Why you may already begin the search for your wedding venue and wedding photographer, here's some reasons you should also consider having an engagement shoot with your wedding photographer.

1. Get comfortable in front of the lens

If you or your partner don't feel comfortable in front of the camera, don't worry! An engagement shoot is the perfect practice to feel a bit more at ease before the day. Not only do we get the chance to work together before the big day, but you can also get a feel for it all - what do you like and dislike?

2. Meet your photographer

Booking your wedding photographer is one of the hardest decisions when it comes to weddings. I offer engagement shoots to my booked in couples as well as couples who just want their engagement captured. This gives you the freedom of meeting me before deciding if you want me for your special day. Otherwise, if you have got me for your wedding, this is a great opportunity to get to know each other more and I can get more of a feel for your story.

3. Save the dates or wedding invites

An engagement shoot is the perfect way to get some amazing shots of you both so why not put them to great use. Your images make the perfect save the date cards, wedding invitations or even favours. And above all you get some beautiful pictures to frame around your house. Its a no brainer as to why you shouldn't get me booked in today!

4. Have fun

The lead up to your wedding can be extremely stressful leaving limited time to spend some quality time and fun with your partner. A photoshoot is the perfect opportunity to soak it all in, spend some quiet time together focusing on one another and why you are here today. So let me capture this for you with my romantic and natural photography style.

5. Visiting a special place

There are many good places for your engagement shoot to take place. Some couples like to have this at their wedding venue in particular if its a stunning manor house or historic venue with lots of outdoor space. However, others like to take a trip down memory lane and re-visit perhaps the home town they met or where they went on their first date. Covering Bedfordshire and surrounding areas, lets capture these special moments together.
