He just pop the question!!! Yeyyyy!!! you are so excited and happy and you run to your room to dig out that binder with all scraps you put together a long time ago as a little girl! MY MAGICAL WEDDING! YES, finally you can plan and have it as you imagined!

You’ve chosen the venue. Now time for booking someone who can keep your memories alive forever. Time to chose a photographer! And here come the questions “Did you consider engagement session?”

“- I say WHAAAT! I didn’t even think about it, do I need it? Is that something I should have? Do people get it? Is it nowadays a must or not?”- all these questions pop instantly into your head.

So here I will tell you why it is a good idea to have an engagement session before your wedding!

Number 1. Get used to the ‘stocker’ with lens!

Oh yes, your photographer will be almost everywhere. He/she turns in to paparazzi on your wedding day! For some that may be quite overwhelming. Having an engagement session allows you to get to know your photographer. And that’s probably the most important thing! Can you imagine your wedding day (when you are already fed up with nerves) and additional unnecessary stress caused by the presence of a photographer? It is worth getting used to the man/women following you with the camera step by step.  Besides, as we all know – training makes perfect!  This is important because only with the person you transmit on similar waves, you will pose for pictures without artificiality and awkwardness. Such an experience will surely be an ice breaker – because the most beautiful pictures are those on which you are simply yourself.

 

Number 2: Have some fun!

Yes, posing for photos can be fun! The professional will surely know how to create such an atmosphere. Rad and joy will be all you can see in the pictures.

Number 3: You are beautiful! – get confidence! Your photos will be stunning!

Especially seeing the final results of photographer work or processed photos! Because in the photos everyone can look good and do not have to be a professional model! This effect will be ensured by appropriate shots, but also – let’s not hide – the proper processing of the photographic material.

Number 4: Don’t forget about Instagram! Make all girls jealous! LOL!

It is the best way to announce your engagement on Instagram! I think I don’t need to say more 😉

Number 5: Nice photos can come handy!

And their use can be really versatile! You can use them as Save the date, use them to create the guest book (eg for the first page), set them in the frames on the tables (even with the table numbers), give away to the guests as a thank you. You don’t know what to give your parents as a thank you gift! You can use the photographs as a gift for parents. Instead of spending long hours thinking about making a present. All you need is nice 😉 frames!

The possibilities are really many, and the only condition that gives the chance for later use of the photos is to perform the session in advance.

Number 6: Take a brake from wedding planing!

In addition, the engagement session is above all a great opportunity to be together, stop for a moment in the chaos of wedding preparations and focus on your love here and now. In the beginning, you will be a little embarrassed by how to show love when someone ‘stares’ at you with a camera. With time, however, you will become a bit more courageous and open. This cooperation and trust, in return, will help us during your special day. Now it is a time to experiment, get a little crazy, bring props or do shoots in places only you both know. On the end at the wedding – it will be hard to focus on yourself, after all, it is a social party in which you will be surrounded by a group of your closest relatives, family, and friends. The engagement session is primarily for you!
