Peak District Engagement Session | UK Weddings and Elopements

by Joe Hall | Baslow Edge, Peak District National Park | UK Wedding Photographer

I recently had the pleasure of getting out to one of my favourite local spots with Amy & Will for their engagement session. As their wedding is only a couple of months away now, it was the perfect time for us to meet in person and help them get used to being in front of the camera. I often find that couples struggle to get used to being the centre of attention on their wedding day - which I must add is completely understandable - I would definitely struggle with this haha! However, having a little meet up before hand, and doing something like an engagement session, can definitely help you begin to feel more relaxed in front of the camera, and make you feel less awkward come your wedding day. Amy & Will were absolutely superb, and I am very much looking forward to photographing their wedding this year!

I have also decided to try and incorporate something new into my workflow this year, using my Fujifilm x100v and some film simulations to create a small selection of different images. The shots below were taken with the Ilford HP5 Reciepe.
