How To Ace Your Engagement Shoot

Written by Leah Blundell
Photography by Loraine Ross Photography

“The engagement shoot isn’t a test run or a photo checklist—it’s a chance to take a breather… and get some photos you’ll actually want to frame.”

Stephen Walker Photography

Let's put these photos to use! Think: save-the-dates, wedding websites, guest books, or even just for your socials. Plus, it’s always nice to have professional photos of you two in your everyday get up, not just dressed up in wedding attire.

“The biggest trend at the minute is making the shoot feel real. Less staged posing, more movement, real emotion capturing the real bond between the couple rather than just taking aesthetic photos!”

“Your photographer spends more time with you on your wedding day than most of your guests, so having them feel like a friend is so important, and an engagement shoot is a great way to start that.”
