Cotswolds Proposal Photography


Creating engagement photo sessions that reflect your personalities and the romance you share.


Your engagement or proposal is one of the most meaningful moments of your life, and it deserves to be captured in a way that feels natural and timeless.


Whether you’re planning a surprise proposal in the Cotswolds, a romantic getaway, or a relaxed engagement photoshoot, I’ll document all of it! As a Cotswolds engagement photographer, my goal is to create images that feel like memories rather than posed photographs. These aren’t just photos... they’re memories you’ll treasure forever, the ones that tell your story before the big day even begins. Let’s make your engagement or proposal feel effortless, fun, and totally unforgettable.

Planning your engagement photoshoot in the Cotswolds


A session with me is relaxed from start to finish. No awkward posing, no forced direction, just guidance when needed so you can stay present with each other.

A photo session is the perfect way to celebrate your story, get comfortable in front of the camera, and create memories you’ll treasure forever. The Cotswolds provides the perfect backdrop for engagement photography, with its rolling countryside, golden light, and quiet hidden locations that feel private and personal.


Your engagement or proposal only happens once. Let’s capture it properly!

Why Choose a Cotswolds Proposal Photographer?


A couple photoshoot in the Cotswolds is your excuse to pause, have fun together, and capture your relationship exactly as it is right now. No pressure, no big event needed. Just you two being you.


You don’t need to be engaged to book a photoshoot in the Cotswolds. Whether you’ve been together six months or sixteen years, your story deserves to be documented. These photos become the ones you look back on and say, “That was us. That was our era.”


Most couples say the same thing before booking: “We’re awkward in photos.” I promise you’re not! My job as an experienced Cotswolds engagement photographer is to keep things relaxed, natural, and fun so you’re laughing, moving, chatting, and forgetting the camera is even there. The best shots happen when you’re just being yourselves.


A couples session is also the perfect way to reconnect. An hour away from phones, work, and wedding planning, just focusing on each other. It’s less about posing and more about capturing your energy, your inside jokes, your quiet moments.


And honestly? One day these photos will mean more than you realise. They’ll remind you how this chapter felt, the way you looked at each other, the way you laughed, the way it all began.

Kind Words

I reached out to Sara after seeing her socials. From the very beginning she was so friendly and listened to everything I wanted and wasn’t afraid to put in her own suggestions which turned out amazing!


We spoke many times about the day, location, type of shots etc, and we both met up at the engagement location before hand so Sara could scope out the best spots, lighting, privacy etc.

The thoroughness and professionalism Sara showed since my first enquiry, until the delivery of the photos (Speedy!) was unmatched!


On the day, she stayed hidden until I got down on one knee, and captured the whole engagement and exceeded my expectations.

A week later she delivered the photos with her amazing eye for detail in the edits, and my word they are beautiful and will be memories I can see on my wall, desk, phone for life!

Sara! Thank you so much for immortalising our engagement🌟


Thank you and if you couldn’t tell….. I 1000% recommend!
