5 Reasons Why You Should Book An Engagement Session

So you’re in the decision-making process of all things wedding. You’re trying to decide what season you’d like to get married in, if your dream venue is available, or if you can lock in your favourite food truck as your caterer. Then your photographer has thrown out the idea of booking an engagement session. It initially sounds like a good plan, but you’re uncertain about the value there and think “but won’t we have enough beautiful images from our wedding day”, do we really NEED this?

That’s where I’d like to interrupt this thought with 5 reasons why you SHOULD book an engagement session:

1: It takes pressure away from your wedding day.

Your wedding doesn’t need to be the only day in your life you capture beautiful photos of yourself. Let’s take some pressure off and have fun being a little goofy running around in the woods.

2: It gives you a chance to get to know your photographer better.

Let me show you some beautiful places, share a beer and tell you some cringy jokes. Make sure my weird matches your weird.

3: Gives you confidence in front of the camera.

Practice makes perfect. Not that we’re ever going for perfect but I promise you’ll feel better knowing what the process is like and what to expect.

4: Incorporate a location you wish you could include on your wedding day but logistically isn’t possible.

Maybe your wedding is at the beach in Mexico but you’ve always loved the PNW forests. Why not have your session here and get the best of both worlds!
