It is a good idea to have an engagement shoot for a few good reasons. First of all it is a great rehearsal opportunity for the couple before their wedding day. Your wedding photography experience is going to be much more enjoyable and productive if you've had a chance to meet your wedding photographer and see him or her in action. It will relax you, as some people are camera shy, and without prior experience, wedding photosession might feel awkward at the beginning. Another good reason is that you will have a number of nice shots which you can use for digital wedding invitations and other wedding stationary. You can frame and place the engagement portrait during the wedding reception for your guests to sign around the matte, or the new engagement book, using it instead of the wedding guest book.

This session is all about learning to be natural & relaxed infront of the camera. I find a great location that fits the couples style and allow them to simply be themselves.
