Engagement Photos

An Engagement Session is included in each of our Wedding packages.  Having an engagement session is mutually beneficial to the couple as well as to the photographer.  In addition to providing the couple with photographs to share with their family and friends, "Save the Date" cards, announcements and slideshows to be used during engagement parties and the wedding itself, it also provides the couple a chance to see how they interact with their photographer.  It is very important for the couple and photographer to be comfortable with each other throughout the photographic session especially if the couple is not used to or are uncomfortable with having their photo taken. 

Some couples are "naturals" in front of the camera.  They love to smile and be playful with each other, for the camera. Other couples are self conscience and intimidated by someone snapping numerous photos of them.  I like to make each person feel comfortable with me and with the camera.  I also teach couples posing techniques to create a natural look for memorable photographs.  Not only will being comfortable with the photographer and the camera be helpful for the engagement photos but most importantly for the Wedding Day photos.
