Engagement Shoot at Nottingham’s Newstead Abbey | Bethany & James

✨ Bethany & James ✨

Two love birds, completely smitten with each other 💛 From the moment they arrived at Newstead Abbey in Nottingham, it was clear how strong their connection is. The way they looked at each other, the gentle attentiveness, and the comfort of simply being together. As a photographer, it’s moments like these that are so sweet to witness and capture.

Their Story 💍

Not long ago, Bethany & James escaped on a beach holiday together. It was during this trip that they realised they didn’t have many photographs of themselves as a couple — aside from a few selfies. That’s what made this session extra special: a chance to capture their love, just as it is, in a timeless and natural way.

James had been carrying the ring in his pocket the whole holiday (without a box 😱). Nervous and full of excitement, he popped the question on the second day of the trip. Of course, Bethany said yes! Talk about a proposal story they’ll never forget.
