For Charles Bishop of Pompano Beach, Florida, an engagement photo shoot allows the couple to get to know their wedding photographer a little bit more. The engagement photo session will give the couple an idea of how the photographer works, and get a firsthand experience of his or her caliber. If anything, the couple can work out “kinks” that they experienced during the shoot with their photographer so their wedding photography can run as smoothly as possible. Further, Charles Bishop of Pompano Beach, Florida says, the engagement photo shoot is the best way to capture the couple’s last few moments as an engaged couple before they get married.

A lot of couples that Charles Bishop of Pompano Beach, Florida has talked to, actually regret not having an engagement photo shoot; and often, they request to have one after the wedding. While this is of course not an impossible request to accommodate, Charles feels that the shoot has lost its authenticity.

If you’re a couple who has never had their photos taken before by a professional photographer, the engagement photos will give you an idea of how you both project in professionally taken photos. If anything, you can learn a few poses that will show your best angles, says Charles Bishop of Pompano Beach, Florida.

First, it’s one more memorable experience for you and your soon-to-be spouse; it’s one more story in your book of life that you can tell your kids and grand-kids about. Secondly, it’s your chance to include your kids (if you have any) in an important event that could change your lives forever. To make it even more fun, bring the dogs along! You and your kids can come up creative shots, themes, and costumes—it’ll be an experience of a lifetime for everyone, adds Charles Bishop of Pompano Beach, Florida.

Secondly, an engagement photo shoot is your chance to reconnect with your “firsts” as a couple—the spot where you first kissed, where you first felt the fluttering of love, your first date, and that special spot where you both decided to spend the rest of your lives together. If you have various locations to shoot, it will require a bit of planning, and this is also a chance to find out your photographer’s talent for logistics.
