Center Parcs Whinfell Forest Photography

I do love a photo shoot. The lack of pressure compared to a wedding is refreshing, and being asked to pop in to join a family at Center Parcs is no exception! This picturesque retreat nestled in the heart of nature provides the perfect backdrop for a memorable family photo shoot. Asking for some professional photos not only gives you a chance to have some memories captured with your loved ones, but also some professional photos taken of the nature around you. I love arriving at Whinfell a little earlier than the shoot. This gives me time to find the location (sometimes I’m asked to meet at a lodge across the park) and also to capture some nature photos along the way. The warm trees swaying in the spring breeze – red squirrels scurrying around the park – deer darting in front of my path – thick frost coating the landscape giving a wintery scene. It’s such a pleasure to capture them all!

Center Parcs Whinfell Forest: A Nature Lover’s Paradise

Center Parcs Whinfell Forest is a haven for nature enthusiasts.

From dense woodlands to open meadows, there is no shortage of breathtaking backdrops to choose from.

1. Golden Hour Magic

The golden hour, the period shortly after sunrise or before sunset, is a photographer’s best friend. The soft, warm light during this time creates a magical glow that enhances the natural beauty of your surroundings. Planning your shoot during these hours to capture stunning, ethereal images of your family immersed in nature can add a layer of magic to your photos.

2. Embrace the Outdoors

Center Parcs Whinfell Forest offers an array of outdoor activities that your family can enjoy while being photographed. Whether it’s kayaking on the lake, cycling through the forest, or simply taking a leisurely walk, these activities provide opportunities for candid shots that reflect the joy and togetherness of your family.

3. Utilize Natural Props

Incorporating natural props into your photo shoot adds depth and interest to your images. Explore the forest for fallen leaves, colorful flowers, or unique tree trunks that can add to your photos. While we go for a walk, whatever part of the park we end up I’m always spoiled for choice with the nature around us.
