Last summer I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful engagement shoot in the stunning city of Lucca, Tuscany. The couple was truly a sight to behold; the bride-to-be was a stunning beauty, while the groom-to-be was a very charming man.
As a professional photographer from Tuscany, I have had the privilege of capturing countless engagement shoots and weddings throughout the years. However, this particular engagement shoot stood out to me for a very special reason, it allowed me to truly connect with the couple and bond with them before their big day.
This is why I encourage all couples to book an engagement shoot before their wedding day, not only is it a wonderful opportunity to capture some beautiful photos of the two of you but it’s also a chance to get to know your photographer and establish a connection with him.
During this particular engagement shoot, we explored the beautiful city of Lucca together, capturing shots along the way. The couple was so natural and comfortable in front of the camera and it was clear to me that they were meant to be together.
As we took photos and chatted, I quickly realized that we had so much in common. We talked about our shared love of Tuscany, food, and wine, and it was evident that we had formed a true bond.
On the day of their wedding, I arrived at the venue feeling excited and ready to capture some amazing shots. Thanks to our bond from the engagement shoot, the couple felt comfortable and at ease in front of the camera, which made for some truly stunning photos.
In the end, the photos from the engagement shoot and the wedding day turned out great but more importantly, I gained two new friends in the process. So if you’re getting married soon, I strongly encourage you to book an engagement shoot with your photographer. It’s not only a chance to capture some beautiful photos, but it’s also an opportunity to connect with your photographer and establish a relationship that will help you feel more comfortable and relaxed on your big day.
ciao!
