Review for - Smile Please Photography
My experience with Smile Please photography is extremely satisfying. Pankaj and his team were patient, cooperative and understanding in capturing all beautiful moments from my wedding. They are super talented and adept at what they are doing. They helped us to pose and even if we were busy doing rituals, they made sure they capture every moment we now relish. They have a modern eye towards photography that especially shined in my cinematography video. My album is super innovative too. I personally never had a chance to sit and plan photography for my wedding, my brother did all the research and decided to go with Smile Please Photography, and I could not imagine my wedding could have been captured any better than what these guys did!

Review for - The Lens Man Photos
Hi everyone,my friend referred me Lens Man photography for my marriage event, that's my first order given to them, but I have not expected the connectivity between us will be like a friendly mannerism. Lens Man Mr. Arun have created a perfect bonding with them and the quality of photos are too excellent and the creativity of him is beyond my expectations, sometimes he also recognising ourside ideas and giving better results in that platform also. On behalf of everything they have been kept us with more comfortable zone and giving a natural results of their knowledge in photography. I am very much comfortable with his responsibility, creativity, flexibility everything. The results of him with our wedding, outdoor suite and our family functions are very unique and special for us. Truly I support Lens man for further upcoming events of our own and my referrals 👍

What is Engagement Photography?
Engagement photography is the photo session where you and your fiance get clicked by a professional photographer. The photographer captures the raw emotion from your ring exchange ceremony. Engagement is one of the most significant events in your life. And it deserves to be captured with an amazing photoshoot.
The wedding day comes with some predefined rules. The rules of particular dress code and rituals can restrict you. But with engagement photography, you can play with your outfit and setup. From various quirky themes to different setups, it gives you the freedom to exercise your creativity.
Engagement photography also gives you some time to know your photographer before the wedding time. With engagement, you can understand his/her professional style of working and can deal with their personal behaviour too. Your engagement gives you time to be comfortable with the photographer’s style for future projects.
Before your engagement ceremony, make sure that you are aware of the latest trends in photography. It will help you in making your pictures amusing. With traditional photography, you can capture the ritual of exchanging the rings. It can be difficult to capture those moments with candid photography.
Enjoy your ceremonies so that your photographer can click you in your natural essence. This type of photography is known as candid photography. The photographer doesn’t give you time to pose and capture your raw emotions.
Aware yourself about the poses beforehand. You can always take suggestions from your friends and the photographer. But it’s better if you decide some of the poses for engagement photoshoot priorly. It will save time and will give you a wide range of options.

Frequently asked Question About Engagement Photographers
Q - When should you get your engagement pictures taken?
We suggest you plan your engagement, a few months before the wedding day. It will give you a gap which is much- needed because afterwards, you will get busy with wedding planning. On average, the time period of 2-3 months is the best suited time. Indian weddings have a lot of functions which need to be planned in the span of 2-3 months. The photos from the engagement photo shoot can be used for various purposes. You can use those amazing photos in your invitations, e-invites, save the date postcards and etc. Experiment with different outfits to make the photo shoot fun. Don’t forget to get clicked under traditional photography with rings.
Q - How many outfits do I need for engagement photos?
We suggest you keep only 1-2 outfits for the engagement photos. Struggling in changing too many outfits can create a lot of chaos. There will be so many functions and rituals to be performed. And if you keep too many outfits for one occasion, it will create hassles for you. So try not to change clothes more often and be comfortable in your outfit. If you are planning to wear two outfits, prefer that your first outfit is heavier than the second one. Keep your second casual as you won’t be getting much time to change. And getting ready with a heavy outfit (like lehenga, saree, gown) takes time.
Q - Are engagement photos worth it?
You can use your engagement pictures for many purposes. You can give a personal touch to your wedding invitations with the pictures from engagement. One can also use those pictures for video and e-invites. Pictures of you and your fiance will give your invites a personalised feeling and your guests would love it. Many couples take their pictures from the engagement to decorate their venue. Big flex posters are put at the entrances of the decor. Engagement photos are definitely worth it as you also get a chance to work with your photographer. You can judge his strengths and weaknesses through the pictures. After that, you can make up your mind if you want to continue with the photographer for the wedding day.
Q - Do you tip your photographer for engagement photos?
The tip for your engagement photographer is not mandatory. But if you feel that the photographer’s service was more than expected, you can tip him/her accordingly. If the photographer is doing the work which was already included in the package, the tipping is not necessary at all. But if you loved the edits, the pictures and shot, you can tip him/her then. Giving a tip is an informal practice but if you are really impressed with the photographer’s work then we suggest you tip them. This will increase their morale.
Q - How to compare engagement photographers?
There are very simple steps when it comes to comparing the engagement photographers. First, you make a list of the photographers with whom you want to work. After making the list, browse through their profiles and portfolios. Make up your mind and shortlist some vendors on the basis of your budget. Then compare the engagement photography price. If you find any vendors which are ready provide a great deal in your budget, contact them and ask for a quote. You can also hire an engagement photographer through WeddingBazaar.

Q - What are the latest trends in engagement photography?
There are many latest trends which you can incorporate into your engagement photo shoot. Hire a photographer who specializes in traditional and candid photography. Traditional photography will help in capturing the most important moments with proper setup and props. And for the natural shots, candid photography is the best. Another way of making engagement photography more fun is to add a drone to it. You can have amazing pictures and videos from a quirky angle. You can add props to spice up the pictures. Signages, boards, smoke bombs and flowers can be used to make the pictures more lively. If you still want to know about more photo ideas, check our blog section for more information.
Q - How much does engagement photography cost?
The cost of the engagement photographer depends on many factors like the number of hours, type of photography and extra requirements. On average, engagement photography can cost you around 30k-60k. If the number of hours is less, the photographer will cost you less. And if you have extra requirements like drones, props and etc, the price can go higher. Majorly, there are two types of photographs. One is candid photography and the other one is traditional photography. If you want a candid engagement photographer, the engagement photography price can go higher. Whereas, traditional photography is cheaper. In case you are planning to have a destination engagement ceremony, discuss with your photographer if he/she will take extra charges or it will be included in the package.
Q - Which is the best place for engagement photoshoot?
The place for the engagement photo shoot depends on the venue of the ceremony. If you are having an indoor celebration, the stage area is the best place to have the photoshoot. As it will be decorated the most, the pictures will be beautiful. But if you are having an outside ceremony, there can be many places where you can get the pictures clicked. Nature will make the pictures more fresh and lively. Some people also have destination engagement. Planning a destination engagement can cost you higher as there will be travel and accommodation. Farmhouses, forts, palaces, open lawns and banquets are the best places for the engagement photo shoot.
