Three reasons we HIGHLY recommend engagement sessions!
1. It’s about the relationship!
Getting to know your photographer is a key aspect to making amazing photographs. We are super relational people, because we love people in love, that means you! We’ve also learned over the years that knowing our couples on a deeper level leads to better images. It creates a completely different dynamic during a wedding day shoot. Rather than being strangers working for someone taking pretty pictures. It becomes a set of friends gathered together to create intimate memories!
2. It’s good practice for you AND your photographer!
Most couples we work with have never worked with a professional photographer. And that is complete ok! It’s our job as professionals to help you feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. We work with you to learn how to pose with each other in ways that look natural and unique to how you two interact! An engagement session is a trial run for your wedding day to help you get all of the jitters out and see how fun and easy it is!
An engagement session is just as helpful to us as photographers! It helps us discover what looks the absolute best for you both. Once we have dialed in exactly what is “your look and feel”. We are able to use that on your wedding day. This can simply be us seeing how you hold each other when walking together. Or how you smile at each other when you think we aren’t looking. We capture all of those subtle moments. That’s what makes your photos truly unique to your relationship and love story!
An engagement session is also very much like the dress rehearsal for your wedding day portrait session. It will help the day of photos go so much smoother especially because you will be more limited on time!
3. It helps give you peace of mind!
We are obsessed with all of the emails we get that are filled with “LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE PHOTOS!!!”. They really do make our day! We honestly believe it’s because our couples are so relieved that they know that their wedding photos are going to turn out incredible. Seeing yourself in your own beautiful engagement photos gives you that peace of mind. We promise we are going to do our very best to make sure that your wedding photos are absolutely breathtaking!
Bonus Reasons: Doing an engagement session gives you beautiful photos for your save the dates! Using the same photographer for both will give you the most cohesive photos!
