Congratulations! You’ve gotten engaged and now you’re starting your wedding planning process. One of the vendors you choose to book is your wedding photographer. Some might say your photographer is one of the biggest choices you make along this wedding planning journey. They are there to capture all of the important moments of the biggest day of your life, so they will be right there with you as you’re tying the knot. It’s key to choose a photographer that you feel comfortable with and actually like, as well as basing who you choose off of their photography style.
Let’s say you’ve met/chatted with a few different photographers, either via Zoom or face-to-face, and you found one that you think is perfect for your wedding, so you book them! This is where engagement photos are key. Some photographers even include an engagement session in their packages because they’re this important. These sessions let the couple and the photographer get to know each other in a more relaxed setting. The photographers get to feel out what their clients are comfortable with, and the couple gets to see what the photographer is like in this setting before the chaos and emotions of their big day.
More often than not, it is usually the bride who makes contact with the photographer, and can be just her when meeting with them. The groom may never have met the photographer before the wedding unless you have an engagement session. This way, by the time the wedding day rolls around, you, your photographer, and your fiancé will already be comfortable around each other, and it just adds to the ease of the day!
Besides, we’re all for having another set of photos to commemorate this season of life that you’re in! It’s so exciting for the both of you, and having an engagement session captures these emotions for you to look back on forever!
Engagement sessions also gives you a chance to be more personal in your photos. You can choose to have them done doing something that is special to you and your fiancé, or in a place that is significant to you two. We also love when our couples bring along their fur babies as well! The options are really endless!
