Brighton Engagement Session
For many couples, an engagement session is their first professional photo shoot together. It’s a great way to become more comfortable in front of the camera and understand how to feel more natural. This practice will pay off on your wedding day, as you’ll feel more at ease and confident, resulting in super stunning wedding photos. Ta-Da!
Your engagement session is the perfect opportunity to build rapport with your wedding photographer. It allows you to get to know their style and how they work, and it gives your photographer insight into your personalities and how you fit together. Everyone has their own love language and this gives your photographer the opportunity to understand yours.
Engagement photos aren’t just for the fridge door or a nice frame somewhere; they can be used creatively in your wedding planning. Use these beautiful images for your save-the-dates, wedding invitations, or a guestbook. They add a personal touch and make your wedding stationery unique and memorable.
Engagement photos capture a significant milestone in your relationship. It’s a wonderful way to document this unique time when you’re preparing to spend your lives together. Planning a wedding is a fun time, being that much in love that you want the world to know it so celebrate those feelings with some gorgeous photos.
An engagement session gives you the chance to have photos in a location that holds special meaning for you both, whether it’s where you first met, a favorite date spot, or even your wedding venue. It adds an extra layer of personalisation to your photos and your overall wedding story.
Think of your engagement session as a trial run for your wedding day. It’s a great opportunity to test your hair and makeup, ensuring you’re happy with your look. Seeing how everything photographs can help you make any necessary adjustments before the big day. So maybe think about booking the trial for the same day.
These sessions also help your wedding photographer to understand the best angles for you both as they will edit the photos ahead of your wedding. I send a gallery that you can curtae which lets me know which images you prefer and which ones you don’t so I can avoid those angles in the wedding photos.
Yes, if you have an engagement or pre-wedding session with your photographer, it means both you and them are pre-prepared for those all important wedding day portraits. Typically we might spend an hour on an engagement session but I often only get 10-20 minutes for portraits on a wedding day so it speeds things up if everyone is prepared and we have a shorthand between us.
Last but not least, an engagement session is simply fun! It’s a chance to take a break from wedding planning and enjoy each other’s company. I tell my couples to treat them like a fancy date and dress with that in mind. Then maybe go for dinner after or make a weekend out of it. As I’m based in Brighton, there are plenty of fun places to stay and enjoy this very special time in your lives.
