There are so many decisions to make when it comes to wedding planning! One of the most important is deciding whether or not to include an engagement session in your wedding package. While some couples may not feel it’s necessary, there are plenty of reasons to consider an engagement session.
Build a Rapport with your Photographer
Engagement sessions are a great way to get to know your photographer and build rapport before the wedding day. Your photographer will be with you throughout the entire day, and having a session for just the two of you will give them a chance to get to know you and your partner better. This, in turn, will make them more comfortable photographing all of your special moments.
Get Comfortable in Front of the Camera
Engagement sessions also provide an opportunity to practice being in front of the camera. Most couples are not used to having their picture taken, and an engagement session will give you a chance to get familiar with the process. You and your partner will be more relaxed and prepared for the wedding day if you’ve already had practice in front of the camera.
Use Engagement Photos to Announce the Wedding
Engagement photos are also a great way to announce your engagement to family and friends. You can use the photos for save-the-dates, or even share them on social media to spread the news. Your engagement photos will also be a great addition to your wedding albums and will be a reminder of the love and joy you felt when you first got engaged.
Engagement Session is a Fun Activity
Engagement sessions can also be a fun activity for you and your partner to do together. It’s a chance to spend quality time with your partner and create beautiful memories. You can pick a location that is meaningful to you, or even just explore a new place together. This can also be a great way to practice posing and get comfortable with your photographer before the wedding day.
Showcase Your Love the Natural Way with an Engagement Session
Finally, engagement sessions are a great way to capture the true love and connection between you and your partner. Your wedding day will be a hectic affair, but your engagement session will be a more relaxed and intimate experience. You’ll get to showcase your love and connection in an authentic and natural way.
Including an engagement session in your wedding package is an excellent decision for so many reasons. It’s a chance to get to know your photographer, practice being in front of the camera, announce your engagement to family and friends, explore a new place together, and capture the true love and bond between you and your partner. Ultimately, it’s a great way to create lasting memories that you will cherish for a lifetime!
