Why did you have an engagement shoot?

“We’re not the most formal couple in the world and there is only so much of yourself you can put into a wedding, so we thought a shoot would be the perfect excuse to have something to look back on that is intrinsically “us”. The location of the shoot was very important to us. It was the place we first met and grew up from a couple of awkward teenagers… into a couple of awkward twenty year olds. Jay did a great job capturing that!”

How do you feel that having an engagement shoot will help with having your wedding pictures taken?

“We are even more confident that Jay understands the kind of couple we are and the type of pictures that reflect our relationship.”
