Building Rapport with Your Photographer

Share the importance of establishing a connection with the person who will be capturing your most intimate moments. The engagement session provides the perfect opportunity to get to know your photographer and build trust.

Getting Comfortable With Being In Front Of The Camera

We acknowledge that not everyone is used to being in front of a camera. The engagement session serves as a practice run, allowing the couple to become more comfortable and natural, resulting in relaxed and genuine photos on the wedding day.

Understanding Your Photographer's Style

Creating Lasting Memories
