STEPPING AWAY TO CONNECT: THE IMPORTANCE OF YOUR PORTRAITS
Couples portraits are more than posed photographs — they’re a chance to pause, breathe, and share a quiet moment together on your wedding day. In the heart of Leicestershire and across the East Midlands, these portraits capture not just how your day looked, but how it truly felt.
As the day rushes by, your couples portraits become an anchor — a reminder of the love at the centre of it all. Taking this time isn’t just about beautiful photographs; it’s about creating space to slow down, connect, and savour the moment.
When you look back, these images will hold not only how you looked, but the genuine emotions you felt — timeless memories from your wedding in Leicestershire, the East Midlands, or wherever your story unfolds.
WEAVING YOUR PORTRAITS INTO THE WEDDING DAY TIMELINE
Wedding days move quickly, and it’s easy to find yourselves swept from one moment to the next — greeting guests, keeping to the timeline, and soaking in all the excitement. That’s why setting aside time just for the two of you is so valuable. Couples portraits give you the chance to pause, breathe, and enjoy a quiet moment together.
A few perfect times to fit portraits into your day:
After your First Look: If you’re planning one, this is an ideal moment for intimate portraits while the anticipation is fresh and emotions are high.
After the Ceremony: Take 15–20 minutes while guests mingle during the drinks reception. These are often your very first portraits as newlyweds, with beautiful natural light to capture them.
Golden Hour: Just before sunset, the light turns soft and romantic — the perfect setting for timeless portraits. Stepping away for even 10 minutes creates unforgettable images.
Whether you’re celebrating at a countryside estate in Leicestershire, a historic venue in Nottingham, or a rustic barn in Derbyshire, setting aside 30–45 minutes for portraits ensures you’ll have space to connect — and photographs that truly reflect your love.
CHOOSING THE BEST TIME OF THE DAY FOR COUPLES PORTRAITS
Plan around 1 hour for your couples portraits, ideally 30–45 minutes before sunset for the most flattering golden light. This timing is especially important if your venue was chosen for its stunning views or scenic setting.
The most beautiful portraits happen when you’re relaxed and simply enjoying the moment. Surrounded by the charm of the Leicestershire countryside or the character of a historic East Midlands venue, it’s easy to create images that feel natural and authentic.
