Why you should book an engagement session
Congratulations on your engagement! Now that you have the ring, you can begin wedding planning! As you’re wedding planning you may wonder if you should book an engagement session with your photographer.
Here are 3 reasons why you should book an engagement session:
1) Feel comfortable in front of the camera: An engagement session is a great way to get to know your photographer and feel comfortable being in front of the camera. This is great practice for the wedding day! During an engagement session, I coach my couples through posing and prompts to achieve flattering and beautiful photos! By your wedding date, you will be a pro in front of the camera!
2) Many uses for photos: Engagement photos have many uses! Most commonly, engaged couples use there engagement photos for “save the dates” and wedding invitations. Some couples also use their photos for a wedding day guest book, or personalized DIY wedding decor. There are endless options!
3) Variety in your photos: An engagement session is a great opportunity to have some causal photos as the wedding day may be more formal. Consider scheduling your engagement session in a different season then your wedding (for example, if your wedding will be in the fall, you can schedule your engagement session in the spring for a different look). When looking back at your wedding and engagement photos you will have variety in options for photos to use around your home.
