Pre-Wedding & Engagement Shoots | Charlie Bluck Photography
Relaxed, Natural, and Full of Genuine Moments.
Why Book a Pre-Wedding Shoot?
Your engagement is the start of your biggest adventure together — and what better way to celebrate than with a set of beautiful, relaxed images of just the two of you?
A pre-wedding shoot isn’t just about getting great photos (though you definitely will!).
It’s a chance to:
✅ Get comfortable in front of the camera
✅ Build a connection with your photographer (me!)
✅ Capture a special time in your life
✅ Create gorgeous images for your wedding website, save-the-dates, or guestbook
Most couples tell me after their engagement session that they feel so much more relaxed about their wedding photos — because they’ve already had the experience of being photographed in a natural, easy way.
What to Expect
Your pre-wedding shoot will be completely relaxed — no stiff poses, no awkward moments.
We’ll pick a location that feels like you — whether that's a favourite woodland walk, a quiet countryside spot, or the place you got engaged.
Expect lots of natural laughter, a few gentle prompts to keep you moving, and beautiful, honest photos that tell your story.
Shoots usually last around 60–90 minutes, and you’ll receive a full gallery of professionally edited images to keep.
When and Where
Pre-wedding shoots can happen anytime between booking and your wedding day, but most couples opt for 3–6 months before the big day.
We can stay local to Surrey/Hampshire, or adventure a little further afield if there’s a special spot in mind. Please be aware that travel is chargeable for over 1-hour drive from GU12.

FAQ
Q: We're a bit camera-shy. Is a pre-wedding shoot still for us?
A: Absolutely — it’s especially for you. We'll keep it relaxed, with no pressure or cheesy posing.
Q: What should we wear?
A: Wear something you feel comfortable and confident in — and bring a coat if it's chilly! Maybe leave the heels at home if you’re thinking woodland.
Q: Can we bring our dog?
A: Yes, please! I love when couples bring pets — it makes the shoot even more personal.
