Engagement shoot with your Wedding Photographer
Choosing a wedding photographer is a crucial decision. Your wedding photos are memories that will last a lifetime, and you want to make sure that you choose a photographer who can capture your special day exactly how you envision it. I mean most brides go for numerous dress fittings, hair and make-up trials and even some have a tasting menu to ensure they like the food they will be serving at their wedding! So why not do an engagement shoot with the photographer you want to book for your wedding (I mean you can use the photos on your wedding invites/website). That's why we highly recommend doing an engagement shoot with your wedding photographer before booking them. Here's why:
Make Sure You Like Their Style. Every photographer has their own unique style, and it's important to make sure that you like their style before you book them for your wedding. By doing an engagement shoot, you can see their portfolio, and get an idea of their shooting style, editing style, and the overall quality of their work. This will help you to determine if their style is a good fit for you and your partner.
Make Sure You Get Along. You'll be spending a lot of time with your wedding photographer on your big day, so it's important to make sure that you get along. An engagement shoot is a perfect opportunity to get to know your photographer and build a rapport with them. You'll be able to see how they work, how they communicate, and how they handle unexpected situations. This will help you to determine if you feel comfortable around them and if they are someone you can trust to capture your special moments.
Build A Good Report With Each Other. An engagement shoot is a great opportunity to build a relationship with your photographer. By spending time together, you'll be able to talk about your vision for your wedding, discuss any concerns or questions you may have, and get to know each other on a more personal level. Building a good rapport with your photographer will help to ensure that they understand your vision for your wedding day and can capture it in a way that is unique and personal to you.
Get Comfortable In Front Of The Camera. An engagement shoot is also a great opportunity to get comfortable in front of the camera. Many couples are nervous about being photographed, especially if they've never done a professional shoot before. Doing an engagement shoot with your photographer will help you to relax and get used to being in front of the camera. This will help to ensure that you look natural and comfortable in your wedding photos.
In conclusion, doing an engagement shoot with your wedding photographer before booking them is a great way to ensure that you choose the right photographer for your special day. It will help you to determine if you like their style, if you get along, and if you can build a good rapport with each other. Plus, it's a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera and to build some beautiful memories leading up to your wedding day.
