Congratulations on your engagement, YAY! There is so much to celebrate, and this is so exciting! I am thrilled to share with you, 8 reasons why you should have an engagement session, and here’s why.

This season is so sweet and you deserve to enjoy it to the fullest! Your engagement season brings so many emotions; there’s joy and laughter, tears and transition, endings and new beginnings! But the one thing that stays constant through it all, is your love for each other. 

Planning a wedding can be overwhelming and busy at times so when you can do something together, just the two of you, seize the moment and soak up every second of being an engaged couple in love!

As a bonus,  an Engagement Session with your wedding photographer offers numerous benefits that can enhance your overall wedding experience to the fullest!

Here are 8 reasons why I truly believe an engagement session is an important part of the planning process…

Celebrate with an Engagement Session:

Take this opportunity to celebrate your upcoming marriage! I am sure you have waited for this day for so long and now it is finally here! What better way to celebrate your engagement than with a photo session with your new fiancé? This is the perfect opportunity to announce your engagement, show off that ring and enjoy a fun date night out with the paparazzi following you (;

Get to Know Your Photographer at your Engagement Session:

An engagement session allows you to build a connection with your photographer before the wedding day. This interaction helps you become more comfortable in front of the camera and establishes a level of trust, making it easier to capture authentic and relaxed moments during the wedding.

Use your Engagement Session as a Hair and Makeup Trial:

If you’re not sure how you want your hair and makeup done for your wedding day, a trial run is the best way to see what looks and feels the most like you! Use your Engagement Session to test this trial run out and see how well your hair and makeup photographs in pictures! Once the wedding day comes you will have a better idea on how to tweak this.

Get comfortable behind the camera at your Engagement Session: 

This serves as a practice run for the big day. You’ll become familiar with your photographer’s shooting style, posing suggestions, and direction. This practice can help you feel more at ease and confident during your wedding portraits.

Engagement Photos to share with loved ones:

This is a great way to get the word out to your friends and family with updated pictures of you and your fiancé! You can use these images for prints, share on social media or have as a keepsake for yourself. And, if you’re planning on sending out save the dates this is the perfect way to add a personal touch.

Personalize your Engagement Session with a Story:

Have your Engagement Session in a location that holds sentimental value to you as a couple. It can be where you had your first date or a place that’s special to your relationship. This personal touch adds depth and meaning to your photos and is worth capturing professionally!

Use your Engagement Session Photos for Decorations:

This is a great way to add personalization to your wedding day! You can use your images for save-the-dates, invitations, and to decorate your wedding venue. They also serve as a visual representation of your love story, commemorating your engagement period. Let’s capture a unique chapter in your journey together!

An Engagement Session Improves Your Wedding Day Photos:

When you have a chance to work with your photographer during the engagement session, they’ll have a better understanding of your preferences and how you photograph best. This will lead to more relaxed and natural wedding day photos. Your photographer can tailor their approach to your style.

And if after the engagement photos, there are certain images you like or dislike, this can make your bridal portraits go smoother on wedding day.

Your engagement photos are about YOU! You deserve to have this season captured exactly as you are and where you are. You will most likely only be a fiancé(e) once, so let’s preserve the moments that mean the most to you and the love you share together!
