subject: 3 Interesting Engagement Photography Styles [print this page] While it is important learn about the couple before the shoot, you will also learn even more about them during the shoot. Because this includes shooting guided and photojournalistic photography, a longer engagement session is typically required, though not always. However, more time allows the photographer to guide the couple through the traditional posed pictures, catching candids in between, and leaving time for them to capture a photojournalistic feel. Often times, try to schedule a few different locations for this type of engagement session. This allows the couple to have more freedom in their shoot for different looks, wardrobe changes, and moving to places that are special to them as a couple. Examples of some engagement shoots done in the past include couples who want pictures done at the place they first met, where they shared their first kiss, where he asked her to marry him, or somewhere that is all their own. Because of more time and more flexibility, you will not only get to know the couple better before their wedding day, but give them the opportunity to have a multitude of options to choose from when it comes to their engagement photos.
