An industrial engagement shoot in Leeds City Centre

What better way to explore a city than with an engagement shoot. Shanna and Dominic decided to make Leeds the backdrop of their engagement shoot, as they loved the industrial surroundings. It’s Stories Of I Do’s local area, so we are super biased!

Candid Engagement Photography

We put these two through a practice portrait shoot; it is so vital for our couples to get comfortable and used to how it feels to be photographed! Engagement shoots can feel like quite a strange experience, but it helps so much on your big day, and you get some beautiful, dramatic photographs together. Stories Of I Do like to show our couples that it’s all about relaxing together and having a bit of fun. We don’t like majorly staged, posed shots – natural moments are the best.

Creative Engagement Shoot

Last week we joined Shanna and Dominic on a windy and rainy March afternoon for their pre-wedding practice shoot around Leeds. Shanna and Dominic happen to be some of our best friends and were an absolute dream to shoot. Once they had warmed up to the cameras, they were so relaxed. Our time photographing with them was full of laughter and romantic embraces – resulting in some beautiful couples portraits! We started under the railway arches before taking a leisurely stroll through the town and exploring the Leeds library. After a chilly amble around the grand old parts of the city and the Leeds Art Gallery, we eventually ended up finishing up in the Town Hall Tavern for a pint. There is nothing better to do on a cold day than get cosy and warm up with a cheeky beer!

We hope it was a useful experience for these guys! It was charming to photograph them both and spend a bit of time hanging out together. If their engagement shoot is anything to go by then, their wedding is going to be a whole lot of fun! Stories Of I Do are looking forward to photographing their wedding at East Keswick Village Hall in June. Stay tuned on the blog for their wedding highlights post later this year!
