Congratulations! You're engaged!
Now that you've found your wedding photographer, it's time to start planning.
Here are six things you should think about before your engagement session.
First, your engagement session is like a trial before your wedding. You can get to know how well you work with your photographer, and what images you can expect from them. You will get to know their personal style, rather than just seeing their images on their website. Do they make you feel comfortable and relaxed?
Most wedding packages include an engagement session. This allows your photographer to get to know you. But you can book just the engagement session, and later decide whether you want this particular photographer to photograph your wedding.
2. Consider some of your favorite activities and locations.
Make a pinterest board of some of your favorite image ideas. Let your photographer know, so they can check out your board ahead of time. Some photographers would rather just shoot from the hip, but I like to have your input. (Just keep in mind that those pinterest boards can't be duplicated exactly. They are just for inspiration.) These images were taken out at Tawas State Park in Tawas, Michigan. There is a nice variety of beautiful backdrops there.
3. You will want to choose your photographer carefully.
4. Time of day is very important.
5. An hour session is all you should need to get lot's of nice images.
6. Schedule a consultation beforehand
Just relax, have fun and enjoy the time with your fiancé, and everything will go smoothly and you'll get some beautiful images to look back on over the years, maybe even your 50 year anniversary!
