ENGAGEMENT PHOTOSHOOT

WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR

CONGRATS!

You're engaged, and that's pretty freaking exciting.

We're Chris & Rosie, the duo behind Savage Weddings, and if we're being honest... we totally get it.

Being in front of the camera can feel awkward. We're photographers and even we freeze up when the lens is pointed at us. But here's the thing— your engagement session shouldn't feel like a stiff, posed photo shoot. It should feel like a fun date where you just happen to get some incredible photos along the way.

Our approach? We love keeping things natural with movement-based prompts that get you laughing, walking, twirling, and just being yourselves. No awkward "stand still and smile" vibes here. The best photos aren't just pretty— they’re tied to real memories, and that's exactly what we want to create with you.

So let's shake off the nerves, have some fun, and make magic together. Ready? Let's do this.

Your engagement session should feel like you—not just another Pinterest board. Think about places that matter to you both, whether it's where you first met, your favourite coffee shop, or even your own living room. Don't be afraid to go off the beaten path-why not hit up that quirky antique store, set up a picnic in your favourite park, or explore a graffiti-filled alley? Bring along anything that makes your story unique-your pup, your favourite records, or even a slice of pizza. The more you it feels, the more fun we'll have capturing it!

Let’s Make This YOU.

Forget the Perfect Outfit - Go For The Vibe.

Forget stressing over the "perfect" outfit-what matters most is that you feel comfortable and you. Choose outfits that match the vibe you're going for, whether that's laid-back and cozy, dressed up and chic, or playful and adventurous. Think layers, textures, and pieces that let you move freely (because we're all about those candid, in-the-moment shots). And hey, why not bring a second outfit to switch things up? The best style is the one that feels like you.

Instead of just standing around for photos, let's capture you doing something you love. Grab coffee at your favourite café, enjoy a picnic in the park, toast with champagne, or even going bowling. Playing music, cooking together, exploring a local market-whatever you love doing as a couple, let's bring that into your session. The focus is on having a good time, and the best photos come from those real, unplanned moments.

Do Something Together.

We're here to make sure your session feels relaxed, fun, and true to you. We'll guide you with easy prompts and keep things light and easygoing. After your session, you can expect your photos within 2 weeks max — perfect for sharing, printing, or creating a beautiful album. We're with you every step of the way, making sure your experience is as enjoyable as the photos themselves.
