The Look Of Love
| Q | Lots of photographers offer an engagement shoot, but we're camera shy and don't know if it's for us. What are the benefits? |
| A | Tara Hook says: I would recommend an engagement shoot to you, especially if you are camera shy! Practicing in front of the camera before your big day can help relieve any of those nerves, take away those worries and help you to just relax and enjoy your wedding day. It is also really beneficial to practice certain poses before the wedding day. This will make it feel like second nature on the day, giving you more relaxed and natural wedding photographs as a result. An added bonus is you will receive some beautiful photographs as a couple to remember this special time of wedding planning. There really are no downsides to booking an engagement shoot! |

Camera Ready
| Q | We're feeling anxious about photos on our wedding day but also want a lovely album to look back on. Can you offer us some advice? |
| A | David King says: If any of my couples state that they are a little awkward in front of the camera, I always recommend a pre-wedding shoot. As a photographer, it's good to get to know your couple and how comfortable they are with posing. However shy the couple is, I always get the image I am looking for and knowing that the couple feels relaxed and at ease will help create a good image. One of the most important things is that the couple feel comfortable with the photographer and create a rapport before the big day. This will benefit everyone and the end result will be a wonderful wedding day experience with the most amazing memories and a beautiful wedding album. |

Capture The Moment
| Q | Lots of photographers offer an engagement shoot, but we're camera shy and don't know if it's for us. What are the benefits? |
| A | CJ Trickey says: Engagement shoots are the best! It means you can get to know your photographer before your wedding day, meaning they are a familiar face and someone you're totally comfortable with on your big day. Every single one of my clients says that they aren't comfortable in front of a camera, and they all say, 'That was so much fun' after the shoot! It's a great opportunity to head to your wedding venue together and for you to show your photographer your favourite spots that you want to capture on the day. At the engagement shoot, I give my couple tips on how to stand, how to look natural and what to expect from the 'formal' photos on the day. I can answer any questions and you get to see how I roll. Don't forget, you will get some banging photos too! Often your last as an unmarried couple. Some people use them on their invitations and table décor, or even print a giant photo that everyone signs around instead of a guest book. |
