If you are newly engaged, congratulations! After sharing the big news with your family and friends, you might find yourself asking: 'How do I celebrate this milestone moment?' You may also be contemplating whether to schedule an engagement photo session.

1.  Eliminates the Risk of Hiring a Wrong Photographer

 

Like most couples, you probably have not met your photographer in person until your big day! An engagement session allows you to establish a rapport with your she/he in advance.  Getting comfortable in front of the camera and familiarizing yourself with the photographer's style is important as it results in more natural and authentic wedding day photos. Moreover, it eliminates the risk of hiring a photographer whose work may not meet your expectations.
