Engagement photo shoots normally happen a few months before the wedding, sometimes soon after booking your photographer.

Sometimes it’s where the couple met, or where the marriage proposal was made. Often it’s a seaside or park, somewhere with lovely scenery away from bustling city’s.

Sometimes an extremely organized and confident proposer will organize the shoot to capture the proposal and of course the acceptance. They usually take an hour but can be longer depending on your photographer. Depending on your agreement with the photographer you normally receive lots of edited pictures for printing or use on the web. We usually deliver a minimum of 30 pictures from a one-hour shoot.
