The Couple
Sarah and Andrew were a joy to work with. Their love for each other was evident in every glance and smile. They arrived at Groby Pool with a mix of excitement and a touch of nervousness, typical for couples who are not used to being in front of the camera. However, their genuine affection quickly shone through, making my job as their photographer an absolute pleasure.
We started the session by the water’s edge, using the pool’s calm surface to reflect their images. Sarah’s flowing dress and Andrew’s casual, yet sharp attire, complemented the natural surroundings beautifully. I encouraged them to simply enjoy the moment, walk hand in hand, and interact naturally. This approach helps capture authentic emotions and candid moments that are more meaningful than posed shots.
As we moved to different spots around Groby Pool, I focused on varying the compositions. We used the rustic charm of the old mill for some classic, timeless shots. The stone walls and wooden beams provided a perfect contrast to the natural greenery. Sarah and Andrew’s playful nature came alive as they explored the trails, laughed together, and even shared a dance under the canopy of trees.

Each image captured the essence of Sarah and Andrew’s relationship, set against the breathtaking backdrop of one of Leicestershire’s most charming locations.
