Engagement shoot advice?

April, on August 14, 2019 at 9:33 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 8
So, we have our engagement shoot in about a month and I’m soooo nervous, does anyone have any tips for relaxing during the shoot? Im so worried all of my pictures are going to come out so awkward and/or bad because of my nerves 😂

    Wine. haha

    My FH and I were oddly nervous while driving to the sight. As soon as we started taking pictures, I felt relaxed. It took him a bit longer, but he got there.

    Keep it fun and remember how much you love each other.

    Maybe look at other engagement photos to get a sense of the kind of poses you might do and how to pose.

    We met up with our photographer about 30 minutes prior to our shoot and grabbed a beer lol! She asked us questions and we all just got comfortable being in that friendly intimate setting and then when we went to take our photos we felt like all old friends, the nerves were gone! Honestly be yourself and i’m sure the photos will come out gorgeous!!

    I also recommend looking at other engagement shoots to get comfortable with how people typically pose for those kind of shots. On the day of it wont feel as foriegn to you and it will be easier for you to relax. Your photographer will also be able to help you get comfortable in front of the camera. Try to laugh, crack jokes and make fun, your expressions will be more natural if you're just having a good time. You could bring along one of those single serve bottles of wine to drink upon arrival as well to help calm some nerves.

    My advice would be to keep each other laughing! Talk to one another as you normally would

    O my goodness mine is in a month too and I'm also really nervous! I just don't want it to be awkward but I think the photographer will help us with poses and hopefully a drink before will ease the nerves lol.

    We haven't done our engagement shoot yet, but we have had a couple picture shoot before, and the photographer gave us both two shots once we were about to start. It definitely helped and we both look happy and relaxed.

    LOL TAKE A SHOT!!
