Michal Soo, a San Francisco wedding photographer, gives tips on getting the right results from an engagement photo shoot.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 23, 2011
After hundreds of engagement and wedding photo shoots, San Francisco photographer Michael Soo has learned how to make engagement photos turn out just right every time. He explains 4 steps to engagement photos that are unique, genuine, and shining with love.
1)Pick a Theme
Soo’s first step is to meet with couples to determine what style suits them best. Is the couple fun and loving or romantic introverted? Are they more likely to cry or laugh on their wedding day? Whimsical or glamorous?
2)Choose the Right Locations
“We then help narrow down the locations for the engagement photo session, the theme and then the ambiance and experience that brings out the glow of their love,” explains Soo. For a more casual, spontaneous feel, he loves shooting at beaches and forests. For an elegant, sophisticated atmosphere, he uses backgrounds of architecture and cityscapes. Some couples like to have a mix of both. He has found that the perfect spot can be anywhere from fields of flowers to caves to city sidewalks to on top of a police car.
3)Build a Trusting Relationship

The engagement shoot is an opportunity for the lucky couple to really get to know their photographer, and feel safe enough to let down their guard and just be themselves.
“What the couples should experience at the end of an engagement session is an intimate bond with your photographer, a knowledge that he/she can do not just a great job in your wedding but a level of trust that the wedding photos will turn out absolutely stunning,” says Soo. “It's a great way to get to know your photographer, as they will be in your face the entire day on the wedding day.”
One way he helps couples relax in the knowledge that their engagement photo shoot is going well is to let them see photos as they happen. “We show most of our photographs to our couples during the engagement session in-camera, and due to our lighting techniques, they tend to be wowed.”
4)Have Fun with It
“The engagement session should be supremely fun, because the couple is not stressed like they will be on their wedding day,” Soo says. Because engagement photos don’t have the same pressure as wedding photos, couples have the chance to cut loose and just enjoy being together. “What we do is to create a fun and romantic experience that makes the couple fall in love all over again.”
Soo’s technique has brought him rave reviews not just for his stunning photographs, but also his personability.
You are all surrounded with flowers, colors, dresses, family and friends. No doubt, one of the most important days of your life is your wedding day. Now, how are you going to remember it?

Well, wedding photography is all about capturing the moment and the feeling, so you want someone...
“Michael made us feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera--the entire day we felt like supermodels,” said Agata S. “He has a wonderful sense of humor and kept us smiling and laughing throughout the shoot.”
Anthony C. wrote, “Michael kept my fiance and I interested and entertained the entire day. We shot at multiple locations and I quickly noticed his ability to take a seemingly ordinary location and transform it into an extraordinary picture with his precise lighting and angles. By the end of the photo shoot we feel that Michael is more than just the photographer for our wedding. he is our friend.”
