Hertfordshire Engagement & Proposal Photography

Here’s a little peek at some of the sessions I’ve captured across Hertfordshire and beyond — full of love, laughter, and the occasional “OMG are we really doing this?!” moment. These shoots are such a fab way for us to hang out and get comfy with each other before your wedding day, so by the time we’re shooting the big stuff, you’ll feel like total pros in front of the camera (no awkward turtle vibes, promise)

Planning to pop the question? Or do you know a couple who would love a unique experience? I offer gift vouchers that are perfect for surprise moments or just capturing that proposal buzz. Scroll down to see the options, or click the button below to learn more and get in touch!

Why Choose Natalie Chiverton for Your Engagement Shoot?

When it comes to photography, it’s not just about pretty pictures — it’s about capturing you two being unapologetically yourselves. I’m all about creating a relaxed, fun vibe where you can laugh, snuggle, and forget the camera’s even there. Whether we’re strolling through the Hertfordshire countryside or chilling in your favourite spot, I’ll guide you every step of the way (no stiff posing here!). You’ll get gorgeous, natural photos that feel like you — plus, we’ll build that all-important connection before your big day, so your wedding photos feel effortless too.

Occasions such as proposals or pre-weddings are ideal moments to capture this memorable time.

Choose the tone of your session, whether it’s playful and full of laughter, serene with gentle touches and tender looks, or laid-back. Opt for casual attire like jeans, or dress up for a sophisticated evening, whatever matches your style.

I often select The Grove in Hertfordshire to capture engagements and pre-weddings. It has such beautiful gardens and a stunning backdrop for any occasion. If you are planning a proposal, please get in touch so we can plan how to keep this amazing moment under wraps.

If you are looking to book a proposal session, I would love to have a chat beforehand to go over your plan, and then I’ll be there to capture your emotions and reactions after you propose!

Please reach out to arrange your shoot. I look forward to capturing your love story in stunning photographs soon!
