Benefits
•Unless you’re accustomed to working with a professional photographer, having your portraits taken in a public setting can be unnerving. Your wedding day is not the time to feel uncomfortable while your photographer is trying to capture your special moments!
•The engagement session allows both of you to become more comfortable in front of the camera and builds a personal relationship with your photographer, establishing trust and familiarity.
•During the engagement photo session, you’ll have a fun time as you are casually taught to pose and your photographer gains a better knowledge of your personalities and best expressions!
•After working with SGI Photography for your engagement session as well as your bridal portrait session, by your wedding date ~ instead of ‘the wedding photographer’ showing up, you’ll feel like a family friend has arrived to share in your joyous occasion!
•Another benefit to the engagement photo shoot is that you will be able to view your photos online and see how great you look! This increases your confidence as models as well as in the capabilities of your wedding photographer.
•You will have ample time to communicate clearly about your photography style preferences so that SGI Photography can be sure to implement those same techniques on your wedding day.
•With the experience of an engagement portrait session by SGI Photography, you’ll benefit by having much less to stress about on the day of your dreams!
