Info engagement shoot
I never do a photo shoot the same way for everyone. Everyone is different and I try to capture you as authentically as possible.
There are couples who love to have coffee together in the city. Perhaps we can incorporate that into the photo shoot.
Some people love the beach. Then we can meet on the beach. Or maybe you are real book readers. Then we can also incorporate that into the photo shoot plan. However, this is not necessary, but is optional and just a recommendation to get more dynamics.
You will receive a mood board beforehand. Together we will see if it suits you. Then I make a shoot plan with all that information.
Posing
Because I have also created a mood board with you, you are also prepared for certain 'scenes' that I want to create. I prefer to see certain compositions like you're in you own film, with myself as the director. This way, nothing in the shoot feels uncomfortable or posed, but above all organic and natural.
Of course I let you do certain poses, but they often arise from an assignment. So in that case you will not always have to think about where to put your hands.
I provide guidance where necessary and I always try to keep in mind that every assignment suits you.
Props
Do you have a dog? Do you like to wear a hat? Do you like riding an Italian scooter?
It can be anything, but you can bring props if it is something that really suits you. It can also be fun for the dynamics in an engagement shoot.
Clothing advice
Stay away from big patterns and busy prints. No images, large letters, stripes (large or small) and no dots. So keep it calm.
When in doubt, choose natural shades of white, beige, brown, gray, green and black.
Materials can also determine the photo. Think of knits and linen for more structure. Or choose cotton to keep it neutral. Silky fabrics can give a beautiful shine.
Take the environment into account. Are you going for a luxurious castle as a background? Then choose a suit and evening dress.
But do you want a casual shoot in nature? Then opt for a more casual look.
You can always send me a message with a photo of your outfits to check if it fits properly.
Ready?
The main intention is that you enjoy yourself.
If you are still concerned about anything, just send me a message! I'm happy to help.
I'm really looking forward to it!
See you soon!
Warmly, Malou
