I love getting the chance to travel up to North Devon for engagement shoots or any other shoots for that matter, so as soon as Ross contacted me about this little secret of his to propose to his girlfriend at Saunton Sands, I couldn’t resist the journey to capture my first proposal. I met up with Ross and Deanna at the entrance to the beach with their little girl for a family shoot, although thats what it was disguised as, and the rest of the evening went swimmingly with picture perfect surroundings and weather.


Between Ross and myself we planned the moment perfectly by text a few days before, waiting for the right frame with the sea behind them, the sun setting and then a little nod from myself to say this was the perfect moment and the rest is, well, history captured in photographs below.


“You have honestly smashed that out of the park mate! Thankyou so much, you’ve captured everything we wanted and its really special for us! 100% you will be here for our wedding. Honestly can’t thank you enough!”


If you’re interested in engagement shoots or your planning to propose and want to capture that moment, or you want to find out more drop me a message here and we can plan in a time to chat about why they are worth every penny and how much fun they are.
