Your friend was able to catch the proposal with her cell phone. And now, you can share this milestone moment by posting on Instagram or Facebook and be done with it. But I’m here to tell you 3 Reasons Not to Skip Your Engagement Session, no matter how big or small your wedding plans are!

1. Get Comfortable In Front of the Camera

Firstly, an Engagement Portrait Session helps you, as a couple, get comfortable in front of the camera and with your photographer. Not everyone is an extrovert when it comes to taking pictures. Most people believe themselves to be awkward and uncomfortable. The engagement session is the time to get it all figured out before the big day! A perfect opportunity to learn how the two of you and your photographer work the best together.
