• It’s that time of year again – ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS!

  

  The weather is starting to give us hints of spring and it’s time to start thinking of your engagement session!

  
  Why do we do an engagement session? Years ago, the couple did their engagement picture to use in the newspaper to announce their engagement. These days with the internet, email, blogs and all sorts of personal communication the news paper announcement isn’t used as much any more. But there are very important reasons to have an engagement session.

  Not only do you want to have some great shots of you and your fiance, but you can use the e-session as a practice run for your wedding. Unless you spend a lot of time in front of the camera, your wedding day can be overwhelming when you are the center of attention. In addition to your wedding photographer taking pictures of you ALL day, don’t forget all your friends and family with their cameras. It’s like having your own paparazzi for a day! So you want to be comfortable in front of the camera.

  You and your fiance also want to be comfortable with your wedding photographer – how does he/she shoot? What is their style of giving directions to you? If you are experiencing this for the first time on your wedding day, (in front of everyone else) it can be uncomfortable if you haven’t had a chance to work with them before.

  You can also see from your e-session poses that flatter you, looks that don’t, etc. so that you can be better prepared for the big day!

  Next: What do I wear for my engagement session?
