Engagement Photoshoots

Engagement photoshoots, also known as pre-wedding pictures, are a set of photographs taken between your engagement and wedding day. They can be as formal or as informal as you wish.

There are several benefits to these sessions. It’s a great opportunity to spend time with your chosen photographer before the wedding day, get to know them better and to see them at work. This gives the chance to get used to being together in front of the camera, and serves as a test run for the big day -  an informal dress rehearsal.

There are many uses for the photographs, from save-the-date messages to your social media, or your wedding website if you have one.

Also, an engagement photoshoot celebrates this special time, however long or short, as you look forward to the big day and provides a selection of photographs to keep forever.

 

We offer couples a 90-minute visit with the photographer of their choice at two of our three beautiful locations.

The Walled Garden featuring the apple arches, pond and sundial

Enveloped in historic, listed brick walls and planting, sheltered from the wind, this tranquil and private outdoor haven offers beautiful apple arches, a pond with fountain and a sundial surrounded by a circular evergreen setting.

The Orangery and Orangery Bull Gate Bridge

Recently restored, this elegant and historic Orangery is surrounded by green parkland, offering a blend of grandeur and serenity. The close-by Bull Gate bridge crosses the 18th century ‘haha’ built by Capability Brown.

Inigo Bridge, the riverbank and the Rose Bridge

For those who relish nature's charm, capture your engagement over the gin-clear, gentle waters of the famous River Test, as the wildlife swims and flys by. Or, sit on the Georgian Rose Bridge in the Pleasure Grounds amongst the trees and listen to the stream pass beneath you.

The costs are £445 plus vat for a weekday and £545 plus vat for a weekend day.

 

Availability is year-round.

 

  • Please note that all locations will look different depending on the season and the weather.
  • Couples will be supervised by a Broadlands member of staff for the duration of the photoshoot.
  • We ask that couples agree to Broadlands using a selection of their photographs for marketing purposes.
