Should we do an engagement session? Absolutely! When you book your wedding package with me, I automatically include a 1 hour “get to know you” session. I call t a get to know you session because it is our time to bond and get to know each other a little bit before the wedding! Its a great time to talk and get comfortable with each other so on the day of the wedding we all know what to expect and no ice will need to be broken! On top of it all, you are going to get some awesome pictures too!
So where should we shoot our engagement session? I suggest a place that holds some meaning to the two of you as couple. Maybe where you first met, or where he proposed, Try to think of a place that you feel you would LOVE to have your photos taken, if you cant think of anything, let me know I have some great ideas!
What should we wear for our engagement session? I recommennd you dress comfortable, photos always come out better when you are relaxed and feel comfortable. Wear comfortable shoes and clothes that you dont mind getting a little messy, especially if we are doing a beach shoot! Jeans and a nice shirt always looks good – BUT on the other hand this session is about you as a couple so if you like to wear matching pink polka-dots or even your pajamas go for it! I want to capture the essence of you!!
Can we bring a prop? You sure can, I had one couple bring a tandem Bicycle as a prop and the shoot was a blast! Props can be a lot of fun, especially if it has meaning to you guys!
I hope you found this short post helpful, I wanted to answer some of the questions that brides normally ask me about E-sessions. They really are alot of fun and a great way to get some casual photos of yourselves and since they come free with every wedding package you book with me it makes it even better!
