Why Do We Include an Engagement Shoot with Every Wedding Package?

Your wedding is one of the most important, memorable days of your life.  The dreaming, the planning, the details.  You want the photos from your wedding to be fantastic, spectacular even, and to really capture the true essence of your big day.   That’s why you’ve decided to hire a team of professionals.  Photographers who have the equipment and back-up equipment, know how to use it, and can deliver on the promise to capture your moments that you will cherish forever.  The day of the wedding is usually a bundle of excitement mixed with calm chaos,  and we’re right there beside you for the ride, telling the story of your day with the moments we capture.

The only problem:  We’re kinda, sorta, strangers.

We want to spend some time with you, not just a few meetings to discuss the details, before we start shooting.  We want you to be comfortable with us on your wedding day.  Yes, it’s more work on our end, and yes, it adds value to the overall experience and investment in your wedding, but the real secret is that we know our photos will look better if you’ve had a photo session with us before your wedding day.  Photographically selfish, we know, but when you gasp, sigh, and cry with joy over your wedding photos, we do a little happy dance inside.   ~ John and Poppy
