Alice & Tom’s Sunflower Engagement Shoot at Barlow Sunflowers

Picture this: the sun lazily dipping below the Derbyshire horizon, casting a warm golden glow over the sunflower fields. It was Alice and Tom’s turn to dance in the warm embrace of a summer evening for their Sunflower Engagement Shoot.

Chasing Sunsets: The Last Hurrah in the Sunflower Fields

The sunflower field was about to bid adieu for the summer, but I met with Alice and Tom for their pre-wedding session to revel in the beauty at Barlow Sunflowers, Derbyshire. We frolicked and took a wander through the breathtaking yellow fields. Alice and Tom, like many other couples I’ve worked with, were a little nervous since it was their first time in front of the camera. But as we strolled through the fields bathed in golden sunlight, they quickly warmed up and had an absolute blast.

Golden Hour Sunflower Engagement Shoot

As a photographer, golden hour is an absolute game-changer! Just imagine, the sun casting a warm, buttery glow over everything it touches. It’s like nature’s own Instagram filter, turning ordinary scenes into pure magic. The vibe is laid-back, the light is soft, and everyone looks like they just walked out of a feel-good movie. Golden hour isn’t just a time of day; it’s a mood. People loosen up, laughter comes easy, and the whole atmosphere feels like one big, happy party. It’s not just about capturing moments; it’s about creating memories wrapped in a golden-hued, relaxed charm. For me, as a photographer, golden hour is where the real magic happens – a time when every click feels like capturing a piece of pure, unfiltered joy.

I can’t wait for their wedding in the spring at The Hidden Hive. I just know it’s going to be wonderful. The Peak District truly is a stunning location for any kind of photo session, and I feel so lucky to be able to capture these special moments for my clients.
