Why you need to book an Engagement Session-if you haven’t already!
In all the craziness that comes with wedding planning take a moment to cherish this incredibly special time in your life. I adore engagement sessions as it gives me uninterrupted time with my couples before their wedding day. This allows us to feel like friends on the day you get to share your love story with everyone.
1. Nerves
Let’s get those out of the way already! Being the sole subjects being photographed is not an everyday thing, I totally get it! Of course you are going to have those butterflies in your stomach and feel anxious- trust me, I have those before EVERY session. Just know that I am just as awkward, we will get through this together, we will giggle and laugh, and I will probably snort at some point- it will be fine! By the time your wedding day arrives we will be just like old friends!
2. You’ll get to know Me-
Spending time together, before your wedding day gives us a chance to learn a lot about each other. I get to figure out what makes you laugh, see how you connect with each other, and allows me to build a genuine connection and relationship with you, that isn’t over the phone or zoom. From the moment we meet, I am watching for those little moments, the moments in between, the way you look at each other, your personalities and what makes the connection you share so unique and special. I want to capture it all.
3. professional photos before your wedding day-
If you are anything like most people the only pictures you have with your love, your bestfriend, the person you are closet to are selfies taken with your cel phone. How many of those are printed and hanging on the walls of your home? Having an Engagement session before your wedding day allows for you to show off your relationship, your personalities, and truly document this time in your life. The time you realized you can’t imagine ever being without each other. Your engagement photos can be used in so many different ways- think Save the Dates, personalized Wedding Invites, additions to the embarrassing Wedding Slideshow you know your parents and siblings are putting together and to have printed and framed on display on your actual wedding day.
4. Let’s explore and have some fun-
Your Engagement photos can happen wherever you want, doing whatever you want- we are truly only limited by your imagination! I can suggest some gorgeous spots offering mountain, lake or river landscapes, whatever your preference is or we can go somewhere that has a special significance to you both. Or it can be as simple as hanging out and doing something that you love to do together- I have always wanted to do a cooking at home session, or a thrift store pick each other outfits and then hit up a local brewery in your special outfits! We can do posed or a more documentary style- lets go capture the two of you doing something that you love to do together! Engagement sessions are another way to incorporate your fur babies in your session as well, especially if they aren’t able to be a part of your wedding ceremony!
Regardless of the type of Engagement photos you would like to have I am up for it! I adore getting to know my couples before their wedding day so reach out and let’s get your sessions booked!
