This engagement session was shot in fall at Gibbons Park, London Ontario. To wrap up the week of practical reasons why I think engagement sessions are important, final reason is to capture this very important stage in your lives. For most people, they will be engaged for far less time than when they were dating or when they are married, so I think it’s very important to capture this stage with some portraits that show where you are as a couple. This gorgeous couple were engaged not long before this shoot and I think you can really see the renewed spark between them in the photos. These photos can also be used as announcements, save the dates, on invitations or on a wedding website, sure you might have a favourite selfie that you would like to use as a save the date but when your guests might have it stuck on the fridge for a year and a half, in my opinion it is a better idea to have that be a professional photo that is unlike what they would see as your profile picture.
In case you missed the others-
– Allows you to get comfortable with your photographer and helps with posing on the wedding day.
– Put fun back into the planning process
– Can choose a different season to your wedding for more variety in your photographs
– Different location that means something to both of you
