If you're camera shy, an engagement shoot is an absolute must! The shoot will allow you to work with your photographer in advance to understand how they work and what will happen on the day. When you see the beautiful pictures captured at this stage of your story, you'll relax knowing you're in good hands and can enjoy the special day without a worry. A shoot is also valuable to your photographer as they'll learn your habits, like blinking or freezing up when you see a camera. They'll be able to adapt their work accordingly to ensure they capture you in the best way possible. An engagement shoot encourages you to think about your dream photos and allows you to try some poses out. Some photos will work better than you expected, but others not so well. Knowing that beforehand means you can spend your time on the day creating a truly spectacular album that you'll treasure forever!
