Do You Need to Have an Engagement Photo Shoot?

Capture Precious Moments

Since you are engaged, now you would be planning the details for your big day, from invites and flowers to music and wedding photographers. With all these things clouding your mind, overlooking the engagement photo shoot is a common mistake performed by couples to be wed. Your engagement ceremony is something that is filled with love, joy and anticipation and capturing this event of your life can be as thrilling as capturing the moments of your big day.

Engagement Photo Shoot

There are several benefits of having an engagement photo shoot (commonly known as an e-shoot). Below are few reasons why you should not pass the opportunity of having the pre-wedding shoot.

Capture Precious Moments That Cannot be Relived

As time passes and you get closer to the wedding day, you find yourself getting busy with different things. So your engagement is an ideal time for an e-shoot. Since the vision of your future and beautiful moment of the proposal would still be fresh in your mind, that emotion would be clearly captured in your photos.

Derby engagement photographer – Markeaton park photos

Hello from your local Derby engagement photographer

This engagement photo shoot happened on a lovely spring time in May. I love spring; I think it’s the most beautiful time of the year! And I love May, because it’s time for my birthday :)))) As Derbyshire wedding photographers, we quite often take pictures and organise photo shoots in our area. This time we went to beautiful Markeaton Park to take some lovely engagement photographs of Jakki and Mark.

I always discuss outfits with my couples. One of my advices to wear something showing your personality and make you feel comfortable. I really like a vintage feeling of this engagement photographs. I knew that it has to be old style post processing for photos once I saw Jakki and Mark in the park.

As most of the couples we have photographed, Jakki and Mark were a bit nervous in the beginning, especially Mark. But then we went for a walk together, had a chat about their wedding preparations and which made them relaxed and the rest of the shoot went very well. As the guys told us later, this engagement photo experience helped them a lot on the wedding day. The pictures from Jakki and Mark’s wedding, held on another beutiful summer day I will share with you later, in a couple of weeks. Keep an eye on my blog posts 🙂
