I have planned to share this post for a while and now that my busy season has came to an end, I FINALLY have time to get it done!
I adore engagement sessions. I include it in every wedding experience and unless you are really far away from me, I make it happen! Here is why I feel like they are so important!
1. It starts our relationship.
Remember why I believe in client relationships? I spend more time with you on your wedding day than your future spouse. So in order for that to be beneficial for both of us, we need to know each other! Getting to know you before the big day just insures that I capture your day the best I can!
2. It makes posing a BREEZE!
During the engagement session, I walk you through my posing and I learn what looks good with you guys. So on your wedding day, we can just rock out portraits super fast! Most wedding days only give us around 30-45 minutes for portraits. I need to be able to explain things in a way that we can move quickly to give you MORE photos!
3. It wins over the groom.
Usually the groom is hesitant about photos. The Bride is usually excited and the groom dreads it. The engagement session allows me to break the ice with the groom and show him that portraits aren’t going to be that bad and can actually be FUN!
Great post!! And these are absolutely great reasons!!
