Engagement Shoot at Newstead Abbey, Nottingham | Rebecca & Jamie

✨ Rebecca & Jamie ✨

Childhood sweethearts turned forever soulmates ❤️ These two first met all the way back in Year 7. For years they were “just friends,” but Rebecca admits she always knew it was him 💫.

Fast forward through teenage years, growing up together, and building a life side by side, now nothing phases them. Not even kiss prompts straight after a cheese and onion sandwich 😂 That’s real love!

A Fun-Filled Engagement Session 🌿

For their engagement shoot, we wandered through the breathtaking grounds of Newstead Abbey in Nottingham. With its historic ruins, romantic gardens, and tranquil lakes, it’s one of the most beautiful engagement photography locations in the East Midlands.

Rebecca & Jamie’s session was exactly what they wanted it to be: fun, lighthearted, and completely true to who they are. From playful pranks to uncontrollable laughter, they brought so much energy and joy. There was no “acting our age” here, just good vibes and staying forever young 💛.

Couples like these are an absolute dream to photograph. When you let go of perfection and simply focus on enjoying the moment, the result is images full of love, authenticity, and personality.
