When you’re planning your wedding, the engagement session might feel like an “extra” — but in reality, it’s one of the most valuable parts of your photography experience. Here’s why:
1. You Get Comfortable in Front of the Camera
Most couples have never had professional photos taken together. Your engagement session is like a relaxed practice run — no wedding day pressure, just time to get used to being photographed.
2. You’ll Build Trust with Your Photographer
Think of it as a rehearsal. By the time your wedding arrives, we’ll already know how you interact best, which poses feel natural, and how to make you feel at ease. That means smoother, more genuine photos on your big day.
3. You’ll Have Photos for Your Save-the-Dates
Engagement photos are perfect for invitations, wedding websites, or framed prints at your reception. They add a personal touch to your design suite.
4. A Chance to Celebrate This Chapter
Engagement photos aren’t just “for the wedding.” They’re about capturing the in-between moments—life as you are now, before the chaos of wedding planning.
✨ Pro Tip: Schedule your engagement session at least 6–8 months before your wedding. That way, you’ll have plenty of time to use the photos for stationery or your wedding website.
