfolio box is also supplied as a high resolution digital file for you to keep.
Fantastic news, I look forward to hearing from you. Email me and we can arrange a meeting soon, either face to face or via Facetime or Skype whatever suits you best. We can go through any questions you may have, I’m sure you have loads.
We’ll work together over the weeks leading up to your couple session and I’ll send a PDF full of information about all sorts of things that will help the photography side things – clothes to wear, haircuts, times, and even whether or not to bring a pet along. It’ll be fun.
Contact me here, ask me whatever you want and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. I’ll also send you the Family Lifestyle PDF absolutely full of information and ideas. If you are still curious use the links below to go to family posts from the blog.
