If you're looking for an unforgettable way to document your love story, there’s no place quite like the fells above Lake Windermere in the Lake District.
Recently, I had the pleasure of working with a wonderful couple who wanted to capture their romantic adventure in this scenic location. Using my local expertise, we embarked on a beautiful walk through the fells, taking spontaneous photos against a range of breathtaking backdrops. They were in the Lake District for a special birthday and wanted to remember the weekend. They consulted with me about locations and outfit choices to suit the landscape here in September and we decided on two outfits for the session.
Here’s a glimpse into our photo session, along with tips for couples looking to make the most of their own photography experience in one of England’s most iconic landscapes.
A Relaxed Walk Through Nature: Capturing Candid Moments
Our session started with a relaxed walk, as we walked along the trails, I focused on capturing candid moments—the couple holding hands, laughing together, and enjoying the adventure. The light was soft and perfect for photos, making every shot feel authentic and spontaneous. We created a natural flow to the session, ensuring that each moment felt genuine and unscripted.
Panoramic Views of Lake Windermere: The Perfect Backdrop
As we climbed higher into the fells, the panoramic views of Lake Windermere became more stunning. This is one of my favorite spots to photograph couples because the sweeping landscape creates a dramatic contrast to the couple’s quiet connection. I love framing couples against the vastness of the lake, making them the focal point while showcasing the beauty of the Lake District.
During the session, we timed our shots to make the most of the morning autumn light, which added a warm, golden hue to the photos. These wide, open views are ideal for Instagram-worthy shots that combine romance with nature.
