If you are wondering whether to take engagement photos or not, look at the below valuable reasons and consider this opportunity.
1. GAIN CONFIDENCE AND GET READY FOR THE WEDDING DAY
First of all an engagement session is a great opportunity to be photographed prior to your wedding day. Even if you are going to hire a different photographer for your wedding it’s still a good idea to feel comfortable in front of the camera and when capturing intimate moments. Some of my clients think it’s not necessary but at the end of each engagement session they just cannot wait to see the pictures. They want something professional to share with family and friends once they get back home.
2. LOCATION
There is something special about destination marriage proposals in Italy – the location. Tell me how many friends of yours have ever thought to propose abroad? Don’t you think it would be brilliant to be photographed in front of Colosseum or Trevi Fountain? How much valuable would your pictures be? Be inspired by the Italian beaty and offer something totally different to your special one. She would definitely appreciate your idea and on the other hand you would appreciate to see her eyes when she says: ‘Yes’.
3. SAVE THE DATE / ANNOUNCEMENT
What can you do with your new pictures? These days engagement images are often used for ‘Save the Date’ cards, engagement announcements, wedding programs, wedding website or guest books. Save the date card is actually a pre-invitation announcing your wedding day and should be only sent to those that you definitely want to attend. Remember: when taking engagement pictures try to use your creativity – have fun and be playful. Spend most of your time laughing, kissing, hugging and saying ‘cheese’ as you may have no time for this on your wedding day.
