5 Reason You Should Take Engagement Photos

I. YOU GET TO MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

An engagement sessions is the perfect time to not only meet your photographer in person but to get comfortable with how they photograph couples. Your photographer will be with you for many hours on your wedding day so it's helpful to get to know them as much as possible beforehand. You can also get another opportunity to talk about your wedding day details, vision, and ask any questions! An engagement session really helps take away a lot of nerves on your wedding day because you'll already know what to expect from your photographer.

II. HAVE PROFESSIONAL PHOTOS TO USE FOR SAVE THE DATES OR WEDDING DECOR

You can use your engagement photos for so many things like, save the dates, wedding website, invites, engagement party, and updating your socials. You can also create a guestbook for your entry table at your wedding and fill it up with photos from your engagement session. Your guest can leave you a little note on each page and it'll be perfect to display in your home!

III. THEY INCREASE YOUR CONFIDENCE AND COMFORT WHEN HAVING PHOTOS TAKEN

Your confidence and comfort in front of the camera will increase the more you do it, trust me! After your engagement session you should feel less stressed and more prepared for your wedding day. Having your photos taken for the first time on your wedding day is possible, but if you have at least one pre-wedding day shoot you will be so much more relaxed.

IV. OPPORTUNITY TO TRY DIFFERENT STYLES OF HAIR AND MAKEUP

Booking an engagement session gives you the opportunity to see how different hairstyles and makeup will photograph. This will help you decide if you want change anything before the wedding day!

V. ANOTHER WAY TO CELEBRATE YOUR ENGAGEMENT

Treat your engagement session like a special date night. I believe the entire day of your shoot should feel so special and fun! You're already going to be all dressed up so why not go out to dinner, grab drinks, and get your favorite dessert too?!
