For Those Who Have Done Engagement Photos...

[fmichelle]

We're finally getting our engagement photos done on Monday (we've been engaged since May and we're getting married in April) but it's a photographer who is doing it for free because she is trying to build up her engagement portfolio.  I've searched examples of engagement photos in and around Los Angeles and sent her some samples of what we like, but I'm not sure she'll be able to provide enough in terms of posing and ideas on how to get great shots.  For those who have already done engagement shoots, how much was the photographer and how much was you two just being you two?  The main problem is my FI actually do headshot photography on the side and I'm a filmmaker, so I'm really not used to being in front of the camera and honestly don't like it all that much.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks so much!
