FAQ - Why do I need an engagement photo session?

1. For us to get to know each other. Chances are you never been professionally photographed. An engagement session is a good way for us to get know each other before the wedding day. We can both see how we communicate with each other and on the day of the wedding you'll what to expect. Many times I never get to meet the bride and groom before the wedding. On the day of the wedding they're naturally a bit nervous and they don't what to do.

2. To preserve the memories of being engaged. Your engagement is a VERY special time in your life. These photos will be something you can always look back at to remember this time. When you’ve been married for a while, you’ll start to forget about what it was like to be engaged. If you have a set of photos to look back on, you’ll never forget those special moments.

3. To announce your wedding. There are several creative ways to announce your engagement with your photos. One common way to use your photos is to send out save the date cards. We can make custom save the date cards and even incorporate your photos into custom wedding invitations. I can also set up a wedding website for you with your engagement photos so you can tell your whole family to check out your website to keep up with your wedding plans.

4. To have a romantic date. When you are in the process of making each other laugh, you realize how much you love each other. Your job on an engagement shoot is to have fun and be in love. Try to think about all the reasons you love each other and how excited you are about getting married. I like to take couples to a place that is special to them for their engagement session. Maybe the place where you had your first kiss, or your first date. The more romantic the session can be, the better the photos will turn out.

5. To show off how good you look. Your engagement is one of the times when you will look your best. You will be excited and in love, which makes you look better than ever in photos. Why not get photos to show your family and friends how great you look.

6. To have fun! Everyone who I take pictures of has an awesome time during their photo session. These aren’t the boring photography sessions you had when you were a kid. You get to spend quality time together and most of the time find some cool places to hang out. My goal is to get couples to interact with each other and find ways to make each other laugh. When you are having fun, I can get the best pictures of you.
7. Because your fiance wants to. Guys, if your fiance wants engagement pictures… you should listen to her ;). The easiest way to keep her calm during the wedding planning is to just do what she says.
