The per­fect winter’s day for Lee and Sally

This engage­ment photo ses­sion from ARJ Pho­tog­ra­phy inspired the entire con­cept of e-shoot week on the Eng­lish Wed­ding blog.

Adam from ARJ Pho­tog­ra­phy sub­mit­ted his images of Sally and Lee at Tren­tham Gar­dens near Stoke before Christ­mas and I fell in love with the sparkly snow, bright sun­light and beau­ti­ful loca­tion — with Lee and Sally being such a fan­tas­tic cou­ple and Adam’s enthu­si­asm for the shoot, this couldn’t be more perfect.

Sally is com­pletely at ease with the cam­era — and looks amaz­ing for it. I love her look: the hat is fab and I want that coat!

Love is in the air! … and beau­ti­fully cap­tured in this shot

Engagement photography in the countryside

This is one of my favourite images — so roman­tic! (There are many more I love in this shoot too…) The look in Sally and Lee’s eyes says it all.

Ice and fountains and sunshine - so beautiful

More intimate moments on the engagement shoot

For a moment it could almost be sum­mer… the sun­light through the trees cre­ates a lovely warm feel­ing in this shot

This timeless image is another of my favourites

This time­less image is another of my favourites. On a coun­try­side shoot like this one, you could be any­where, any­time — it’s just all about you.

Trentham Gardens has so many photo opportunities - this is gorgeous!

Could this be any better?!

Sav­ing the very best for last… Could this be any bet­ter?! Adam was set­ting up this beau­ti­ful image with the sun behind Sally and Lee when a hot air bal­loon just drifted into the shot!

This has been an incred­i­ble engage­ment shoot by ARJ Pho­tog­ra­phy. The loca­tion really sets the style for your pre-wedding pho­tog­ra­phy so choose some­where you love, some­where that inspires you or some­where you feel at home for your engage­ment shoot.

I love Adam’s pho­tog­ra­phy style and I think it shines through from these images that he can really get the very best from peo­ple — Sally and Lee clearly loved the photo ses­sion and I can’t wait to see their wed­ding pho­tos… they were mar­ried in Decem­ber and there’s one gor­geous wed­ding pic on the ARJ Pho­tog­ra­phy face­book page — more soon I hope, Adam! (hint!)

If you’re won­der­ing about book­ing your own pre-wedding or engage­ment shoot, read Adam’s guest blog post first. He shares some great advice: why it’s impor­tant, what to expect and what you’ll get out of your engage­ment photography.

ARJ Pho­tog­ra­phy is based in Man­ches­ter and Cheshire, but Adam will travel fur­ther if you’ve fallen in love with these shots as I have! Visit www.arj-photo.co.uk for more information.

    Fan­tas­tic images, not that I would expect any­thing less from Adam! I love the shots of Sally & Lee stood behind the long grass, the light is beau­ti­ful :)

    Stun­ning pho­tos!
    I agree that the Ice, foun­tains and sun­shine photo is gor­geous, the sparkly effects of the sun is so pretty. What a roman­tic shoot.
    Lee and Sally must have felt so at ease to have such beau­ti­ful, relaxed pho­tos taken. There love for each other shines out.
    (Love Sally’s hat too!)

    Beau­ti­ful shots and a gor­geous cou­ple, like Claire I think the last shot with the hot air bal­loon is my favourite but so hard to choose! Good work Adam!
