An engagement photo shoot is a fun and meaningful way to celebrate your decision to spend a lifetime together. It’s often the first professional photoshoot many couples do together, and those photos become cherished memories (and sometimes the stars of save-the-date cards or wedding websites!). If you’re searching for an engagement photo shoot in Perth, Norman Yap Photography is here to provide a relaxed, enjoyable session that results in gorgeous images. A standard engagement shoot is shorter than a full day – typically an hour or two – but still long enough to capture a variety of poses, outfits, and backgrounds. It’s all about you two: your story, your personalities, and your love.
Our engagement photo shoots are tailored to each couple. Here’s what you can generally expect from a session:
Props and Personal Touches: If you have props or ideas – maybe you want to include your pet dog, or you want to hold up a chalkboard with your wedding date – we’re all for it. These personal elements can make the shoot extra special. We’ve had couples bring picnic setups, bicycles, sports jerseys, musical instruments, you name it. It’s your shoot, so feel free to get creative!
Some couples wonder if an engagement shoot is necessary, especially if they’re already booking a wedding photographer. Here are a few great benefits:
Norman’s approach to engagement shoots is very down-to-earth. His warm and friendly personality helps melt away any initial awkwardness. One couple remarked, “We were so nervous at first, but within minutes Norman had us laughing and the photos came out so natural.” Another client noted how professional yet fun the experience was, which is exactly our goal – to deliver stunning images while you’re having a good time. With such positive experiences, it’s no wonder Norman has earned over 50 five-star Google reviews from happy clients. We’ll direct you when needed, but also give you space to be yourselves.
Technically speaking, we come equipped with professional cameras and lenses that can handle any scenario – bright sun, shade, or the golden glow of late afternoon. We often schedule shoots for late afternoon/early evening to get that soft light, unless you have a preference for morning. If weather is a concern (rain in Perth is rare but it can happen), we stay flexible – we can reschedule or pivot to a covered location if needed. Our aim is for you to enjoy the process and love the results.
After the shoot, Norman will select and edit the best images (light touch-ups for color, brightness, etc., we keep things looking natural). You’ll receive an online gallery of high-resolution photos typically within 2-3 weeks. We don’t watermark your images – they are yours to keep and use as you wish.
