The Portrait Company – formerly Adam Hillier Portraits & proudly the new portrait division of Adam Hillier Photography
Couple portrait photography is beautiful & so meaningful, it documents a very special & loving bond.
We’ve over 15 years of experience working with couples, shooting couple portrait sessions in the studio & have photographed over 650 weddings – so we’re extraordinarily experienced photographing couples from younger couples right through to elderly grandparents.
We always spend time getting to know you, learning about your unique relationship so that we can bring this to our work – meaning you’ll love the images because they genuinely reflect you as individuals as well as a couple. The sessions are relaxed and fun – as quite simply when you are having fun, your images become natural, believable, and incredibly engaging. When you look at your portraits, you’ll see the real you, your personalities, your humour and the closeness between you.
Please read more about our Couple Portrait sessions below.
The most important step. This is where we discover what you hold most special about each other and dear in your life, and what specifically makes your relationship so meaningful.
It’s a chance for you to pause, to stop and think, to remember what it is exactly you love and cherish about each other so dearly.
This simple and yet moving part of our experience allows you to see and reconnect with even the small things in your life, little details, simple gestures that often go unseen, or even merely taken for granted.
Through our discovery calls we learn what is most special and what connects you both.
Your discovery experience is then brought into your photography session. This is where we get to photograph what you love and treasure most in life.
This powerful photography captures all of the details, the touch, the expression and the bond between you both.
There’s an energy to our photography sessions, they are special whilst enjoyable and fun, natural and easy for all. You interact with your loved ones rather than awkwardly pose for the camera. It’s just you really being yourselves – but together and connected.
An incredible cinematic experience. Sit back, relax and be wowed as we reveal your unique, personal portraits of you and your partner.
Following on from your reveal is your design consultation, where we will assist you in the selection and customisation of your Artwork that will bring life to your home.
We work together to create incredible, bespoke artwork that really will become heirlooms for current and future generations to enjoy, a legacy to love
Once designed, your portraits and artwork will be edited and retouched before being sent in to production in order to come to life.
Our aim is to have your artwork ready for collection within 4-6 weeks of your order. Your finished wall art will be ready to display within your home where it will immediately exude all that love and emotion held within – and yes we would love to see a photo!
Over the years we have been asked so many questions by people considering or planning a couples portrait session, here are some of the frequent ones, however do get in touch if you have different questions of your own.
Bring them all, technically there’s no limit to the number of people who can be involved in a session as we have plenty of time to do different combinations and groups of people. Within one shot it is really hard to say as adults and children are different sizes, -but we are happy doing larger groups and will find a way to include as many as needed.
Yes, we will take you through our dressing for success guide which will really help you understand what different types of clothing to wear/bring. During these different parts of your session we will also use different backgrounds, and lighting to really create a wonderfully varied set of images for you.
Simply yes. We try to have a fun and creative part of the session where we really like to bring you and your hobbies and interests into some shots. We’ve had everything from full on baking equipment, scooters, ballet, fairy wings, walking boots, full camping setup, xboxes, sunglasses, funky fashion – you name it. The more involved and creative you are the more awesome the images end up!
Yes, of course you can. We do a lot of dog portraits and as dog people ourselves we know what a big part they play in the family. Just bear in mind that you may not ant the dog in all of the images so we will need to be able to settle the dog when not involved.
