Ah, Cannock Chase. A place that never disappoints, especially when you’re blessed with glorious weather. It’s one of those spots that just makes you want to grab your camera, a comfy pair of shoes, and head out for a day of capturing magic. And that’s exactly what I did for Paige and Dave’s engagement session – a lovely couple with an equally lovely little family. The weather was on our side, the sun was doing its thing, and the day was shaping up to be pretty much perfect.


Getting to Know Paige and Dave

Now, let me tell you, Paige and Dave are one of those couples who just get it. You know the type – relaxed, genuine, and just happy to be in the moment. They brought along their little one, which only added to the joy of the day. Kids have this brilliant way of bringing out the best in everyone, and their little one was no exception. The whole session was filled with laughter, some serious cuteness overload, and a whole lot of love.


The Cannock Chase Magic

There’s something special about Cannock Chase woods – the way the light filters through the trees, the sound of the leaves crunching underfoot, and that unmistakable scent of nature that just makes you feel alive. It’s the perfect backdrop for a natural, unposed engagement session. No stiff posing, no forced smiles – just pure, candid moments. And let me tell you, Paige and Dave nailed it.


They were a bit nervous at first (who wouldn’t be?), but once we got going, those nerves melted away. They quickly got into the flow, and it wasn’t long before they were laughing, joking, and just being themselves. That’s the beauty of natural wedding photography – it’s all about capturing those real, raw moments that tell the true story of who you are as a couple.


The Power of a Pre-Wedding Shoot

After the session, Paige and Dave mentioned how much more at ease they felt now that they’ve met me and understand how I work. This, my friends, is the whole point of an engagement session. It’s not just about getting some beautiful photos (although that’s a nice bonus, of course!). It’s about building that connection, so when the big day comes around, you feel relaxed, comfortable, and ready to just enjoy every moment.


Engagement photo sessions are like a little rehearsal before the main event. You get to see how I work, I get to see how you interact with each other, and we all get to have a bit of fun in the process. It’s a win-win, really.


Looking Ahead to the Big Day

So, what’s next for Paige and Dave? Well, after such a fantastic engagement session, I’m even more excited for their wedding day. They’ve already got that natural, relaxed vibe going, and I know their wedding photos are going to be something special. Full-day wedding coverage means I’ll be there to capture everything – from the getting-ready photos to the ceremony, the reception, and all the candid moments in between.


Whether you’re planning your wedding in Birmingham, Wolverhampton, or right here in Staffordshire, an engagement session is the perfect way to start your journey. It’s all about keeping things relaxed, unposed, and most importantly, fun. And if Cannock Chase is your chosen spot, well, you’re in for a treat.


Until then, I’ll leave you with this – if you’re after a wedding photographer who’s all about capturing those real, natural moments without the awkward posing, I’m your guy. Get in touch, and let’s make some magic happen!
