Karen & Naill’s Fabulous Richmond Park Engagement Shoot with Milo, the delightful fur baby
There’s something incredibly special about springtime in Richmond Park — the colours are brighter, the air feels lighter, and love is most definitely in bloom. So when Karen and Naill arrived with their adorable dog Milo, for their pre-wedding session, I just knew we were in for something magical!
Karen and Naill are the kind of couple who simply light up in each other’s presence. From the moment we started, there were laughs, stolen glances, and the kind of connection that makes photographing love feel effortless. Milo, their energetic and ever-curious cocker spaniel, was the cherry on top – bounding along, occasionally stealing the spotlight, and bringing pure joy to every frame. He settled down once he was given his ball to play with, he is gorgeous and means a great deal to Karin and Naill.
We wandered through the park’s winding trails, stopping to soak up the riot of colour from the blooming azaleas and rhododendrons. The chemistry between these two was undeniable – relaxed, happy, and so clearly in love. Whether they were cuddled up on a bench or sharing a quiet moment beneath the trees, Karen and Naill’s warmth just radiated.
This session was the perfect reminder of why I adore Surrey engagement photography. It’s not just about snapping a few portraits – it’s about capturing genuine moments, the in-between laughter, and the way two people simply fit. Throw a waggy-tailed dog like Milo into the mix, and it becomes a celebration of love, adventure, and everything that’s to come.
I can’t wait to capture Karen and Naill’s big day at Latimer Estate – if it’s anything like this fun day, it’s going to be an absolute dream. Here’s their love story in their words:
