The Importance of an Engagement Session Before the Big Day

Have you ever wondered if having an engagement session before your wedding day is really necessary?

As someone who’s worked with many brides, I can confidently say that an engagement session is absolutely worth it. Here’s why:

Get To Know Your Photographer

One of the biggest benefits of an engagement session is getting to know your photographer.

Building that connection is so important (and honestly, it’s a lot of fun!). By spending time with your photographer before the wedding, you’ll feel more comfortable and confident in front of the camera.

Plus, any nerves you might have about being photographed on your wedding day? Those will melt away because you’ve already connected with your photographer and know you can fully trust her to capture every moment beautifully.

Give Yourself Practice

Maybe you love being in front of the camera—but let’s be real, not everyone does.

An engagement session gives you the chance to practice being photographed as a couple. You’ll get a feel for what poses and moments feel natural, and you’ll learn to relax in front of the lens.

It’s kind of like a rehearsal before the big game (with the “game” being your wedding day). By the time your wedding rolls around, you’ll feel more at ease!

Capture This Special Season

Your wedding day will bring gorgeous, timeless photos, but your engagement is a special season too, and it’s worth capturing.

For many couples, their engagement lasts a year or more. An engagement session gives you beautiful images to celebrate this exciting time in your life. Plus, these photos are so versatile:

• Use them for Save the Date cards
• Display them at wedding showers and your wedding
• Hang them in your home to remind you of this sweet time

You’ll never regret having the photos!

Engagement sessions are more than just a photoshoot—they’re a chance to connect with your photographer, get comfortable in front of the camera, and create lasting memories of this exciting chapter in your life.
