Liverpool
Natural, unposed couples portraits in Liverpool — Sefton Park, the Albert Dock waterfront, Calderstones Park, Port Sunlight, and Crosby Beach.
Engagement sessions
Celebrate your engagement with a relaxed session — Sefton Park's Palm House, the Albert Dock at golden hour, or the extraordinary iron figures of Crosby Beach all make unforgettable backdrops.
Anniversary portraits
Choose a location that means something to you — the park where you first walked together, the waterfront where you got engaged — and revisit it with a photographer who will do it justice.
Just because
No occasion required. Most couples have very few photographs of themselves together that they actually want to look at. A session like this changes that.
Valentine's Day gift
A couples session makes an extraordinary Valentine's gift — something personal, lasting, and genuinely surprising. Gift vouchers available on request.
One fee covers the session, all editing, and your full image gallery — no hidden extras. A travel supplement of £80 applies for Liverpool.

Sefton Park
Liverpool's finest Victorian park — 235 acres with the ornate cast-iron Palm House, Eros fountain, boating lake, ancient plane trees, and a bandstand at its heart. Stunning in every season.
Albert Dock & Pier Head
The Three Graces of Liverpool's waterfront — the Cunard, Royal Liver, and Dock Company buildings — with the Mersey and the Wirral behind. Blue hour on the dock is particularly beautiful.
Calderstones Park
The ancient walled gardens, rose garden, glacial boulder inscribed with Neolithic carvings, and mature parkland of Calderstones — quietly beautiful and underused as a location.
Port Sunlight Village
William Lever's model village on the Wirral — wide tree-lined boulevards, extraordinary Edwardian cottage architecture, and the Lady Lever Art Gallery. A uniquely beautiful and slightly other-worldly location.
Crosby Beach (Another Place)
Antony Gormley's 100 iron figures stand in the sand and surf across 3km of beach — a conceptually rich and visually extraordinary backdrop for portraits that want to say something beyond the conventional.
Georgian Quarter & Lark Lane
The city's elegant Georgian grid and the leafy bohemian streets around Lark Lane — terracotta terraces, independent cafés, and Edwardian street furniture — for a more urban feel.
Do you travel to Liverpool for couples sessions?
Yes — Liverpool is a regular destination. A travel supplement of £80 applies. Sessions should be booked 2–3 weeks in advance to allow for weather-watching and location planning, especially for Crosby Beach which is best at specific tidal and light conditions.
We're not comfortable being photographed — will it be awkward?
Almost every couple feels this way beforehand and almost none feel it after the first ten minutes. I use movement-based prompts rather than posed directions — the images end up looking natural and genuinely you.
What's the best time of year in Liverpool?
Sefton Park's magnolias and cherry blossoms peak in April. Summer evenings on the Albert Dock have extraordinary warmth and golden-hour light. Autumn brings Calderstones into rich colour. Crosby Beach works in any season — the moody winter light there can be particularly powerful.
How do we get to Port Sunlight from Liverpool?
Port Sunlight is on the Wirral, about 20 minutes by Merseyrail from Liverpool Central — or a short drive through the Mersey Tunnel. It's one of my top recommendations for couples who want a setting genuinely unlike anywhere else in England.
When will we receive the photos?
Edited galleries are delivered within 7–10 days via a private online gallery with full download access and print release included.
Tell me your preferred date and which location appeals — I'll confirm availability and advise on the best timing for the season and light conditions.
