Should you do an engagement session?
As you start planning your wedding you may be wondering whether or not to book an engagement session with your photographer. While it may seem like an optional extra, there are many reasons why an engagement session is a must-have for your wedding. In this blog post, we'll explore five reasons why you should consider booking an engagement session with the photographer who will shoot your wedding.
Get to know your photographer
An engagement session is a great chance to get to work with your photographer before the big day. It will help you get a feel for how things will run, ask questions and will help you feel more comfortable on your wedding day.

2. Get comfortable in front of the camera
If you’re like most people, you don’t have professional photos taken every day. It’s easy to feel a little nervous getting in front of the camera for the first time, especially on such a big day. An engagement session is the perfect way to get comfortable in front of the camera. You’ll learn how to pose, what angles work best for you and how to relax and enjoy the process. By the time the wedding comes around you’ll be a pro!
Your photographer will have a better understanding of your preferences, your style, and what works best for you. They'll be able to anticipate your needs and capture all of the moments that matter the most to you.
3. Create Save-the-Date’s
Your engagement is a special time in your life that you'll want to remember forever. An engagement session is a great way to create beautiful photos of you and your better half to share with family and friends. You can use these photos for save-the-dates, invitations, or even display them at your wedding. They'll also make a great addition to your home décor. An engagement session is the perfect way to document this time and capture your love story. You can look back on these photos in years to come and remember how you felt during this exciting time.
(Pro-Tip: Get your hair and makeup trial the same day as your engagement session for a chance to start to see how your whole look will come together. This will give you a chance to see how everything will photograph and make any adjustments you need before the wedding day)
While it’s easy to settle for a friend or loved one taking some quick photos of you and your significant other, having an engagement with the photographer who will shoot your wedding has a lot of benefits that will make the wedding day all that much smoother and more enjoyable. So, whether you're planning a big wedding or an intimate ceremony, consider booking an engagement session with your photographer. You won't regret it!
