He popped the question - you said YES!!
You're getting married and you're now "engaged"
It would be easy to completely overlook the significance of this time in your relationship - it's a time of planning your wedding - of promise of things to come - of really getting to know this person who you plan to spend the rest of your life with.
For most things to do with your wedding you can "try before you buy".
You visit wedding venues
You try on dresses and taste food
BUT when it comes to your wedding photohgrapher all you can do is look at the weddings they've done for other couples and hope your photos are as good - and what about who thay are as a person - will they fit in with you and your guests. Remember the wedding photographer will be spend A LOT of time with you both on your day and what could be worse that finding out on the day that you really don't get along very well.
To help couples with these problems I include a Free, No Obligation Engagement shoot as part of my wedding packages.
It allows you to meet me and see how I work, who am I and will we get along on your wedding day.
You get to experience what it's like to have your photos taken by a professional wedding photographer which most couples tell me really helps overcome the often felt fear of having photos taken.
You get 30 or so photos that really capture the love of this usually short special time in your romance.
I also provide a watercolour interpretation of your favourite photo so I can produce a "Welcome to Our Wedding" board for use on your wedding day.
What is entailed in doing one of my Free Engagement Shoots?
As I've said there's no obligation so this can be the very first thing we do after your initial contact. We'll choose a date and time to suit you and a place to do this; often it's a park or riverside or somewhere that has special meaning to you both - maybe where he proposed. But also it can be somewhere more quirky - maybe a city center at night or a sunset beach shoot - it's entirely up to you.
We'll meet and I'll explain a few details before we set off to do some photos. It's all very relaxed and informal and hopefully FUN! It's about me capturing the relationship between you rather than some stiff predetermined "poses" (and that's the same for your wedding photos too) Usually it takes and 45 minutes.
Back at the office I'll edit about 30 photos and upload to a gallery and give you a link - you can share these and download as you please.
If you decide you would like me as your wedding photographer then I simply ask for a £100 deposit to book you day; we'll meet again (or Zoom etc) to discuss all the details of your day and I'll confirm exactly what I'll do, prices etc.
