On the 7th July, I met up with Bethan & Tom who had arranged an Engagement Photography session close to their family home on the Mendips, Somerset. I had met the couple at a recent wedding fair and they’d chosen to do an engagement photoshoot after we talked about how they don’t often get photos together. However, they wanted to practise before their wedding day and get any nerves of being in front of camera out of the way.

These elements set the stage for your special day and capture cherished memories. In this guide, I’ll explore where to start when booking the perfect venue and wedding photographer for your dream wedding.
