The Engagement Shoot
You might be asking, "What exactly are engagement shoots, and why do I sometimes call them pre-wedding shoots?" Let me explain. An engagement shoot typically happens earlier on, sometimes even before you've started planning your wedding. On the other hand, a pre-wedding shoot is done closer to the wedding date, as part of your preparation for the big day’s photography.
Still wondering why? I love these shoots because they’re a perfect way for you and your partner to spend quality time together, practice being in front of the camera, and get comfortable with the whole photo process before your wedding day. During the shoot, we’ll spend about an hour creating relaxed and creative photos, while also getting to know each other better. Trust me, you’ll have fun, and if you’re feeling nervous about being photographed, this is a great way to ease those nerves!
Already booked? you may have a pre-wedding shoot included with your Wedding Package?
If you’ve booked me to photograph your wedding and your package includes all-day coverage, I’m excited to offer you a free pre-wedding shoot (also known as an engagement session) as part of your wedding package. This session is a fantastic opportunity for us to connect and get to know each other before the big day. It’s relaxed, fun, and definitely a great way to ease any nerves you may have about being in front of the camera. We’ll have plenty of time to chat, laugh, and just enjoy each other's company.
By the time you see your photos, you’ll feel completely at ease with the way you look together, and you’ll be reassured that your smiles and natural chemistry will shine through in your photos. On the wedding day itself, instead of feeling nervous about having your picture taken, you’ll actually look forward to it, knowing exactly what to expect.
Beyond just making you feel more comfortable, this pre-wedding session also helps me learn more about how you two interact with each other, your personalities, and even your little quirks. That way, on your wedding day, I can capture the most authentic, beautiful moments because I’ll have a better understanding of your unique dynamic as a couple. Plus, you’ll already have built trust with me, which makes all the difference when it comes to capturing the best shots on one of the most important days of your life.
