An engagement session may seem like an unnecessary part of your wedding package, but believe me, you need one! Engagement sessions have many benefits and you won’t regret it! Some of the reasons why you need this session are below.
- Cameras Aren’t so Scary – Most people aren’t used to a camera or having their pictures taken professionally (I know I’m not — I enjoy being behind that camera!). An engagement session gives you a chance to get in front of that camera and get comfortable!
- Getting to Know Your Photographer (Me!) – The engagement session gives you a moment to get to know your photographer. Sure you’ve seen the portfolio (or I hope you have!) but actually getting to be around the photographer and seeing how they work is a HUGE necessity.
- Announcement Pictures – Use these pictures for your save the dates or to officially announce your engagement/wedding.
- Celebrate You and Your Loved One! – This session gives you time to just enjoy one another and capture those moments in the process. Do you honestly need another reason then to just love on one another?
- Authentic Photographs – Since this session is done in clothes you wear in a place that is familiar with you, some times couples feel their engagement photos are more authentic. Include your pets, items that have meaning (vehicles), or just go to a special place that has meaning, that is what these sessions are all about.
Most of my wedding packages include an engagement session just for these reasons! I enjoy capturing these moments and sharing them with my couples. Going to places or including items that have meaning is what makes these sessions so much fun! I try to have a quick turnaround on these sessions so you can use the photographs in your wedding day, save the dates, announcements on whatever platform you choose, wedding websites, and so much more! These are your photographs to enjoy and use!
I look forward to talking with you about your big day!
