Engagement Photography Session | Washington DC Photographer

Becoming engaged is one of the most significant moments of a person’s life. With it comes all  new possibilities and exciting new adventures with the one you love. It is such a unique season of life in which you begin to start sharing your life in a deeper way with another and begin merging your lives into one. Because of all the beautiful things this period of life holds, what better way to capture these momentous occasions than with an engagement photography session.

Beyond just capturing some of the most exciting times of your life, an engagement session actually kills quite a few birds with one stone.

1. Save the Dates: Instead of just a simple card stating the when and where, save the dates now days usually consist of at least a picture or two. With an engagement photography session, you are able to have several professional photographs to choose from to make the best Save the Date.

2. Wedding Decorations: Often, couples decorate their reception tables with photographs of them throughout their time together leading up to the wedding. While it is nice to have fun photographs from dates or trips or even silly photographs of the two of you, it is also really nice to have some professional photographs amongst them as well.

1. Wedding Photography Practice: One of the things I have been hearing more and more from couples is that they want their photographs between the ceremony and the reception to be quick. They are eager to join their guests and start the party. With having an engagement photography session, you are able to test out poses and set ups, which can help time flow more easily during the wedding portrait time. What better way to prepare for your wedding day?
