Pre-wedding Engagement Shoot? We don't want that!!

As you may know here at ASC Photography Solutions Ltd we pride ourselves with a level of service which is unusual in the current market. Unlike most Wedding Photographers we promote our renowned All-inclusive packages to our couples, which includes amongst other things an Engagement Shoot. The Wedding Fair season is upon us an undoubtably we will have a percentage of couples who will initially horrifyingly say "Oh no, we don't want that!!". However the reason that they give for their reaction is that they don't like their photograph being taken and want to limit the experience to the wedding day. What they soon come to realise is thats exactly why they should have an Engagement Shoot.

Almost without fail one of the wedding couple will say that they hate their photo being taken and that they are in some ways dreading the experience. Also the bride, once she starts thinking about here wedding photography, will start to ask questions about how to walk and sit in her dress, how should she pose, "what do I do with my hands?". For all of these reason, and more, we strongly recommend a photographic session with your photographer before the big day.

From my point of view this sessions will help prepare the couple, and me, for the Wedding Day. Initially it is a good ice-breaker and a getting to know each other session. I will be at your wedding all-day, so if we get to know each other better the day will flow right from the start, with more relaxed smiles and poses. The sessions are always relaxed and light hearted, but very productive for the couple and me. Each couple I photograph naturally suit different poses. The session helps us explore these options allowing me to plan very carefully the photography for the day, and at the same time proving to the couple that they can take posed and natural photographs. Come the day both the Bride & Groom will know what kinds of things we will do, they will be relaxed about it, and the intimate alone sessions we will have will be quick and effortless allowing them to get on and enjoy their day while I capture the rest of day naturally unfolding. We have only one opportunity to photograph probably the biggest day of your life, taking an hour to prepare really is a no-brainer.

We will announce on Facebook the Wedding Fairs we are attending, come along, we would love to see you. Alternatively phone us at the studio to book an appointment to view our albums and discuss your plans.
