Engagement Session, Are They Even Necessary?
Engagement sessions have become a popular choice for many couples, but the question of whether they are necessary often arises. Here’s a look at the 5 reasons for why I believe having an engagement session is absolutely necessary.
Reasons for an Engagement Session:
Getting Comfortable in Front of the Camera: An engagement session provides an opportunity for couples to become familiar with the photography process. Many people feel awkward having their photos taken, and this session can help ease those nerves before the wedding day.
Building Rapport with Your Photographer: This is a chance to establish a connection with your photographer. A relaxed engagement shoot allows you to communicate your preferences and expectations, ensuring that the photographer captures your relationship authentically on the wedding day.
Capturing Personal Moments: Engagement sessions can reflect the couple's personalities and interests. Whether it’s a favourite location, hobby, or style, these photos can serve as a beautiful testament to your journey together before tying the knot.
Creating Save-the-Dates: Many couples use engagement photos for their save-the-date announcements and wedding invitations. High-quality images can enhance the aesthetic of these materials, making them more personal and memorable.
Practice for the Big Day: Having a professional shoot prior to the wedding acts as a practice run. This can help couples understand how to pose, what angles work best, and how to engage with each other for the best results.
In conclusion, I believe that an engagement shoot is necessary to have the couple feeling comfortable and confident in front of the camera, so that on the wedding, you can relax a lot more and enjoy your special day.
