An engagement session… a must before your wedding!

An engagement session is a great way to celebrate your union, those pictures will be a memory of the time while planning your wedding, hopeful and impatient to start a new life with your loved one… those feelings and memories you’ll cherish forever.  We can’t stress enough on how important it is to have an engagement photo session and how it is key to your wedding photos running smoothly. We know you want your engagement photos to be as natural and honest as possible, true to your relationship and style as a couple, you want them to be the reflection of the happiness, joy and excitement you both feel because… you’re getting married!!! And there’s nothing quite as thrilling as that!

We recommend having an engagement session because:

1. It’s a great way to practice being in front of the camera, specially if you’re camera shy. It helps you both relax and connect in a special way, which helps set the mood for beautiful pictures. 

2. You get to know your wedding photographer, how they work and give you directions, also they can get feedback from you about the kind of photos you’d like on your wedding day and the right angles for both of you. 

3. An engagement session is the best way to capture the excitement and joy of getting married without the stress and the rush of your actual wedding day, so you can get the most natural shots without being worried or nervous about time. 

4. You get awesome images for a lot of purposes: to feed your wedding website, to serve as save the date announcements, for your online wedding invitations, to frame and display at your wedding, bridal showers and in your new home.
