Congratulations on your engagement! But have you captured that beautiful moment to keep it for memories? Most couples value wedding photographs but engagement photos are always a debate. Typically, engagements last a year or two, it’s a short moment in time where you are someones finance, you’ve waited so long to say that! You are engaged, and it is worth capturing; that’s why you need to book an engagement session.
An engagement session involves just you and your partner, as your wedding photographer. I offer the a variety of locations, outfits and ideas suitable for the session. If you follow my blogs or social media accounts, you will see how obsessed I am with these fun and energetic engagement session.
But what’s the point of booking engagement sessions? These sessions are fun and romantic, but there are other reasons why they are so special and important.
Get Comfortable and Confident in front of the cameras
When it comes to posing, most of us are not professionals, and some are even shy for the camera. The thought of doing any type of photoshoot is daunting to the average person. By practicing before your big day, you will become more comfortable and confident standing in front of the camera. Each photographer has a different posing style. The more time you spend with me taking your pictures and trying different poses, the more it will become easy for you on your wedding day.
During the engagement session, you get to see a variety of photography styles in your photos. This gives you enough time to evaluate some of the styles and poses you like and don’t like before your big day. Picture it as a trial for your fun and candid wedding.
Makes a Great Guest Book
One of the best reasons for an engagement is to make a great guest book for my spontaneous, carefree clientele. For every couple session, I am more focused on creating a guest book that captures all the special moments for memories during your Wedding day. I actually love doing this and have it included in my ultimate couples session.
Traditional guest books are outdated today. People are in a new era where they can select their favorite pictures and display them for visitors to sign or wish them well on their wedding. This personalizes the experience and enhances the guest book into a beautiful treasure that displays special moments in a love story.
Once you are done with your wedding, you can revisit the unique engagement photos, which include heartfelt wishes and photos from the people you love. Your journey together in every step will become a memory treasure for years.
It actually can be fun!
Absolutely, engagement photos can be a lot of fun! While they can certainly be romantic, they can also be styled like a playful date night. There are countless ways to incorporate activities you both love into your photo session. For years, I have done everything for my clients, from dirt bike photos to boating and lake sessions, skate parks, city nightlife, ice skating, movie theatres, and even riding to Banff, Calgary, Rocky Mountains, and Edmonton, Alberta, among other cities. To make the photo session more special for you, I recommend some of the best romantic places with beautiful sunsets and nature.
Working with professional photographers who are more experienced with the best posing ideas for couples allows you to enjoy the moment while getting more comfortable with it. If you or your partner are not into photos, then this is the perfect opportunity to get used to them for your adventure wedding.
Get to know your photographer
This is number one: If you’ve hired a photographer you’ve never met before, don’t let your first meeting be on your wedding day. Many people feel anxious about the photo portion of the wedding, second only to the vows. An engagement session allows you to relieve some of that pressure by getting to know your photographer, understanding how you work together, and figuring out where to position your hands….no one really knows. Isn’t that worth it?
Great Inspiration for your Wedding Décor
Wedding décor is a great way to make your wedding grand. You can add a personal touch to your décor by decorating your table number cards, table settings, photo boards, invitations, or day-of itinerary cards. It is one of the best ways to express your love. You can tell your fiancé the purpose of the décor.
Take a Break from Wedding Stress and Enjoy the Engagement
You can take your engagement session as a way to rewind from the stress, forget everything, and enjoy being engaged. It’s time to dress up, style your hair, and do your make-up; go for a movie night or dinner after the photo sessions. Take the time to reflect and revisit the reasons why you are marrying your fiancé.
Final Thoughts
In conclusion, book that engagement session and have the best photos and moments captured. Book yourself the best photographer (I know a great photographer that you can book), spend enough time to familiarize yourself with each other, and be comfortable for your adventurous wedding. You will get a chance to select the best wedding photo poses that suits you and your spouse.
