Why should I have an engagement session?

I’m engaged! What do I do now?

So, you just got engaged! Congratulations. You may be asking yourself “ Now what?” I would recommend starting your search for a photographer. Engagement sessions are important for several reasons and we will go over a few here.

Finding the right photographer

When it comes to photography, there are many styles. Knowing what style speaks to you is the most important tool for your search. There are different editing styles to consider, some edit in a true to life color, and others may be light and airy, bold and colorful, dark and moody, and many other combinations. Each photographer also runs their session differently. Some use nothing but poses and will direct you from the top of your head to which way your toes should point while other photographers are strictly candid. Knowing what you need from your photographer can save you some misunderstanding and disappointment.

Okay, but why?

Planning a wedding has so many intricate pieces. Generally, you will want to send out save the dates. These are usually generated from your engagement session. Many couples also choose to create a wedding website and you will want some images for that as well. Another important part is that this will give you a chance to trial a photographer you would like to use for your wedding. It is so important to work with your photographer beforehand to ensure you like working together. Another plus is that you can try out a hair and makeup artist as well.
