I love shooting engagement sessions. Once in a while I meet with a couple who do not want to do it but that’s fine by me as long as we are having fun right?
There are so many other reasons to do engagement sessions; they have very practical purpose. It gives both the photographer, and couple an opportunity to work together before the wedding day in a less hectic and stressful situation. The added familiarity that is created during the engagement shoot helps everyone feel more relaxed and comfortable with each other on the wedding day, and builds trust between the photographer and the couple. It also gives the couple extra opportunities to not only discuss, but to show the photographer what types of photos they like for their wedding. It is an activity you get to do together, and have memories of.
I don’t like a lot of posing and being told to say cheese, on my shoots. So we pick an activity, or a place to go, that may have meaning to you, or just for fun. Then I get to hang out and take photos of you.
