Engagement Photographs

Unless you posses some sort of celebrity status, there are very few times in your life where you hire a photographer to take pictures of you. There is no doubt you'll love your wedding pictures but it's nice to have some great not-so-formal photographs of the two of you in a pretty location such as a nice park.

Scheduling time to capture special moments between you and your fiance is great for three reasons:

• Fabulous pictures for your home, holiday card, parents and grandparents
• You'll have a great photo for the engagement or wedding announcement in your local paper
• These pictures will come in handy should you have a slideshow at the reception
  
• Both of you will become more comfortable with your photographer and in front of the camera

I really emphasize becoming familiar with your photographer and videographer since they will be with you your entire wedding telling you where to stand and what to do. If you are unhappy with them, trust me it will show in the pictures!

Mention to your photographer a pre-wedding photo session is something you may be interested in. If you're still meeting with photographers, ask them if they’ll include a portrait, or portrait session in the package you buy. Many photographers include such a photo session in certain packages or at the very least will give you a significant discount since you booked them for the wedding, sangeet, mehndi etc.
