In the past when meeting with brides, it has been one of the questions asked again and again… Why is an engagement session included in your packages? Is it really necessary?
To that, my answer is always a resounding YES! No matter what, hands down, and many photographer’s would agree with me, that an engagement session is an important aspect to making your wedding photos be even better! Why you would ask? Because understanding your relationship and interaction with one another helps me as the photographer understand you as a couple. The way he makes you laugh, and the way you laugh, what you laugh at, are all things I need to know about. It is not only your relationship that is key, but me as the photographer understanding your relationship. Watching you interact helps me to know what to look for on the day of the wedding!
Not only do I get to see the way your act with one another behind the camera, I get to know you on a deeper level. During this session, I get more info on how your wedding day will look, what you like to do as a couple, who you are as people! Treating your session as a “date” (with a creeper following you with a camera!) is so fun. Enjoying the activities you like to do together puts a couple more at ease during that session and then on the wedding day! It really is one of my favorite times!
