Preparing the Groom

If you’re a bride that is a little anxious about how your groom is going to react to this whole ‘picture’ thing, you’re not alone.

We receive so many emails from brides who are worried that their groom won’t be into it and I have great news for you. You’re both are more photogenic than you think! We are constantly surprising couples by discovering their hidden modelling skills and our most common response from our Grooms is “That wasn’t as bad as I thought! It was actually fun”. Boom! Mission accomplished! When the groom says that taking pictures was FUN, we have done our job well.

Your engagement session is supposed to be fun and relaxed, not forced or awkward. As you prepare for your shoot, there are a few things that you can do to help your groom know what to expect. First of all, I highly recommend sitting down with your partner and showing him 2-3 of your favorite engagement sessions from our gallery. Spend some time together scrolling through a few blog posts, this will allow him to gauge what his expectations should be. I also recommend that you allow for plenty of time to get to your shoot. There is nothing worse than when a couple shows up late, and they have been arguing in the car! That is definitely going to put you both in a bad mood.

Last but not least, remember to have patience, and don’t assume that he’s not going to have a good time. I think you’ll be surprised how much you will both enjoy your session with us!
