As a service, no. We usually leave the main travel arrangements and accommodation choices to our clients however we do include on the day travel as part of our packages. The means we will arrange a vehicle to transport us between locations on the day.

When booking overseas shoots, most of our couples tend to make a vacation out of their pre-wedding photoshoot, arriving a few days before and leaving a few days after the day we actually shoot their pre-wedding session. As a result, We feel more comfortable in meeting you at your desired destination, taking some glorious photographs and leaving you to enjoy the rest of your vacation.

Please note, we will of course provide support and guidance regarding travel throughout the shoot itself.

Where should we do our photoshoot?

The greatest thing about planning your pre wedding is that the location of your session is completely your choice.

It can be a place where you first met, a country where you fell in love, or merely a place you both adore and want to visit. When you choose a place that’s meaningful to you, it just shows in your photographs. That amount of joy and pleasure cannot be staged or posed.

Furthermore, by going to your particular destination, the photographs we capture will be a beautiful reminder of this special time and that much more precious to you.

Can we bring our dog to the photoshoot?

It’s funny that this is one of the most commonly asked questions for all couples. Our answer is absolutely! That is a splendid idea. We know that besides the two of you, your pets are also a part of your little family.

If you are planning on bringing your pet and are shooting local to yourselves, it would be great if you could invite along someone to look after your pet giving us chance to capture photos of just the two of you as well.

When is the best time for an engagement shoot?

Depending on the destination as well, the best time for an engagement shoot is usually in the morning or late afternoon. There are those locations that also feature some of the best sunset views in the world, so we always make sure to be there on time and capture these gorgeous backgrounds.

Furthermore, every season is special and brings different lighting and quality. Fall is especially great for engagement photoshoots as it gives many great clothing options, as well as that gorgeous golden afternoon lighting.

You can find out the best time of year to visit each destination by visiting our pre wedding calendar page. Once you have booked your pre wedding shoot you will receive a full planning service ensuring you are guided through the process of shooting at the best time.

How long does an engagement shoot last?

We have several packages, all of which are customisable to ensure you receive the perfect coverage length for your pre wedding session. Our standard time slots are 6 hours, 10 hours and 12 hours.

Will you tell us how to pose?

We will always try to nudge you in the right direction and show you some natural and candid poses that look great on photographs. Between all our guidance and directions, our goal is to make you relax and catch those in-between moments of spontaneity and those secret smiles and glances.

Our goal is to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera and truly experience the beauty that surrounds you.

No matter the situation, we will always ensure that your photos are taken in the perfect spot, whether that is to incorporate your surroundings or to find the perfect light.

What should we wear for an engagement photo session?

We could probably dedicate a whole page to this question, but we will try to give you a short answer.

hat always looks great in pictures is clothing that you love. Whether that’s the perfect wedding dress, amazing tuxedo or perfectly styled lifestyle choice. Clothing you love will allow you to love your photos when the shoot is all said and done.

If you are planning a bridal style pre wedding shoot (most common with bridal gown and wedding suit) then tailoring is included with all packages that include dress/suit as part of the package. We recommend a maximum of 3 clothing changes throughout the day to ensure a great variety of shots without spending too much time changing outfits.

Casual wear or lifestyle clothing is slightly different. At the end of the day you should wear clothes to you love. This is most important.

Can you give us any further clothing advice?

We understand that choosing the right clothing can also affect the end photo result which is why we always follow simple rules. Clothes that fit well, clothes that are comfortable and clothes that fit together as a pair.

Layers with just a bit of colour, or just one bold colour standing out always look good however try to avoid bold patterns as they may clash with some backdrops.

You should also consider the location of your photoshoot, and make your outfit fits perfectly for that location. If you have a seaside photoshoot white and pastel colours with layers and ruffles will add to the romantic tone of the photoshoot.

Take notice of the season and dress accordingly, so you don’t look like you’re freezing in your photographs. And lastly, make sure whatever you wear is comfortable, and you feel great in those clothes.
