Why an Engagement Session Is More Valuable Than You Think
When planning your wedding, it’s easy to focus all your energy on the big day itself. But one of the most valuable investments you can make before walking down the aisle is your engagement session. As a wedding photographer, I’ve seen firsthand how an engagement session can be a game-changer for your entire wedding experience.
1. It’s the Perfect Practice Run
Being in front of a camera might can feel a little awkward at first—and that’s completely normal. Our engagement session gives you the opportunity to:
Get comfortable being photographed
Learn natural posing and what works best for you
Build trust and rhythm with your photographer (that’s me!)
By the time your wedding rolls around, you’ll feel like a pro, we'll be even better friends and your confidence will shine through in every photo.
2. It Tells Your Story
Your engagement session is all about you two—your personalities, your vibe, your love. Whether it’s a stroll through your favorite city, a dip in the ocean, or an epic sunset hike, this session celebrates your life together before the vows.
These images are perfect for:
Save-the-dates and wedding websites
Guest books or photo displays at your reception
A beautiful visual keepsake of your pre-married life
3. It Strengthens the Connection
I believe that great wedding photography isn’t just about pretty photos—it’s about connection. Spending time together during an engagement session helps us:
Understand how you interact as a couple
Learn your natural chemistry and quirks
Build a relationship so you’re completely relaxed on the wedding day
Your wedding photos will reflect not just how you looked—but how you felt.
4. It Slows Down the Process
Planning a wedding can feel like a whirlwind of decisions and deadlines. Your engagement session is a chance to press pause, be present with each other, and enjoy a little adventure. It's a reminder of why you're planning this big celebration in the first place: because you’ve found your person.
Whether you're newly engaged or already deep in planning, I’d love to help you tell your story. Let’s make some magic together.
