A Sunset Engagement shoot at Delapre Abbey with Ella + Tom
Hello lovely people! If you’re on the hunt for a wedding or engagement photographer in Northampton, you’ve come to the right place. Today, i’m sharing some photos I recently captured for Ella and Tom, a laid-back couple whose engagement shoot took place at the historic Delapré Abbey. After postponing our shoot a few times due to the weather (September 2024 was one of the wettest on record!) we struck gold with the most beautiful autumnal sunset.
Ella and Tom got engaged last year in Oxford, surrounded by the city’s iconic architecture and romantic atmosphere. For their engagement photoshoot, they wanted a location that was a little closer to their hearts - and so Delapré Abbey provided the perfect backdrop as somewhere they visit regularly. This Northampton location is a dream for couples seeking a relaxed but interesting setting for their engagement photos.
Why Delapré Abbey is Perfect for Engagement Photography
Delapré Abbey offers a whole jost of photo opportunities, making it one of my top spots for wedding and engagement photography in Northampton. With its 900 years of history and extensive grounds, we were able to capture a mix of intimate moments and scenic shots, from cozy corners in the abbey’s walled gardens to sweeping views across the parkland at sunset.
Capturing Ella and Tom’s Love Story
Ella and Tom are the kind of couple that I LOVE working with. They were relaxed, fun, and completely themselves throughout the shoot. They laughed and chatted about all the things they were excited about for their wedding day, which allowed me to capture some really authentic moments with them.
We started the session with some casual shots in the walled gardens, where the soft autumn light filtered through the trees and flowers, creating a dreamy, romantic glow.
Choosing the Right Location for Your Engagement Photos
If you’re planning your own engagement photoshoot in Northampton, Delapré Abbey should definitely be on your list. It’s ideal for couples who want their shoot to feel like a relaxed day-date.
I always work closely with couples to choose a location that suits their personalities and love story, and Delapré Abbey offers something for everyone - all year round.
