Bournemouth Engagement Session | Victoria and James | Dorset Engagement Photography by gavin conlan photography Ltd

Back in April I met with Victoria and James in Bournemouth for their engagement session, we were blessed with blue skies and warm temperatures and what felt like gale force winds at Old Harry Rocks.

During their engagement session we visited the following amazing locations;

The Old Harry Rocks are three chalk formations, including a stack and a stump, located at Handfast Point, on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, southern England. They mark the most easterly point of the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Boscombe Pier has recently undergone a £2.4 million restoration to make the structure safe and accessible to the public, securing its future for another generation at a time when many of the UK's remaining seaside piers are being left to crumble into the sea.  As you wander along Boscombe Pier, you will discover several beautiful musical instruments lining the route. and surprise yourselves with what fun this really is for adults and children alike. These instruments are hand crafted and made especially for the pier.

Hengistbury Head is a promontory forming the south side of the estuary of the rivers Avon and Stour known as Christchurch Harbour. It is the largest undeveloped area in Bournemouth. From the top of Warren Hill are unsurpassed views of the Isle of Wight, Purbeck, Cranborne Chase and the New Forest.

If you've never visited this part of the world before then you must it's not referred to as the English Riviera for nothing - it's simply stunning!!

Their wedding day at Parklands, Quendon Hall was gorgeous and it was amazing for me personally to see them debut their engagement photographs to their family and friends before they sat down for their wedding breakfast.  

But for now sit down, get comfortable and enjoy this selection of photographs from their e:session! 

All the best,

Gavin
