The Importance of an Engagement Shoot

Engagement sessions are one of my favourite things to photograph. It’s a great opportunity to get to know my couples before their wedding and see how they interact with each other.

Reasons I think engagement shoots are great and a must have….

The more time you spend with your photographer the more comfortable you’ll be in front of the lens. A relaxed and happy couple make for much nicer natural images of the two of you.

Not only does this give me the opportunity to get to know you but you also get to know me!
