Why engagement shoots are worth while

and how they can benefit your wedding day

Having an engagement shoot (or a “pre-wedding shoot” if you will), is a good chance for you to work with your photographer, giving you a taste of what to expect on your wedding.

Not only that, it also gives you both some time to get to understand your photographer’s approach and build up a working relationship with them.

Some people are naturally uncomfortable being in front of a camera, so by having an engagement shoot you will be more at ease with having your photograph taken on your wedding day. This will lead to more natural and carefree images – which, I imagine, is what you are after.  If you are one of those who is not a fan of the camera, the last thing you want from the most important day of your life are images of yourself looking like a lost dear in headlights! 🙂

Another benefit of having a professional photoshoot of coure, is that you will be able to use the images on your invitation and/or your save the date cards.  

An alternative option might be to have a signing book for your guests to complete on the day, containing the images from the shoot.

Finally, it is obviously an opportunity to capture a moment of you both together, before the whirlwind of your wedding day!
