Boating Lake • Beach • Marshes
When Deni & Lewis arrived for their Cleethorpes engagement photos, they were full of those classic pre-shoot butterflies, unsure of what to expect and a little camera-shy. But as we strolled through the marsh paths, the golden hour sun working its magic, they completely relaxed into each other. By the end? You’d never guess they were nervous. They laughed, kissed, held hands, and just loved, and I had the joy of capturing every second of it.

Why I Love Cleethorpes for Engagement & Couples Photography
Cleethorpes Boating Lake, beach, and saltmarshes offer one of the most beautiful and versatile natural backdrops in North East Lincolnshire. You’ve got the soft grasses of the marshes, the gentle light reflecting off the lake, and the wide open beach for those cinematic, windswept shots. The lighting at golden hour here is unreal, warm, golden tones that wrap my couples in glow and give every image that earthy, editorial feel.
Whether you’re planning an engagement shoot, pre-wedding session, or even your wedding portraits, Cleethorpes is the dream. And best of all? It’s usually quiet enough for couples to feel like they’ve got the whole place to themselves.
Natural, Relaxed, Romantic
Engagement photoshoot highlights
I always say the best engagement photos don’t come from posing perfectly – they come from being present with your person. Deni & Lewis were so sweet with each other, stealing kisses, giggling in-between shots, and leaning into those soft, quiet moments. I kept things super relaxed so they could just be themselves, and that’s what makes these photos feel real.
Even though I only met Deni & Lewis recently, it was clear from the start that their bond is something beautiful. They’re the kind of couple who make each other laugh just by glancing the right way, who relax into each other like home. Watching their nerves melt into smiles was the biggest joy, and I know their wedding day will be full of that same ease, love, and laughter.
Whether you’re planning an engagement shoot, pre-wedding session, or even your wedding portraits, Cleethorpes is the dream. And best of all? It’s usually quiet enough for couples to feel like they’ve got the whole place to themselves.
The Beautiful Spots in Cleethorpes
Even though it’s my hometown, there’s something truly special about shooting in Cleethorpes, especially around the boating lake, beach and marshes. The tall grasses sway in the breeze, the light filters gently through the trees, and the horizon seems to stretch out forever. Whether you’re walking hand-in-hand down the beach path, sharing a quiet moment by the lake, or laughing in the wild marshes as the sun dips low; this place glows.
It’s full of rustic textures, soft golden tones, and endless space to breathe and just be together. For couples who want a natural, relaxed setting for their shoot, Cleethorpes offers it all.
