Engagement shoot, E-shoot, whatever the name for this, is an understatement for what can happen when I meet couples for a test hug and a kiss in front of the camera. I offer a complimentary shoot with every couple before the big day, it's a marvellous way to get couples to get used to being photographed. They all soon come to appreciate, it's brilliant fun!

Say hello to Zara and James, a fun loving couple who have a magical bond you cannot put your finger on. It's magic to be in their company, so in love.

So here we are, a little walk through Formby squirrel reserve, a great big bunch of helium filled balloons and the obligatory pet dog, who wasn't interested in photography, just very big sticks!

A little taster of our meeting.....

Zara and James: can't wait for your wedding!
