How Much Does an Engagement Shoot Cost in Sydney?
An engagement or pre-wedding shoot is one of the loveliest - and best-value - sessions you can book. It gives you relaxed, beautiful photos of the two of you, and a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera before the wedding. Here is an honest guide to what it costs in Sydney.
What an Engagement Shoot Costs
Because it is a short, focused session, an engagement shoot is very affordable. With us, a pre-wedding shoot is available from $400, or a couples session fits neatly into our 2-hour Highlight package at $299. Either way, you get a relaxed hour or two at a location you love, and a gallery of edited images. You can see the detail on our packages page. (Prices current at the time of writing.)
Why It's Worth It
An engagement shoot earns its cost in a few ways. You get gorgeous portraits for save-the-dates, an engagement announcement or the wedding itself. You get comfortable with your photographer and the camera, so the wedding day feels easier. And you keep beautiful images of this season, before the day itself. Our guide to feeling relaxed in front of the camera is a lovely companion read.
Booking It With Your Wedding
Many couples add a pre-wedding shoot to their wedding coverage, which is often the best-value way to do it. It also means your photographer already knows you when the big day comes, which shows in the photos.
Final Thoughts
An engagement shoot in Sydney is affordable, useful and lovely to have. The most important thing is a relaxed session with a photographer who makes you feel at ease.
