Why Earlswood Lakes?
Earlswood Lakes is a haven for couples who feel most at home outdoors. With a mix of forest trails, quiet lakesides, and open fields, it’s a naturally beautiful spot that’s perfect for capturing easy, unposed moments.
It’s a location that gives space to breathe — where you can walk, laugh, sit under trees, or simply enjoy a calm, scenic atmosphere. These shoots tend to feel more like a peaceful afternoon together than a formal photo session.
Weather Suitability
The varied landscape works well in different lighting — even an overcast sky adds a sense of calm, and the wooded paths offer some shelter on damp days. While not ideal in heavy rain, it’s a flexible option for typical British grey weather, especially with a good pair of shoes.
Best for couples:
Who love nature and relaxed surroundings
Who want candid, storytelling images without overposing
Who want to include their dog or bring a thermos for a casual walk
Who prefer somewhere informal and close to Birmingham
