Tollymore Forest Park Engagement Pictures
Tollymore Forest Park Engagement Photos with Sandra and Simon in the summer, as the couple booked for a session in Newcastle, County Down. Sandra booked me for engagement photos in Tollymore Forest Park. We met at the car park, and I’ll have to be honest, I hadn’t been here for years. It took about an hour to drive here from Portadown, but it was well worth it.
Summer Engagement Pictures with a Christian couple
Sandra said that as they were Christians, we couldn’t get any kissing-type photos, but holding hands was fine. It's always better to ask first what type of engagement photos the couple wants. I’m not sure which Church they go to, as we didn’t discuss that, but it’s all good.
Nowadays, Tollymore is best known for being used as a location for Game of Thrones and films like How to Train Your Dragon. It’s always been a popular place for local people and tourists, and it’s easy to see why. With the Shimna River running through the forest and beautiful views, it’s a great place to visit if you’re in Newcastle, County Down or the Mourne Mountains. The park has a rich history, no doubt about it.
Tollymore Forest Park Engagement Photos
We took a walk around some parts of Tollymore, taking photos if we saw something interesting. In the summer months, this is fairly easy. For engagement photography, there was no shortage of locations and areas within walking distance. I tried to think of variations in walking, standing, posing and sitting down to break the engagement photos up a bit. There was some fantastic stone work and old medieval-type buildings here. As it was summer, the flowers were in full bloom, with plenty of pink and red on display. We didn’t come across the stepping stones, though, maybe next time! Hope you enjoy your engagement photos, Sandra and Simon, and if you’re looking for a Newcastle Wedding Photographer, get in touch with me. All the best with your future wedding plans.

Some notes before heading to Tollymore
The forest park has so many great spots that it is hard to pinpoint just one. The best time of the year is summer, but I would say winter and autumn would be equally nice. If heading here in the summer, though, make sure to wear casual clothes that are not too heavy; no point bringing a coat in the summer months, is there? Wear a colour that contrasts with the rich greens displayed in the forest, as you can see from my photos. The car park is paid, so make sure to bring the correct amount. The car park is massive, so no need to worry about that.
