The engagement photoshoot

As a wedding photographer in London, I often hear couples telling me how uncomfortable and uneasy they feel about having their pictures taken. This was very much the case when I first spoke to Roz and John about their pre-wedding session. The wedding day is something that I really want them to treasure and remember as a stress-free experience. I want my couples to feel comfortable and relaxed. This is why I suggest doing an engagement photoshoot before their wedding.

The wedding couple

When I first met Roz and John, it was not in person but via Skype, as they are based in Singapore for work reasons. John looked a bit anxious and worried about the engagement photoshoot, and I totally understood. At the end of their wedding day, when it was time to say goodbye, John to said 'Thank you!' and hugged me. I was surprised but delighted.

I knew how difficult it was for him to let it go and trust me, first at the engagement session and then on their wedding day. So, seeing how he conquered his fears and enjoyed the experience was beautiful. I am very passionate about my work and always go the extra mile, so I was proud to have made them happy.

Engagement photography in London

Using a location in London that is special to the couple meant they felt comfortable and at home. Before moving to Singapore, Roz and John used to live in London, not far from the river Thames, between London Bridge and Bermondsey. This is precisely where we decided to go for their engagement photoshoot. We met at The Deam Swift, an independent pub in London SE1. This was once their local pub. It was welcoming and friendly. An excellent place to start the pre-wedding session.
