Engagement Shoot: Dan and Jen

Here are some photos from our shoot with Dan and Jen.  This is our first time doing an engagement shoot and to be honest, we completely love them now.  We had such a great day and got some beautiful candid shots of the pair.

The day started with some white background type shots in our studio but it was evident pretty early on that they weren’t really working.  We needed something a lot more relaxed and natural.  We went for a walk to where they got engaged.  The band stand on the Embankment in Bedford was a great place to start.

Jenny told us as the start of the day that she was really nervous about being photographed but that certainly changed by the end of the day.

We got the following text from Jenny in the evening after the shoot and we realised straight away the real value in doing pre wedding shoots.

“Just wanted to thank you for making a really frightening day into a fun one. We both really enjoyed ourselves thanks to you both. Really looking forward to the wedding day photos now. Thank you so much”

Not only do you get some great shots but you get all the pre shoot nerves out of the way before your wedding day.  It makes such a difference.  Can’t wait for their wedding now.  That point when you know the bride and groom are comfortable and relaxed is a great place to be.

We then went down to the river where they used to go on dates when they first got together.
