Couples come to me for photos together for an anniversary, before their wedding or for no reason at all. You may have been together for a few months or many years – what matters is what's between you.

An engagement session is also a good way to get comfortable with the camera before the wedding. If you have a dog, bring it along: it's part of your family too.

For couples I recommend the studio: it's easy to work with light, change the backdrop and try different poses there, and the weather can't spoil anything.

We can also shoot in the city, on the streets of the old town. If there's a place that means a lot to you, we can shoot there too, even if it's an unusual one.

Many couples worry they'll feel stiff in front of the camera. That's why throughout the session I keep telling you how to stand and what to do, so you can focus on each other. The best shots happen in motion: walking together, dancing or simply hugging.

Before the session I help you choose the location and coordinate your outfits so you look good together in the frame. I also prepare a moodboard – a collage with examples of mood, poses and outfits, so you know what the photos will look like before the session.

Every photo gets my own colour grading, and I also retouch selected shots. The retouching is natural: I remove small imperfections but don't change how you look.

We agree on the details of a couple session individually – write to me and we'll find the right format for your idea.
