Engagement shoots: what’s the pros? (There’s loads!)

Planning your wedding can be overwhelming, and we want this to be a stress-free zone, which is why having an engagement shoot before the big day is the first step to getting you both feeling chilled and comfortable in front of the camera.

Here’s why:

First and foremost, engagement sessions are an excellent opportunity for us to get to know each other. We’ll have the chance to work together before the big day, which will help you feel relaxed and comfortable during your wedding day - you’ll be focused on the main reason you’re there, to get married (!!!), so the photos will seem like a breeze . This is particularly beneficial if you're a little camera-shy, but don’t worry, I’ve worked with plenty of couples that fit into this box and ended up absolutely loving having their photos taken by their wedding day.

In addition to that, engagement shoots allow you to create some gorgeous, romantic images that you can use for your save-the-dates, wedding website, or even at your reception. It's a perfect way to celebrate your engagement and capture this special moment in your life - you could also consider PROPOSING AT OUR SESSION (if you want to do this and get the pictures to prove it, get in touch and we can hatch a cunning plan!)

Lastly, having an engagement shoot can help you feel more prepared for your wedding day. You'll have a better idea of what to expect during our photos, and I’m sure by then we’ll have some inside jokes by that point. This is all to help you feel more relaxed and confident, which will reflect in your wedding photos. 

An engagement shoot is a fantastic idea for anyone planning a wedding. It's a fun and creative way to celebrate your engagement, get comfortable in front of the camera, and create beautiful images that you'll cherish forever. So, if you're on the fence about whether to book an engagement shoot, I say go for it! It's an opportunity you won't regret.
