Why Doing an Engagement Session is Important
If you are not physically in the same state or country as your hired photographer, then you might get a hall pass with this. However, if you have the capability to do an engagement shoot with your desired photographer, then we 100% recommend doing so. The engagement shoot is not just a time to get more pictures of yourselves (even though this is a perk), but a time to really bond with your photographer.
There is nothing more awkward than feeling uncomfortable with your photographer on the day of your wedding and it coming across in all of your portraits. Doing an engagement session will eliminate any of these feelings, and create a healthier relationship amongst everyone. Plus the engagement session is a great way to take a sneak peek at how well your photos are going to come out on your big day!
