Dan and Rachel's surprise engagement shoot at Bamburgh Beach
A few weeks before this shoot, Dan contacted me to photograph his surprise picnic engagement to Rachel on Bamburgh beach. It was a wonderful moment they will both look back on in the future.
The candles in jars, the picnic basket, and the simple blanket all added to the atmosphere and with Bamburgh Castle in the background, it was just the perfect place for such a special moment.
Dan and Rachel are both teachers from Yorkshire but love visiting Northumberland and have stayed in Bamburgh before, making this location even more important to them both.
On this visit they actually stayed at a beautiful accommodation, The Walls B&B in Berwick, a short drive away from Bamburgh.
Once he had proposed and she said yes (phew haha) we did some portrait shots to mark the occasion (and to send to grandma)!
I had to work fairly quickly as dusk was approaching and I didn’t want to loose too much light.
If you scroll down you can see the light changing from day to night in the photos.
