The Engagement Shoot And Why You Should Plan One!

The Engagement shoot helps you to Get to know your chosen Photographer

Usually, your engagement shoot is arranged so you get to know and relax with your chosen photographer, the shoot takes place at your chosen location somewhere special for both of you. It usually lasts about 2-3 hours giving you time to get to know one another and to get more of an idea of what to expect on the day being in front of the camera. It also allows your photographer to get know more about what style of photography you would like along with your likes and dislikes.

AN ENGAGEMENT SHOOT helping you feel relaxed in front of the camera

Lauren was really nervous about their engagement shoot, and she had no idea what they would be doing! Very quickly, their photographer helped them relax, recommending a quiet beach where they simply walked around whilst he took some photos from far away and then closer as they felt more comfortable.

“It was quite a windy day, but he did a great job and captured the surroundings beautifully. We were so glad we went for it in the end because it was a chance to get comfortable having our photo’s taken, and seeing the results put our mind really at ease because we knew that we could trust Steven to take great photos on the day, which he did!”
