To Engage or Not to Engage: Engagement Sessions in Wedding Photography Packages
Congratulations on your engagement! As you begin planning your big day, you'll need to decide whether or not to include an engagement session in your wedding photography package.
Some photographers include an engagement session in their packages, while others don't. But why is that?
First, let's define what an engagement session is. It's a photo shoot before the wedding, typically at a location with special meaning to the couple. It's an opportunity for the couple to get comfortable in front of the camera and for the photographer to get to know their personalities and preferences.
Now, why do some photographers include an engagement session in their packages? One reason is that it gives the couple a chance to get to know their photographer before the big day. This can help put the couple at ease and make them feel more comfortable in front of the camera on their wedding day. Engagement sessions can also be an excellent way for the couple to have some beautiful, intimate photos of the two before the wedding day.
On the other hand, some photographers need to include engagement sessions in their packages. This may be because they feel that their time is better spent focusing on the wedding day itself or because they need to see the value in offering engagement sessions. Additionally, some photographers may charge extra for engagement sessions to increase their revenue.
So, what should you do? Ultimately, the decision is yours. If an engagement session is important to you and your partner, then it's worth considering a photographer who includes it in their package. If you still need to, you can opt for a photographer who doesn't offer it or charges it separately.
An engagement session can be a great way to get to know your photographer and get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. It can also be a great way to have some beautiful, intimate photos of just the two of you before the wedding day. Whether you decide to include an engagement session in your photography package, remember that what's most important is finding a photographer whose style and approach align with your vision for your wedding day.
At Moments by Frank, we understand the importance of engagement sessions, so we include them in all of our packages for free. The couple will feel more comfortable in front of the camera and with the photographer by offering an engagement session. This allows for a more relaxed and enjoyable experience on the wedding day.
During our engagement sessions, we will also go over posing and help guide the couple to look their best in front of the camera. This ensures that the photos will be beautiful and helps alleviate any stress or nerves the couple may have on the wedding day. We aim to provide that the couple can focus on getting married and enjoying their special day rather than worrying about how they look in front of the camera.
We are dedicated to capturing the love and joy of your special day. By offering engagement sessions in all of our packages, we can help make your wedding experience as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.
