Why Engagement Sessions are Important – There are many reasons why I always suggest engagement sessions to anyone! In this blog, I’ll explain to you all the ins and outs of having a great engagement session, while also explaining why it’s so important! Check out Ottawa’s Best Engagement Locations.
Engagement sessions are a must!
It’s the perfect way to truly get to know your photographer before your wedding day. An engagement session is a perfect way for your photographer to get a peek inside your relationship, how you interact with each other. This will make sure that once your wedding day comes, they’ll know exactly what you like or don’t and how to pose you the best!
It will also help you feel more comfortable in front of the camera. Most couples, they’ve never had their photos taken professionally. That’s why an engagement session can help you practice different poses! It also allows you to learn how to be yourself in front of the camera while also getting some help from your photographer. That way on your wedding day, you’ll know what to expect, how to work with your photographer and be fully present on this special day and forget they’re even there!
It’s also a great excuse to show off that gorgeous ring!
Don’t know how to pose? Don’t worry!
If you’re a bit nervous about your engagement session, don’t be! Your photographer is there to help you along the way. They’ll help with posing and most importantly, help you with feeling comfortable in front of the camera. Your photographer is a professional and has shot countless sessions.
If you’re feeling really nervous because you don’t know how to pose, let your photographer know. This way during your session, your photographer will make sure to help you with the posing and might even show you a few sneak peeks from their camera.
The point of an engagement session is to share a special moment with your loved one and have fun!
I love it when couples have unique ideas for a session!
Are you not really sure what to do for your engagement session but want it to be special? Talk with your photographer and brainstorm some ideas! Whether it’s including your pets, a place that means a lot to the both of you, or even having it on a boat like this couple!
I absolutely love it when couples reach out saying they want to do something fun for their engagement photos! This makes the day that much better and is such an amazing memory to share with your partner.
This couple chose to do smoke bombs at their engagement session! Who knows, you might come up with something you’d want to do on your wedding day!
Being engaged is a milestone worth celebrating!
The engagement period is so important in your relationship, but often gets overlooked by the wedding day. Engagement photos are a great way to capture this special time in your life. Having a lot of photos together is nice but hiring a photographer to take professional photos is so much better in every way!
Your photographer will be able to take real moments that show the true emotions you have for each other while being engaged! You’ll never regret getting those professional photos done because you can’t relive a moment but you can cherish it.
You can use the photos in so many ways!
Another reason to take engagement photos is to have them for your save-the-dates or to have them on your wedding day.
Here are a few ideas for you to use your engagement photos for. A lot of couples like to have a guest book for people to sign as they arrive. This is a great way to include your photos on your special day, with a custom photo book. You can also have your favourite photos from the session displayed at your reception or even in a slideshow! You can also use them at your engagement party or bridal shower. Or you can just show them off online. There are so many great ideas to use your photos for.
You’ll be able to express yourselves
The last reason to take engagement photos is that you’ll be able to express yourselves! without-doubt love your wedding photos, but the engagement photos will capture you and your partner in a natural environment. Plus, you get to choose your location and a style that best represents both of you as a couple. You’ll have photos that are so meaningful to you.
