Engagement Photography in London
A relaxed, natural way to celebrate your story before the wedding day.
An engagement session is a calm, unhurried way to capture the connection between you before the wedding. My approach is documentary‑led and gentle, focused on real moments, soft movement, and the quiet details that make your relationship yours.
Whether we wander through your favourite part of London, explore a quiet park at golden hour, or visit a place that means something to you both, the aim is simple: photographs that feel honest, warm, and unmistakably you.
Why Engagement Sessions Matter
An engagement session is more than a photoshoot, it’s a chance to:
​
-
Get comfortable in front of the camera
-
Build a natural rhythm before your wedding day
-
Capture this chapter of your story
-
Create images for save‑the‑dates or your wedding website
-
Enjoy a moment of calm during planning
​
My style is relaxed and intuitive. I’ll guide you gently when needed, but mostly I’ll let you be yourselves.

Choosing the Perfect London Location
London is full of beautiful pockets for engagement photography, from the canals of Islington to Hackney’s quiet streets, your favourite local park, or even the neighbourhood you call home. Whether it’s a place you walk together often or somewhere that simply feels like “you”, these familiar spaces make for relaxed, meaningful photographs.
If you’re unsure where to go, I’m always happy to suggest locations that suit your style and the season.
A Calm, Natural Experience
My background in documentary and editorial photography shapes the way I work. I’m drawn to real emotion, soft movement, and the small gestures that say everything. Engagement sessions are a lovely way to capture those moments without the pace of a wedding day.
"We couldn’t be happier with our experience! From the moment we met Polly, she made us feel completely comfortable and at ease. Her friendly energy, clear direction, and eye for detail made the entire shoot feel natural and fun. The final photos are absolutely stunning and perfectly captured both the candid, joy-filled moments and the more romantic, intimate ones too. The turnaround was super quick too, and the edits were flawless. Polly was also incredibly professional and communicative throughout, which made the whole experience feel smooth and natural. If you’re looking for someone to capture genuine connection and emotion, this is the photographer you want. We’ll cherish these photos forever!" - Lulu & Billy
