As you prepare to tie the knot, you might wonder whether you should schedule an engagement photo shoot in addition to hiring a wedding photographer. Below are just a few of the reasons that prove making engagement photos is a great idea.

5 Reasons to Photograph Your Engagement

1. To get Comfortable With Your Photographer 

Taking engagement photos is a great way to acclimate to your photographer’s style. In addition to posed shots, you’ll get accustomed to them capturing more natural, tender moments between you and your spouse-to-be.

2. It’s Super Fun

Many couples are surprised to learn that being photographed by a pro that you connect with is a blast. It’s also great to have the assurance that you are all a great fit with your photographer before your wedding day.

3. To Flaunt Your Style

Engagement photos give you an opportunity to let your style shine through. Whether you choose to coordinate your outfits or showcase your own unique looks, your engagement session will help you show your style as a couple when it all started. 

4. To Use the Photos for Invitations

As you design save-the-date cards and invitations, include your favorite shots from your engagement session. You might also want to post them on your wedding website and have them professionally printed to use in your reception decor. 

5. It helps your wedding photographer make better and more personal photos on your wedding day

Whether you both have either a cute, fun and playful style together, that feature film movie chemistry, or somewhere in between; your relationship is beautiful and unique. An engagement session is a great opportunity for your photographer to learn more about you both, confirm your best angles and learn your true style together as a couple. More still, the experience will bring back the memories of when you first started dating and strengthen your bond in the weeks leading up to your big day.
