Chiswick House and Gardens picnic engagement shoot
This beautifully planned picnic engagement shoot took place at the stunning and picture perfect Chiswick House and Gardens in London. We chose Chiswick House and Gardens because my couple wanted somewhere with beautiful gardens. This place was perfect for their picnic engagement shoot and I am excited to tell a little more about this engagement shoot.
Picnic engagement shoot
This place was so perfect for Chloe & Brian’s picnic engagement shoot that we planned. We were so lucky that the garden was in bloom and with loads of greenery in the background. Beautiful, dreamy colour palette of the summer garden was a joy to photograph.
Essentials for a picnic engagement shoot
A picnic engagement shoot is a great way to take beautiful summer photos of engaged couple. There are some of the items we brought to set up relaxed yet romantic and timeless atmosphere.
Picnic blanket
Probably a picnic blanket is the first item you think of if you plan a picnic engagement shoot. When choosing your picnic blanket, I suggest choosing a blanket in light and neutral colour to archive light and airy engagement photos. For this engagement shoot at Chiswick House and Gardens, we picked a lovely neutral beige blanket with fringed edges.
Serving tray
The beautiful marble serving tray was picked for this picnic engagement setting. A serving tray is a great way to showcase cheese, grapes, and crackers, creating the perfect picnic vibe.
Food for picnic theme engagement shoot
Cheese, crackers, and grapes were elegantly arranged on a marble tray. We selected snacks that are easy to carry and mess-free.
Champagne to celebrate engagement
We also added a champagne bottle to our picnic engagement shoot setting, which was a fantastic detail! It brought elegance and a taste of celebration to the scene. The champagne, paired with fresh seasonal flowers from the garden added a beautiful colour palette and texture to the photos.
Seasonal flowers for picnic engagement shoot
The flowers were a perfect addition to the romantic picnic setting. A mix of seasonal blooms from the garden added a fresh and summery feel to this picnic engagement session. The flowers beautifully complemented the neutral tones of the picnic blanket and champagne bottle beautifully. Loved the look of flowers arranged in the wicker basket adding a touch of charm and texture.

I am very excited to share some of my favourite photos from Chloe & Brian’s Chiswick House and Gardens picnic engagement shoot. Photographing on film camera it allowed me to capture the soft light and amazing grounds of Chiswick House and Gardens in the most beautiful way.
