Should We Book an Engagement Session?

What an exciting time! There’s so much to do and so many emotions that come with planning your big day and the next chapter of your life together. As you dive into all the wedding details, you might be wondering:

“Should we take engagement photos?”

Here are a few reasons why I always recommend booking an engagement session—some you might not have thought of:

---

You’ll feel comfortable in front of the camera

Most couples I photograph have never been in front of the camera together before. Engagement sessions are the perfect way to get comfortable long before your wedding day. I’ll guide you through flattering poses and fun prompts so your smiles and movements feel natural and effortless. By the wedding day, you’ll feel confident, relaxed, and ready to enjoy the moment.

You’ll get to know your Chicago engagement photographer

An engagement session gives us the chance to connect before your big day. I get to learn your personalities, your love story, and the way you naturally interact so I can capture your wedding in the most authentic way possible. And you’ll get to know me, too—which makes your wedding photos even better because you’ll already feel comfortable in front of the camera.

You’ll know exactly what to expect on your wedding day

By the time your wedding arrives, you’ll be pros at photos. You’ll already know my style and what it’s like to be photographed, which means less stress for you and more time to soak in every moment while I handle the memories.

YOEO! (You’re Only Engaged Once!)

You only get to be engaged once, and it goes by so quickly! Engagement photos let you slow down, celebrate this exciting season, and focus on each other before the wedding day whirlwind begins.

Make it a date night: dress up, bring your favorite champagne, or choose meaningful Chicago locations—like where you had your first date—for an extra personal touch.
