I often suggest Belgravia in central London when it comes to engagement sessions. It’s one of my favorite locations because it’s filled with beautiful spots and is close to my favourite local cafes and independent boutiques. And the best part is, it’s also very easy to find. Take a quick cab ride from anywhere in Central London and you’re there in no time. Or do you fancy getting on the tube like a proper London local? Then head to any of the surrounding stations – Knightsbridge, Sloan Square, or Victoria.
This romantic engagement photo shoot started in the quiet streets surrounding Eccleston Square Park and ended at Peggy Porschen on Elizabeth Street. Prepare to marvel at the details and fall in love with every image. A stunning Marchesa evening dress, sustainably grown British flowers, and impeccably chosen designer accessories. But let’s not forget the stars of the show. A beautiful interracial couple enjoying the streets of Belgravia while surrounded by the iconic neoclassical central London townhouses.
top tips for your engagement session
Keen to have your own engagement session in Belgravia or Central London? Here are my top three tips:
- Avoid the popular spots. The popular spots are usually crowded and your photos will have everyone else’s background. Belgravia is full of beautiful quiet corners and charming alleys. You just have to know where they are.
- While Central London is full of public places to enjoy, most of Belgravia is privately owned. Keep your voice to a minimum when walking around the residential areas. Remain respectful and please don’t enter private properties.
- No time to look for good locations? Find a local photographer. You’ll have photos that give you the same iconic London feel without being touristy. Get in touch if you’d like to have an engagement session. I know the best spots and some of the most stunning hidden London gems.
