Why does every wedding package include an engagement session?
I have referred to these as the “Getting to Know You” session, because they are a great chance for us to spend time together and take beautiful photographs. Photographs that you will love, that are about your love, and in the process you’ll hopefully love me a bit too in the end. I get to learn how you are in front of the camera. I get to figure out what makes you laugh, so I can use it on the day of your wedding to put you at ease if I need to. I also get to learn if you have a “good side” when it comes to pictures. For example, when Elaine took photographs of me when I needed a headshot, we discovered that due to my astigmatism, I have this tendency to do a weird squinting thing with my left eye. You would never see that in person, but it comes out in photos. The ones that we ended up liking the most had me slightly turned, so that my right eye was closer to the camera. I would have never known that before those photos though. Things like this are things I want to know in advance, no
