Did you recently get Engaged? Congratulations! Now that you’re into the wedding planning process, you might be pondering reasons to do an engagement session. Do you even need one?

You are not alone! As Engagement Sessions are included in most of my packages, this topic comes up quite a bit at my wedding consultations. For this reason, I have decided to finally put pen to paper and give you MY Top 3 Reasons Why You Should Definitely Do An Engagement Session.

After that, join me for one of my favourite Adventure Engagement Sessions from last summer with Laura and Mark in the beautiful Alberta Foothills!

1. Get To Know Your Photographer- I’m a big believer that connection is everything. An Engagement Session allows me the opportunity to learn how you two interact, what you like, what you might not like as much, all while photographing you in your most natural and genuine state. Doing an engagement session is a great opportunity to spend a solid chunk of time with me, your photographer so that you get more comfortable with my personality and amazing sense of humour. Your wedding day will flow so much smoother when we build a connection before hand.

2. Use Your Engagement Photos In Your Invites- So many of my amazing wedding couples have used their Engagement Photos for their Invites. What a beautiful way to personalize your invitations! Clients have also used their engagement photos for Announcements, Save the Date cards, guestbooks, and displaying them at your wedding. All clients receive their Engagement Session in a stunning online gallery that is automatically linked to a personalized shop. My goal is to provide my clients with access to amazing Canadian companies for all types of printed products.

3. The Opportunity for A Fun Adventure with Your Special Someone- One of my favourite things to do with couples is to take them somewhere they’ve never been before for a little “adventure”. As the wife of a fly fisherman, I have scouted hundreds of amazing locations in and surrounding Calgary. I love exploring the outdoors and I want your Engagement Session to feel like the perfect date night. It’s important to me that the experience I give you is just as awesome as the photos we will create together.
