Capturing Memories
| 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 | Lottie Povall says: Well, they don't say practice makes perfect without having a little truth behind the saying. If you're already feeling camera shy about your wedding day, then an engagement shoot is the ideal way to learn to relax and be yourself in front of the camera. One of the essential things to remember is that you'll only see the best photos! There won't be 50 of the same poses to choose from as that's your photographer's job, alongside helping you relax. I think a misconception about engagement shoots is that they are rigid and awkward when they can also be as candid as you'd like them to be. Personally, that's my favourite way to shoot them. They're a fantastic opportunity to spend more time with your photographer and see how they work and how compatible you are. On your wedding day, you'll know precisely how your couple photos will go, and you'll only need to spend 10 minutes away from your guests! Remember, you can think outside the box. You don't have to pose for hours. You can do something fun like go to an arcade, a fairground, a club, or the beach at sunset. You can even bring your pet, a great alternative if you can't have them with you on your big day. |
