Is an engagement session a must-have before your wedding?

In Part 6, we discussed how we help you feel comfortable in front of the camera—and a big part of that is having an engagement session. With so many details to plan for your wedding—venue, dress, flowers, cake—it’s easy to overlook this step. But trust us, it’s more than just another photoshoot. If you're wondering, Do I really need one?—the answer is a resounding YES!

Engagement shoots are not just fun—they’re a great way to build trust and ease. You and your photographer will get comfortable working together before the big day, helping you feel more relaxed and natural in front of the camera. It’s also a chance to see how you and your partner move together, figure out which poses feel most you, and get used to being the center of attention.

Beyond preparation, engagement sessions are an opportunity to get creative! While your wedding photos will be filled with all the classic, heartfelt moments, your engagement session allows for a more stylized and personal touch. The possibilities are endless, whether you want an elegant, editorial-style shoot, a cozy at-home session, or something completely unique.
