When you are booking a photographer for your wedding, it is important that you do an engagement session with them before your wedding. I know you are probably thinking, “We already had a session when we got engaged”, which is valid but let me tell you the reasons to do an engagement session with your wedding photographer.
When you think about your wedding and the pictures you want, I am sure you have a Pinterest Board with all of the ideas and the vision you are going for. Don’t forget that you have to be in front of the camera to get those pictures. Now, that can be super intimidating for someone who has never been in front of the camera before.
Since most brides and grooms have not been in front of the camera before, an engagement session is so important because it allows you to get used to being in front of the camera. That will help with the nerves on your wedding day! Your wedding day is such an important day, and you deserve to only feel happiness and excitement, so by getting used to your photographer and their camera, you can cut out that feeling of stress and anxiety!
When your photographer is shooting your wedding day, we want to provide you with a stress-free and seamless experience while also providing you with a ton of gorgeous photos. The best way we can achieve this is by having an engagement session with you. It allows us to get to know each other and build a friendship. We also get to learn what poses work and what poses do not work, so that way on your wedding day there is no trial and error. We will go into your wedding day with a game plan of what will be beautiful and are able to execute it perfectly!
I know the thought of being in front of the camera can be stressful, but get those nerves out of the way before the wedding day. Also, make sure that you pick a photographer with whom you mesh well because that will make the experience so much more enjoyable!
