The importance of an engagement session

Why have an engagement photo session? Let me count the reasons.

Engagement session gets you acquainted with your wedding photographer

Most couples have engagement photos taken by their wedding photographer. This engagement session is the first real quality time they will spend with their photographer. It will allow them to get to know his or her personality and work style.

A session will give you an opportunity to get comfortable in front of the camera.

The last couple I photographed said they have not had pictures taken together ever. An engagement session will allow a couple to get used to being in front of the camera. The last thing you should want is to get to your wedding day and have one of you look tense and not at ease when getting your photo taken. Hopefully after you have a session, you will feel relaxed and carefree. That’s the way it should be for your big day!

Engagement session provides usable photos

Some couples think they have no use for these kinds of photos, but actually they can provide many uses. A session is great for getting photos for your save the dates, sign-in books or as framed displays at your reception. They are also a beautiful reminder of the time before you became a married couple.
