Widespread for some time in the United States and Anglo-Saxon countries, the engagement shoot is experiencing a fortunate season in Italy too, where many couples about to get married, want to treat themselves to a photo shoot like this.
But what is an engagement shoot? When and where is it made? This is an intimate and spontaneous photo shoot dedicated to engaged couples in view of the “yes”, a moment all to themselves to remember the magical moment that precedes the wedding.
An engagement shoot is always a lucky choice for several reasons: it represents a first approach with the photographer who will then carry out the wedding service, a way to get to know each other and win the numerous backlashes that inevitably creates the camera lens.
The photographs, spontaneous and made in peace (it is no coincidence that natural locations are preferred: woods, gardens, lakes or characteristic villages) will be an indelible memory for the couple but they can also be used, as very often happens, to announce to friends and relatives the wedding date … a Save the Date truly special and surprising.
An example is the original Save the Date by Francesca and Daniele, created in collaboration with the Umbrian web agency Monkey Media. In the case of this beautiful couple, the photo shoot was used for the creation of a mini website, a real engagement diary and a virtual wedding participation to be shared with their guests instead of the traditional paper postcards. An interactive page that contains memories, photographs and all information (always updated) in view of the wedding. Be inspired by taking a look at My Wedding Diary !
For all couples who wish to make an engagement shoot, I recommend contacting the photographer chosen for the wedding (who will keep the style, atmosphere and color most suitable for each couple) at least 6 months before the date set for the wedding, in so that the service is available when the wedding date is announced. I always recommend to my customers an easy and natural clothing, a flower for her, a location between green and art.
Here I leave you some pictures from theengagement shoot of Sian and Paul, an adorable couple from London who chose Umbria for their wedding. Their beauty and their smiles, the Castle of Rosciano as a background and the beautiful flowers of Sartoria Floreale for Say Yes Events did the rest … what do you say … aren’t they wonderful?
