A short list of questions, asked before you pay a deposit, does more to protect an engagement shoot booking than any amount of portfolio browsing.
- How many images will I actually receive, and how many of those are retouched?
- What if the weather, venue or schedule changes on the day?
- How long until I see a proofing gallery, and how long after that until every last file is actually delivered and usable?
- Is travel beyond central London included?
- Can I see a full, unedited example of a similar session, not just the highlights reel?
None of this is awkward to ask. Any photographer worth booking will have clear answers ready, and Emmet.t.c’s engagement shoot bookings (from £250 for an hour on location) are built to answer every one of these before you commit.

FAQs
Quick answers, no fluff.
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.
Where do engagement shoots happen?
Wherever means something to the couple: where they met, a favourite park, their own street. A London suggestion is easy to make if wanted.
