The Engagement Shoot
You might be asking, “What exactly are engagement shoots, and why do I sometimes call them pre-wedding shoots?” Well, there’s a little overlap between the two, so let me explain. An engagement shoot usually takes place earlier on, sometimes even before you’ve started planning your wedding - and is a relaxed way to capture this exciting stage of your relationship. A pre-wedding shoot tends to happen a little closer to the big day and is a great opportunity to get comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding. As a Bristol wedding photographer, I also offer secret proposal photography if you’re planning something special and would like the proposal captured discreetly, without your partner knowing!
So, why have one? I love engagement and pre-wedding shoots because they’re a brilliant way for you and your partner to spend some quality time together, practise being in front of the camera and get a feel for how I work before your wedding day. We’ll spend around an hour creating relaxed, natural and creative photographs, while getting to know each other along the way. If you’re looking for engagement photography in Bristol or a pre-wedding shoot before your big day, it’s a great way to ease any nerves and discover that having your photographs taken really isn’t as scary as you might think!
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 happy to tell you that you have a pre-wedding shoot already included in 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 (most-likely at me), and get to know each other before the big day!
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 and feel happy that it's not just some stranger turning up to photograph your day!
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.
