Many couples find themselves torn between taking engagement photos, or skipping them all together. For most couples, taking engagement pictures is their first opportunity to have professional pictures taken together. This alone can make the session worth while, but there are also several other reasons why you may want to rethink skipping out on an engagement photography session.
I always believe that engagement sessions are crucial! Not only to have them done, but to have them done with your wedding photographer. This means that an engagement session is a great opportunity for a photographer to get to know the couple before taking their wedding pictures. This first session can help the photographer see how the couple interacts with each other and get to know their personalities.
To me, having a solid relationship with my couples is one of the most important things to me. It’s important to build not just a relationship, but a friendship with the person in charge of documenting your wedding day.
You don’t want a stranger in the room, you want your friend and someone you trust 100% with the moments happening around you.
