Every couple has a unique story, and at Manu Singh Photography, it’s my passion to capture that story in a way that feels timeless and authentic. When Gurmaan & Terence asked me to photograph their love at Strawberry Hill House, I knew right away that this shoot would be special. With its fairytale architecture and beautifully landscaped gardens, Strawberry Hill House set the perfect stage for an intimate and romantic photoshoot, where the couple’s love truly made the atmosphere glow.
Setting the Scene: Strawberry Hill House, London’s Hidden Gem
As I arrived at Strawberry Hill House, tucked away in the heart of London, I was immediately struck by the Gothic Revival architecture. The house’s white exterior with its whimsical towers and intricate details felt like something out of a storybook. And with its perfectly manicured gardens and soft, filtered light, it became clear that this was the ideal location to capture Gurmaan & Terence’s love story.
We started the shoot as the sun dipped lower in the sky, giving the entire scene a romantic and moody vibe. The soft light played beautifully off the couple’s natural chemistry, and as they moved through the grounds, it felt as though the house itself became a part of their story—an elegant, historic backdrop for a modern love.
The Couple: Love That Lit the Ambience
From the moment I began photographing Gurmaan & Terence, it was clear that their connection was something special. Their laughter, shared glances, and quiet moments together gave the entire shoot a sense of intimacy. I focused on capturing the candid moments that truly showcased their love, rather than creating posed images. This allowed their natural bond to shine through in every shot.
As they strolled through the gardens of Strawberry Hill House, hand in hand, their love seemed to light up the space around them. The lush greenery and rustic stone walls provided the perfect contrast to the soft romance of the couple, creating a beautiful balance between nature and emotion. The candid and documentary-style photography I employed allowed for a more authentic portrayal of their relationship, resulting in images that are as genuine as they are beautiful.
Creating the Romantic and Moody Vibe
What made this shoot truly stand out was the way the natural light and the surroundings worked together to create a romantic, moody ambiance. The late afternoon sunlight filtered through the trees, casting long shadows across the grounds and giving the images a soft, dreamlike quality. This moody lighting perfectly complemented the intimate moments between Gurmaan & Terence, adding depth and emotion to every shot.
Inside Strawberry Hill House, we found equally breathtaking settings. The high-ceilinged rooms and grand windows allowed the soft light to pour in, enhancing the cinematic vibe we were aiming to achieve. The Gothic details of the interior added a layer of drama to the shoot, while the warm tones and textures of the décor brought a sense of coziness and romance.
A Love Story in Every Frame
Throughout the day, my goal was simple: to capture Gurmaan & Terence’s love story in a way that felt authentic and timeless. The beauty of Strawberry Hill House became the perfect canvas for this story, with every corner of the house and its grounds offering new opportunities for creativity.
From the quiet moments where the couple simply held each other close, to the laughter shared as they explored the gardens, every shot told a part of their story. The documentary-style approach allowed the day to unfold naturally, giving me the chance to capture the raw emotion of the moment without interrupting the flow of their connection.
