To celebrate their engagement Ronald and Melissa met me at Helen's Bay for a beautiful and romantic engagement shoot to mark  the occasion.

This is one of my favourite little scenic spots outside Belfast City, just a few short miles and you are totally at one with nature!

An engagement shoot is great practice for wedding day photos and always hooks my couples to feel a lot more relaxed about getting their photos taken. I work in a very natural way and I like to capture people just as they are ,and this helps by simply taking a stroll as I shoot.

The couple were blessed this evening with a really glorious sunset, as we watched the ships coming in and out of Belfast Lough.
