An engagement shoot booked by camera-shy couples has a slightly different brief to the average session, even if the process looks similar on paper.
The images need to work harder for a specific purpose, whether that’s a particular platform, a particular audience, or a particular use case that a generic engagement shoot wouldn’t necessarily account for. That means a slightly different conversation before the shoot, and sometimes a different selection of looks or setups on the day.
If you fall into this group, it’s worth saying so clearly when you enquire, so the session gets planned around the actual use case from the start rather than adjusted afterwards.

FAQs
Straight answers below.
What if we feel awkward in front of the camera?
Almost everyone does at first. The session is built around walking and talking rather than posing, so it stops feeling like a photoshoot within the first ten minutes.
Can we use the images for save-the-dates or a wedding website?
Yes, that is exactly what most couples do with them. High-resolution files suitable for print come along with web-sized versions.
