Why take engagement pictures?

I had a couple ask me, "What are engagement pictures?"

I have had others say, "Why do we need engagement pictures? We can take our own."

Well engagement photos are generally taken to have as a reminder of your engagement phase, for your "Save the Date" invitations, and maybe just for fun.

I'll tell you why it's a wonderful reason to take engagement photos.

Many of us are shy in front of the camera. I know I am!

If you are so shy, how do you think you will be taking photos the day of you wedding?

Those photos will last you a lifetime!

Having an engagement session with the photographer you hire for your wedding

is a wonderful opportunity to see how both you and your fiance' along with your photographer will work.

You get to see your photographer in action, and you will be much better friends afterwards!

Which, will include in an amazing wedding day, because you will be able to trust your

photographer more than ever!

See, engagement shoots are so awesome! Not only that, but so much fun! :)
